I'm posting the package I sent to my SP. Haven't heard from her yet and I don't believe she has a camera so I'm gonna post it since I happened to remember to take a pic this time around.

Sibi, Love the coffee cut embrodiery on that darling mug rug. So cute!

Yay! I received a fun package from NancyW... actually 2 packages but thank you sooooo much for the chicken block and homespuns!!

Along with the chicken block and pattern, she also sent some beautiful black and red fabrics, a book, a Valentine soap on a stick, DARK CHOCOLATE and a super cool piece of green glassware. I believe it may be an oil/vinegar type bottle. LOVE IT!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Still waiting on one of mine then will post pictures all at once. Have4boys I haven't forgotten you but still running back and forth to hospital plu on top of all this his identy was stolen!!!!!!

Yay, I received my January Secret Pal Swap package today from catpawski. It was filled with such wonderful goodies. You should see the great dog fabrics she included, the Paula Deen things, instructional sheets from Jo-Ann's(we don't have that store here), and other wonderful things. Thank you so much catpawski....it was a super package!!!

That's beautiful, Fayzer. I'm sorry to say it's not mine, though. Have you done anymore drawings lately? How did that show go?

I'm so excited that I can walk without a cane and a knee brace again. It has only been 6 weeks and I'm pretty much healed but knee is still weak. I intend to baby it forever, I guess. Still, I was able to get back on the treadmill and walk a mile (although not briskly) after work today. Maybe I overdid it, though. Guess I'll find out tomorrow.

Verna - Your drive home sounds like a nightmare!! OMG, I just can't imagine how ill you were. So far I have avoided it despite the people at work coughing for weeks. Keep getting stronger, OK?

Quiltymom - When it rains, it pours. So sorry to hear about all the problems you are going through, and now identity theft... It's so sad. Good luck with everything and hope your world gets back to normal soon.

Krystyna - Your world, too, although it sounds as if you still have a long road ahead. Wish we could help you out with all or your bureaucratic, incomprehensible paperwork.

To all of you in the ice age areas - Stay warm and don't leave the house unless you really have to. Now THAT probably goes without saying, ya think?

PS - I guess I'll be 36 this year. Yipes...

That's beautiful, Fayzer. I'm sorry to say it's not mine, though. Have you done anymore drawings lately? How did that show go?[/QUOTE]

Sharon, The show went great. I sold one original but sad to say nothing else except note cards have sold. I am optomistic though. I have donated a print of the fishing rods and reels to a big auction for our city's museum. Hopefully that will get me some recognition as that is a big deal in Destin. I have been sewing too much to paint right now. I have a quilt I have to finish for a quilt show in February. Thanks for asking

SharonAnne so glad to hear you're doing better. Sure makes life easier to be able to get around better don't you think? Don't overdue, just take it little steps at a time and you'll get back to your old self speedy quick!

Verna I think I had what you did! Vomiting and diarrah just wanted to lay down on floor in bathroom and die. Started getting sick on the way home on the train Friday by the time I got home on Saturday was pretty sick.On to better things..... I got my sp package today from Shawnna in Tx, she could have sent some warm weather! Just Kidding. She sent me some beautiful FQs in blues ( I love blue) She also sent me some yardage of cat fabric for my quilt I am making. I got a cute blue pin cushion, a bar of dark chocolate and a jigsaw puzzle. Thank you so much I really loved everything. Will take a picture on new camera and try to download.
