That is ok. We celebrate birthday month in our house, so it is nice to get another present.

Thanks for the photos, LogCabin82. it is always such fun to get a sneak peek and to enjoy the joy of other's presents.

Watch for a PM from me on the 20th...........Another group of three for the month of May!

ibex94 04-18-2022 02:12 PM

What a wonderful assortment! I can't wait for my birthday to get here! Thank you for the pictures LogCabin!!

WMUTeach 04-18-2022 04:06 PM

I got a list from Logcabin82 of swappers who had successfully sent packages for her birthday this past Saturday.
I will give it a couple more days for holiday delivery delays then late messages will be sent.

I'll double check sent messages this evening when I am "off work". This just let's us know how important it is to post a message here when you send your squishy packages.

Logcabin82 let us know here on our Birthday Swap Thread if you get more little birthday wishes in the mail today! We don't want you to miss out on birthday presents. https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/smile.png

Yes, thank you LogCabin82.

I don’t see my name as received, but I think she posted my name on the 8th.

I just finished a recheck of sent and receive packages and it looks like all were sent and received. Yea!

Here is an example of a quilt that uses 2.5s. A baby quilt made in 2015.

sewbizgirl 04-19-2022 08:10 PM

What a sweet blankie! Love the yellow and dark red together. Thanks for the idea, WMUTEACH.

Loveofquilts 04-20-2022 12:40 AM

Yes great idea on the baby quilt. Thanks WMUTeach!

It all started with the yellow print that just needed to be put to use. The red and white were in my stash and ta-da a baby quilt was "born" that would last through the early years of quilt dragging and snuggling.

WMUTeach 04-20-2022 04:02 PM

The May birthday list was sent this evening. If you did not receive a list, please let me know ASAP. Enjoy the evening and the rest of the week.

sewbizgirl 04-20-2022 07:12 PM

Got my May birthday names! Yay!

JENNR8R 04-21-2022 06:04 AM

The May birthday cards are on their way to the post office. Hope you ladies enjoy your "May Flowers" birthday month.

travelinggramma 04-21-2022 06:41 AM

Dropped off the candy cards on my walk past the post office. Nice to have it close by!

Loveofquilts 04-21-2022 02:00 PM

Just put all 3 envelopes with candies into the mail box. Yeah!

Patrick's Mom 04-21-2022 05:33 PM

May birthday candies were mailed today and should arrive early next week. Happy birthday!!

NZquilter 04-22-2022 03:49 AM

I mailed our May birthday girls' envelopes out yesterday.

We didn't get much April showers, so I'm hoping we don't miss out on the May flowers too. Maybe we can combine the showers and flowers into one month. 😁

WMUTeach 04-22-2022 04:05 AM

Put my envelopes in the mailbox yesterday,

Today is spring, tomorrow is summer 80 degrees, Sunday back to spring and Monday, winter will be knocking at the door.....again. The bright spot during this silly weather week was what looked to be the first outing of a Canadian goose family, mom, dad and 6 little fuzzy yellow and grey puff balls. Waiting for the Sandhill cranes and baby bunnies. Are you seeing signs of spring?

sewbizgirl 04-22-2022 06:32 AM

Mailing my 3 cards today!

Gaijin 04-22-2022 01:34 PM

I mailed my candies out today!

ibex94 04-22-2022 03:31 PM

May bday candies mailed out on Thursday (yesterday). Happy Earth Day everyone.

IrishMom 04-23-2022 04:03 PM

I received my first Birthday envelope from our fabulous leader - WMU.

Also, Easter was an exciting time for our family. Our oldest daughter got engaged!!! It should be a fun journey. Any advice anyone has for this Mother of the Bride would be appreciated.

Crispy_Frog 04-23-2022 05:32 PM

Mailed all 3 May birthdays today!

ibex94 04-24-2022 07:12 AM

IrishMom - congrats! Start shopping for a dress now. Ask your daughter what color she wants you in. And have fun!!

sewbizgirl 04-24-2022 11:05 AM

Congrats, Irish! Hope it's all a great experience for your family.

WMUTeach 04-24-2022 05:32 PM

Advice for the mother of the bride. Yes, find out what you daughter wants.. Set boundaries of what she wants you to do to help or to just advise her with. Follow her lead. Don't take on so much you can't enjoy the fun of the day too!

One thing you would do now, it fits every bride/groom and every season....I bought a pretty box and started filling it with emergency items. Everything from needle and thread, black and white, scotch tape, tiny scissors, band aids, water, a white napkin so the bride/groom can have a protein snack and not shed crumbs down their front, gum, safety pins, clear nail polish, hair spray, tissues, baby powder.......you'll think of things between now and THE day. Each one of my children made use of what was in their Emergency box. It felt so good to tell them, sweetly of course, "Take a breath, I got this one covered, Relax. we will have your ready to walk the aisle in just a few minutes. I mended torn attendant's hems, bloody noses, fingers that got poked by floral wire, powdered feet that were swollen from the heat and a few more I can't remember. It was a last service to my child on their special day.

IrishMom 04-24-2022 06:49 PM

WMU - that's a great idea! And what fun to decorate a box. And I like what you said about it being "a last service" while they are still yours. Now you've made me teary!

ibex94 - I'm looking forward to the dress shopping. My best friend has had two daughter's marry in 11 months and dress shopping with her was a nice "her" moment.

Macybaby 04-25-2022 08:51 AM

sent my candies off today

And I recieved one over the weekend - from Patrick's Mom
