I am sending in the flat rate boxes also. Most of the time I add homemade jams and jellies to my boxes so the weight can get up there and with the flat rate I dont have to worry about busting my budget.

For anyone looking, I was looking through Joannes sale items today online and they are having some amazing sale prices for scissors, books, patterns, and other goodies. I only made it through the first 10 pages and all of those items were under 9 bucks. I found a book on Biscuit quilts and a set of 60 quilt labels on their I would love to add to my list if it wasnt already out there in cyber world somewhere.

My little DGD loved going to the Dollar Store and buying some piece of $ junk, then complaining when it broke before she ever got home. I told her if she saved that dollar from her trips to the store, she could have $10 to buy something nice that wouldn't break.
I wouldn't be disappointed! I love surprizes and the fun is in the preparing & giving of the gift and I reckon the joy of receiving such a gift is knowing the giver had the same joy in preparing the gift.

Haven't got my name either and since my company has gone home, I'M READY! But I am patient, will take my place with those that are still waiting.
Just in case someone has my name, I would love to have a pincushion/mug rug/fabric strips, 21/2" wide.

Heidi asks for very little, but loves fluffy stuffed toys. She's not much for snacks either, since she is watching her lovely figure.
Heidi does love her babies, doesn't she? How is the racoon stuffed baby?
My lady likes the same as you...doesn't want anything not quilt related....and from her pictures...she makes pretty quilts.

I have my name and it is a new person that I have never swapped with so I am excited. To me, the greatest gift of all in this swap is getting to know another quilter and how they came to enjoy quilting. I am looking forward to putting little treasures together for my swap partner....she is quite far away from my neck of the woods.
