Lori, I'm confused. Does the received column mean when we receive a package or when our SP got hers?
My SP did get hers, but didn't post here.

Good morning y'all.

Diana, you are so cute :) I hope your mail lady brings you a big box today :)

Krystyna, the received next to your name is whether you received a package or not. Your SPs will be right next to her name.

Lori, all of my information is correct. However, I did notice a couple of people posting on here they got or sent packages and I don't see a date next to their date, I am wondering if they forgot to PM you.

Interestingly enough, one of my SPs PMed Lori that she got a package, but I never heard from her...I hope she liked what I sent her.

Buckwheat hull "filler" and pillows
 
I just ordered a buckwheat hull pillow (they are HEAVY).
My husband and youngest daughter both LOVE their pillows.
I was real hesitant about getting one because they weigh
so darn much (about 15 pounds). But I tried my hubs pillow
last summer while he was in St. Louise for job training and
I liked how it helped give my neck the support it needs (I
have had 2 neck surgeries and need extra support).

Saw where I could buy the buckwheat hulls by the pound
so I bought 5 pounds and I want to "TRY" them in some
pin cushions to see how well they help weigh them down
so that they don't "slide" away.

This will be interesting to see. So I hope this works out the
way I have in mind, if it does I may be making LOTS of weighted
pincushions, if not than I guess my new pillow is going to weigh
20 pounds LOL.

I got my package.........actually it's been here for awhile and I didn't even know it.

It was left at out front door, and we don't use our front door, we go in & out the garage since we park in the garage. Plus it was covered up by leaves that blew in. I din't know it had been delivered until a PM was sent to me @ it. Our normal post master leaves a sticky note on the front door when we have something so we will check out front. Normally we also check out front every 3-4 days, 'just in case'. I guess we must of checked on it before it was left and not until now. I feel so bad that my SS thought I hadn't bothered to post @ the package or that I was being rude and hurt her feelings. That was not the case. However in the future I will be sure and check the front porch more often especially when I am expecting something. Maybe too I will make a note on my SS info page to please send me a PM when you mail the package out so this won't happen again. I think that may be best.

Okay, enough @ that, Now about the package. It was sent by a new member, Jaunty Melissa, And she did an AWESOME job! SHe set the bar high this first time!!! I LOVE IT ALL!! She made me a sewing machine cover iin my favorite colors which is GREAT!! and I love the fact that it has my name on it too! She sent 2 "T" bone treats for my baby. I appreciate the magazine, and the rose material will be perfect in the Baltimore quilt I am working on. I will definately use it in the quit too! She made me a scarf/collar , it's in my favorite colors! Thank you. Melissa did such an AWESOME job on her first 'SS Swap. I am very happy with everything and am sure that all her future SS will be too!! :)

In June, we are going to Michigan and Wisconsin for 3 weeks. Just recently, I found I spy cards. I didn't even know they made those. Shane and Owen are really into I spy quilts right now and they like looking on the streets for things that on are their quilt, so I bought some, for them to play when we travel to there. Its going to take us about 4 days to get there. There is 4 pictures on every card. Its also is a regular deck of cards so you can play card games while traveling too.

So far the job is going well. But I am learning FAST to make a

seeing (I work for the E470 (toll road services in Denver).

Thanks for asking about it.
