Good morning. I've begun leaving feedback for everyone from whom I've received a package. It'll take me a couple of days to do them all. I've received 33 but it looks like MIQuilt's will arrive today as I've gotten a pic of her envelope in today's USPS Informed Delivery notice. Woo hoo! That means I'm only missing 2, Jarenie's and TexasTam's. Fingers remained crossed they show up soon. Barb, I'll continue to update if any more come in. Thank you!

I received two today, from Miquilt and TexasTam. Thank you!!! That makes 35 so only Jarenie's is left to arrive. Woo hoo!

I received from PinkFlowers today!! Happy Birthday to me (still)!!! Thank you. That makes 35/36 :D

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.
Barb

So I noticed in my being under the weather last week....I missed a very important birthday. I am so sorry Janice McC.

I sincerely hope that your birthday was a great day. She has to wait allllllll year lllloooonnnnggg watching all of us open our packages. She is a very patient women and has been a great friend to me.

Happy Birthday Janice<3

I sent all the on time swappers to Oldcatlady...now she is going to pick a winner for the prize she is sending out.

Please post it on this thread Oldcatlady.

Hello,

Another year has ended and we've started another already! Time sure does fly by! I put all the names that Barb gave me in a hat and picked one. jaba is the winner!!! Yahoo! jaba, I'm sending a package your way. Should I send it to Florida or west? :)

Oldcatlady your mailbox is full

Barb, I cleaned it out, sorry about that!

Woopie!!!! So excited, what a way to start the new year of candies. Thank you so much for your generosity and for picking my name:) Will let you know when it arrives, please send to Florida address. We are in no hurry to go back to Wyoming and the snow and below zero temps....At this rate we may be in Florida until May

My pleasure, jaba. It was just a fun swap for me and wanted to show my appreciation.

Dropped off your package, should be there on Tuesday. Here's the tracking number

9500 1132 8606 9061 1441 70

:)

It's absolutely ok, Barb! I appreciate your kind words. :) It was a quiet but very pleasant birthday. Thank you.

FYI, Jarenie's package arrived today, or at least it was photographed by USPS Informed Delivery as arriving today. I'm out of town but DH will pick it up for me. Thank you, Jarenie. That makes 100 percent received. Wow. Thanks to everyone!

oldcatlady your appreciation was my lucky day!! Thank you so much for your generosity, above and beyond. Perfect colors of your fabric choices, thread and the mini tumbler. I have to tell you I have a machine in Wyoming that has a very fickle 1/4" on it so think this magnetic one may do the trick. Now I have to think of a very special project for these goodies.
I tried to send you a private PM but your box is full so I truly hope you see this. Thank you again so much, very appreciated!![ATTACH=CONFIG]609791[/ATTACH]

Congrats on purchasing a Quilt Shop. I am so excited to hear about it since I am only about 2 1/2 hours away from Anoka. Is it a storefront or on-line?

You're welcome jaba. :) I'm glad it made it to you.
