SP expect your package to be delivered on August the 10th (Friday) I hope that you really like what I put together for you.

Texastam 08-07-2018 10:23 AM

My SP likes to read and lives a couple of states from me.

BrendaK 08-07-2018 05:40 PM

My sp lives in the same state as my sister. Oh sorry, I forgot I never told you where my sister lives. Beautiful state.

Well here I was all prissy and sassy about how quickly I was able to order my pal's presents. And. The post master only delivered ONE of the TWO. Now I sit and wait staring forlornly at the mailbox impatiently waiting for her second item to arrive so I can mail out. And now everyone else will be receiving theirs before I can even mail! Sheesh!!

But, on to the clues. My pal's state used to be called the Grizzly Bear State. But supposedly there aren't any of them left there! :shock:

Well SP you should receive your package Friday, August 10th. Hope you can use what's inside.

redstilettos 08-09-2018 03:28 AM

Hm....well. I've been on a buying frenzy the last week or so, and have had packages delivered off and on all week. However, I received two beautiful fabrics, I do not recall buying.

Hm....could this be from a secret pal? :)

hav4boys 08-09-2018 07:49 AM

We are off to a great start. Just so everyone knows, I am on vacation Saturday to Saturday. I will be in Vegas at a firearms training facility for the week. Hold the fort down for me!

redstilettos 08-09-2018 08:40 AM

hav4: have a great time, may I ask if this is for pleasure? Heaven help the person who goes up against a woman who sews AND shoots! LOL

That sounds like fun. Enjoy!

Texastam 08-09-2018 12:46 PM

I just about have everything that needs to go in my SP package. I should have it out tomorrow or Saturday in the mail. I hope she likes what is in the package!!!

My SP does not live on the west coast.

Pamela-What a fantastic package you received from Kwyltoholic!!!!

Mary Christine 08-09-2018 05:35 PM

I received a wonderful package today from my SP Armylady. Thank you! I got some beautiful Civil War repro fabrics and a pattern to make with them - love, love, love it! And some embroidery thread, a color chart and needles; thread snips; and more thread.[ATTACH=CONFIG]599238[/ATTACH]

I think I have everything for my SP's package, but probably won't get to the Post Office until Monday. I'm volunteering at a Civil War re-enactment all weekend - should be fun! By the way, SP, 279 soldiers from your county gave their lives during the Civil War.

frsur33 08-09-2018 07:54 PM

I finished shopping today!! Will be sending out the package to my SP soon!!

Clue: My town is 2.17 times larger than yours ... It is currently 74 degrees in your town.

Mary I am so happy that you like it all, it got to you really fast, enjoy yourself at the Civil War re-enactment this weekend, Have you ever been to the Shiloh national Park there are all kinds of sites about the war there.

quiltingdragon 08-10-2018 06:04 AM

The item I ordered for my SP should arrive today, which means a quick trip to Joann's after work today and then I can put my package in the mail.

Annaquilts 08-10-2018 06:48 AM

Ok SP I mailed off your package today :thumbup: So since you live only a couple of states away it says expected delivery 8/14. So keep your eyes peeled for the mail truck. I also took pictures of what I sent so if you are unable to post pictures I can if you need me to.
Happy Sewing everyone !!!

redstilettos 08-11-2018 05:17 PM

I think I have Everything for your package now. But I think I need a bigger padded envelope LOL

Your hint. Hm. Your canning season is exponentially longer than my own.

LAQUITA 08-11-2018 07:16 PM

According to tracking my SS should of received her pkg Friday. Did you get it. Huh? Huh? Did ya? Lol. I know weekend are crazy and I sometimes can't post till I say myself. Have a good weekend everyone!

immemother 08-12-2018 05:58 PM

My poor SP, you'll have to wait for your parcel, Mr Postman said it will take about 10-14 days to make it to you.

Well...I was wrong. When I started putting it all together, I realized one of your items I thought was arrived, was actually something I had ordered for myself. In looking at the tracking it should be here by tomorrow at the latest. I will have everything ready to ship out, so it will still make it by the deadline.

I'm thinking you probably know who you are by now, with others posting their packages, which are wonderful by the way!

Your hint, however, is: The Apple computer, Barbie doll, theme park (Disneyland), Frisbee, blue jeans and Fortune cookie are only a few of many things invented in your state.

PamelaOry 08-13-2018 11:04 AM

Sp, your package is on its way.... it has a looooong way to go yet!

Mary Christine 08-13-2018 05:29 PM

I couldn't agree more. Love the fabrics and can't wait to make a stab at the pattern!
