ctyankee, think of it like the office birthday. The person who had the last birthday makes the 'cake' for the next birthday person. Ends up being the last person of the 'year' makes for the first person next year. Follow?

All you need to do is post the list of names. Each person makes for the person immediately after their name, the last name makes for the person at the top of the list. Pretty easy, really.

And at the end of the day, if you don't like the idea, I'm always good for a second swappie ��

best,
deb in Maine

LOL... Are we giving you too much help, ctyankee?

ctyankee 08-01-2015 03:48 AM

LOL -- I understand how it works, truly I do, but the way I figure it, with this many people & everyone used to doing it a certain way, somewhere along the way someone will be preoccupied & send to the wrong person! (Just hope it wouldn't be me!)

But someone volunteered to do 2 this month, so we're all set. Whew! That was a close one! :)

Hi Guys,

Yes, we are so lucky that Lavender grows so well in our garden..... but it is really all down to DH, he is a wonderful gardener.... here is a picture of just one small patch that we have.... that I have already harvested from!

Hugs

Caroline

ctyankee 08-03-2015 01:16 PM

Nice, Caroline! Mine does not look like that! I have very few flowers. I only ever had one lavender plant come back for maybe 3 years & then nothing. This year I have one plant from last year & 2 new ones. I keep trying!

dee1245 08-03-2015 04:33 PM

One more pix to show up. I left for vacation before mine was received. I am hoping my partner can post a picture for me, since I probably won't be home for at least another week.

This is the great package from Omacookie that I just received! I love the fabric swatch saver! I am forever running back to the store for more fabric and can't find my cut bit when I get there! I will be a huge helper! Love the colorful mug rug also, the size is perfect, just fits the top of my chairside table! Thank you again!

This mug rug by Jacie reminds me of my recent trip to Alameda and the San Francisco Bay. So you get treated to a family pic! Thank you dear swapping friend.

Crqltr 08-10-2015 01:24 PM

That's a beach fabric I haven't seen before..love it!

lynnie 08-10-2015 01:29 PM

Dotty, LOVE your beachy mugrug and your photo. so summery

ctyankee 08-10-2015 03:05 PM

Dotty -- that's a wonderful mug rug from Jacie! She did a great job on that.

And the photo -- where was that taken? It reminds me of some places along the Connecticut shoreline. Beautiful!

sewbizgirl 08-10-2015 07:01 PM

That's a really cute mug rug, Jacie. Looks like my kind of 'summer fun'... a comfy chair to curl up in and read a good book!

jaba 08-11-2015 04:48 AM

Love that fabric. Looks like a nice vacation spot!!

dotcomdtcm 08-11-2015 04:55 AM

The photo is of San Francisco Bay between Alameda & Oakland. DD has moved there and met someone special.

ctyankee 08-11-2015 04:57 AM

Ooh! I've always wanted to see San Francisco! Maybe someday ...

dfelker 08-11-2015 09:52 AM

[ATTACH=CONFIG]527546[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]527547[/ATTACH] I am now able to post photos of the swap I received from Lizzytish while I was on vacation. I just got home last evening. She made a reversible Mug Rug; the 1st side is strawberries and ice cream bars and the 2nd side is fishies. She also mad a pincushion from hexies and even included pins and a needle. She is very talented. I have not tackled hexies yet. Also enclosed was a nice pad for grocery lists. Thanks so much for the wonderful swap, Lizzytish. I am sorry that I could not post before now.

Lizzytish 08-11-2015 06:29 PM

You are very welcome. Dee.
