I should have already mailed my SP's package but am waiting for a delivery from a well known internet site for a specific item my Secret Pal had on her wish list... what to do? what to do?
Do I wait one more day or do I go ahead and mail? I know as soon as I mail, the darn thing will show up the very next day :roll:
Each day this item is not delivered, her package is getting fuller and fuller with more goodies. The saying "patience is a virtue" is very true for my SP, even though she doesn't know who I have.

But a very lovely pattern for a snowman quilt with birds on his arms. Return address: "Not from your October SP" :D :D :D

I collect them too from all the trips I go on.
Other than my friends little girl I have never know anyone else that collected postcards. I also collect them. I still have the very first one that I bought when I was 10 years old. I also have some very old ones that are black and white from Europe that a very dear friend gave to me.

As you can see by the photos it was my pleasure to oooh and ahhhh over the fabrics - I am a winter sports person, most specifically a skater from way back, and this fabric is perfect!!!! So is the tree patterned fabric. And I have very few solid colors - the one she sent I did not have. One of my UFO's is half sandwiched with safety pins and half with clips, so the clips were really welcomed into my home... I wear out seam rippers with the speed of light and need them all over the house - big and ergonomic is perfect. Postcards from her state for my 50 year old collection..
And last, but not least, I have an amusing story about my lint brush. Bless her heart for sending me a new one. About 4 months ago, I was merrily cleaning the feed dogs and below, but my fingers are stubby and I couldn't get them down into the machine bed as I would have liked. BUT, I tried hard, and bingo, I dropped it. I tried everything to get it out - even picking up the machine and shaking it upside down. But alas and alack, the lint brush disappeared forever and got stuck beneath the mechanisms. Yes, I should take it for service, but it still sews like a dream and I always say, if it ain't broken, don't fix it. Soooo, now I have a new brush, and I HOPE there is not room enough for 2 inside my Brother....
Thanks Juli. I love everything, but that lint brush really made me smile!!!
