Thanks ladies! I mailed a couple of packages the other day and used the USPS.com site to print postage and label. It was so easy and free delivery confirmation. The padded envelope cost me $5.10. I'll use this method for shipping candy back to all y'all for sure!!

Darn, just when I thought I was on top of things...I forgot about the postage increase. Sorry SheriR, I'll have to send additional postage for my return package. I'll get it in the mail tomorrow.


P.S. I mailed my package Saturday.

All the candy is in nice, neat stacks in their little bags. Will mail tomorrow. Before I try to straighten and organize my sewing "mess", will you do this swap again soon. If so, I may as well continue cutting the main "candy" variety and organize later.

Mary Ellen Brace OH, by the way, I just did the 15 sets and did NOT include any Holiday or Batik.

Quiltinghere, yes yes you have time to cut still! I've still got to do my Holiday....

Twisted, PM me about your postage. I've got padded envelopes and plan on making my labels and printing shipping off the USPS site. It will cost $5.10. Free delivery confirmation. Some ladies sent $6 or more and will be receiving money back from me.

Marybrace, I am hopping I can continue hosting these candy swaps. I'm thinking the next one will be March/April/May.

Also, I wanted to share pics of what I've made with some of my "candy". All were Christmas gifts, I still need to make one for me. Thank you to CountryHouseQuilter who gave me the idea. I believe I was checking out her blog ans saw pics of here making some with her friends? THANKS again CHQ! The bags are Midi-Mondo bags from www.quiltsmart.com. They also have a larger tote (Mondo). Super easy, super fun, super cute and well received by their recipients.

Happy quilting ladies!

Sheri, are you planning a "twist" for March/April/May? Valentines, St. Pat's, Easter? All of the above. Tell me what to buy because I'm in! Lisa

Hey SheriR - glad you checked out my blog and saw the Mondo Bags. I love mine. I have one done in batiks for Spring, one in all fall/halloween squares for my favorite time of the year, and one done in purple/gold/black/Ravens fabric for my favorite football team!!! I've made several others and sold them as they are awesome bags!!!! That's why I wanted to do this swap. I need more 2 1/2" squares for my stash!!!!

I'm mailing mine out to you on Friday. Can't wait to see what I get back!!!!! I' sooooo excited!!!!
