Okay, apologies to one of my secret pals. When I type the address into the USPS site to print a label, it autocorrects I and I hit accept without looking at the correction closely. My package was delivered to the wrong PO BOX in the wrong city. It is on its way back to me. I will remail. So sorry SP.

Lori, prayers for your brother in law going up. Not sure if I'm in for December. Will see ...
Wishing all a Happy Thanksgiving!

I want Verna2197 as my SP next month! I absolutely love the pieces she embroidered and since I celebrate Christmas as a Christian, I really think they should come to me! How's that for being bold and forthright?

Hav4boys -- I'm so sorry you ended up with rude and uncaring recipients this month. To have two not acknowledge the gifts is incredible. When I'm in that situation (rarely, thank goodness), I initiate a Post Office package search as I go by the principal that if someone doesn't acknowledge a gift then they didn't get it. That often shames the person into responding.

Krystyna -- you just started back in the swap, you can't skip December. Santa would not be happy!

Vitality -- your package was just great. Well.... except it didn't contain any chocolate. But other than that, you did good. When I first started out with these swaps, my packages were rather skimpy as I didn't have much of a stash nor extra notions hanging around. But within 18 months, I now have a plastic tub filled to overflowing with items to give to my SPs. The trick is to buy on sale AND to make up a few small homemade items. Lately folks have been getting chicken pincushions or mug rugs from me as that's what I've been crafting -- cheap and easy to make. A few months ago, folks were receiving the 10 minute tablerunners. Who knows where my interests will be in another few months?

Hi Ladies, Just a quick note to let you know I am bowing out of the swap and pretty much everything else on QB. Please see previous post for a hint as to why. I love you all and will miss you.

guess I missed it?????

Oh for heaven's sake -- what's with the censorship?? Will our eyes burn out of our heads if we see a funny picture? Are there lawyers lurking on the website just waiting for someone to post a picture that could result in "copyright" infringements, giving them a chance to wipe out QB with fines and legal fees? With events the past month or so, we can all use a laugh. I'm sure a website concerned with sewing and being accessed mostly by grandmother-type people (ie. the over 50 crowd) isn't a major concern to the powers of the world. Was there a pm explaining why the picture was deleted, giving the poster a chance to modify it; or was it just rudely removed with a comment implying the poster was guilty of some major crime for all to see. C'mon folks, how bad could it have been?

You took the words right out of my mouth Nancy! Lots of new rules popping up lately it seems. Hope you reconsider Krystyna
