    I love those mug rugs! and the gifts? really? so many in one package. it would feel like Christmas in July for sure! wowsa. Remember while those are stunning packages if you cant send that its ok. Send your mug rug and write a nice note it will be appreciated too. I have to say yesterday I was really surprised when I received a mug rug in the mail for me. Last month Dfelker sent me an icecream cone mug rug and also some beautiful fabrics. This month sewbizgirl sent to me a mug rug that says ... get this drum roll... How does your garden grow? on it. lol I got such a kick out of the fact she found fabric with that saying on it and how PERFECTLY it matched the theme of this month.. it cracked me up. She also sent a sweet book and a bar of delicious smelling soap. Its made with bees wax. my sister makes soaps but with different products so it was so cool to see the similar end results but different products. I am writing her immediately since they got into bee keeping just a year ago. surely they will end up with bees wax in abundance also. The advantage of these soaps is they keep for a long time where as the liquids you buy are gone in a week. also these really are great at exfoliating and also moisturizing your skin so well. its cool to see how creative you women really are. bravo! and thanks to both of you for being so kind to think about me. I love the little mug rugs a lt. these two will go on the wall of fame in the sewing room. don't want to mess them up! HECK NO! lol.

    Everyone is getting nice swap packages. I'm just waiting for my swap partner to mail hers out and then I'll mail at the same time.

    You are welcome, Linda! I have a picture I can post of the mug rug if you can't, but unfortunately it's on my laptop that needs to go in the shop. So... later. I hope you enjoy the book. It's fabulous!

    I was able to retrieve the picture... here's the MR I sent to Elisabrat. When I saw that fabric, I knew she had to have one made in it.

    Holy Catfish, Katie! You must have been a very good girl this year! Great swap package.

    Oh Ctyankee - that might be a "southern thing" where some of us drink out of mason jars - the top/lid actually has a hole in the middle that you place the straw through to drink your beverage . Just what will they think of next .. . ?? I'm sure the description isn't what the true name is, but then sometimes I just print things to see if anyone is reading (now I'm being real funny!!!). Yes, I'm a little crazy silly but a good soul
