I got another card w/candies from Jarenie I think that is the last. Thanks!

I know I am the quite one on this list, and never post much. But as I take my leave from the Birthday-Swap I just want to say thank you to everyone for all the great candies. I have been in this swap for four years, so have traded with many of you for several years. For some of you it was our first year together.

I also want to thank our wonderful Hostess Barb for all she does in keeping this group running so smoothly. She is truly the hostess with the mostess.

I need to make up those fun and wonderful little candies into something, and I actually do have a few patterns in mind. When I actually get something completed I will be sure to pop in to say hi show you what I have made with all the goodies I have received from you all over the years.

My reason for leaving is that I do not feel I have the time to commit to the group right now. I actually purchased my own quilt shop.

I do plan to hang out on the board, and maybe post once in awhile. I also plan on still being the Hostess of the Ornament Swap in 2019. I enjoy hostessing that event.

Thank you everyone for all the fun times and great memories. I actually have all my birthday cards saved from over the years. It is kinda fun to get them out once and a while and look at them.

Anoka: You will be missed in our swap.
Congraulations for purchasing a quilt shop. I wish I lived closer so I could be one of your customers.
I will be part of the ornament swap again this year.

Anoka, A quilt shop! That sounds like so much fun. What is the name of your shop and are you going to be online?

Anika sorry to see you go ...please post some pictures of your finished product that you make with your candy squares on the new birthday thread.
