I'm saving the flannel we found till next winter, the thought of sewing with it right now makes my skin crawl it's been so hot...
Oh...lemonade Candi, please, do you still have it with strawberries his month...

We went to Pigeon Forge and Saturday and a few quilt stores there had a great time. Still looking for the thrift stores here I will let you know what I find

Terryl,
It's me, it's me it's me my zip has 2 0's and I just *know* that no one else had 2 0's in their zip, plus I said I'd be sipping (guzzling) lemonade. Today it's more hot chocolate weather :wink:

I was so glad to hear from my SP that she had received it. Has anyone else had trouble tracking international mail?

Jeanne I was sending a package to Canada not long ago (NOT for this swap). My postmaster told me to not bother to spend the extra $ to add the tracking or delivery confirmation. He said once it leaves the US there is no way to track it. The other countries don't do any tracking for US mail. SO it's a waste of $ to put it on the international packages. crafty_linda_b

Wow! I got a most awesome and thoughtful package from my partner Oma66 today. She spoiled me rotten sending me wonderful fabrics, books and a tool case. The lilacs are among my favorite flowers, and the elephants are among my favorite animals, so she really did well choosing the fabrics she did. The two books look great, I can't wait to browse them some more this evening. And not only did she send chocolate to this chocolate lover, but she also sent me tea, my favorite beverage. You really did spoil, thank you so much for a wonderful package.

My package from Oma66, she was yoo good to me:)

And yes, sometime tracking international mail doesn't work too well. Glad your package arrived safely and quickly.
