Mailed mine out today mmonohon from the main post office. I swear they just try hard to make it impossible to send things anymore. What a grump she was, questioned every dang thing I asked her to do! No matter, it is on the way with confirmation for both ways attached. And the extra postage is on the return envelope for the confirmation slip.

Thanks Red. I am not looking forward to training a new PO after our move. I think I will wait until the next swap for that. We are keeping this PO Box for a while since our son is still in Tacoma.

I guess I am lucky. Whatever PO I have used, they have been more than willing to help me.

Received several packages today. Thanks to: everose, MaryLane, sacoons, dconroy84, QuiltNovice, and bbemerald. Approximately half way. Keep em coming.

Oh good! I was worried. Now for the return trip.

Mine went in the mail on Wednesday, and the PO said it would take about a week. I had planned to mail them earlier, but had an attack of vertigo, and wasn't up to driving for over a week. I wasn't about to ask DH to mail them, because the last time I did, he kept forgetting.

Mailed mine out today. Thanks again, Michelle, for hostessing this swap.

Mine are cut and ready to mail, but it will be Monday before my PO opens again. I meant to get them out this morning, but I overslept. I've had them ready to mail out last week, but my son was in a bad car accident last weekend, and he broke his pelvis and his shoulder. He is in a wheelchair they said for about 12 weeks. But, at least he's alive you know? He's completely immovable, has to use a bedpan, etc, so I've been really busy with him.

And now for some good news, I'm going to have another grandbaby! My son and his fiancee are expecting another baby! The first one is only 6 months old,so they will have their hands full. I need to join the next swap now, I'll have to make another quilt now!

My daughter in law LOOOOVES frogs. She would love this for her babies. Maybe you and I can do some thing where we send each all the frogs we find? I'll pm you!

Tomorrow I plan on going to a garage/estate sale that has quilting fabric...........hoping there is some good I spy fabrics........even if they are small pieces I like to get them cut them up ...and add more 5 inch squares to my stash...........variety is the spice of life.....................they also are great for making I spy packages for fellow quilters............for the secret pal swap..........Thank you gifts................etc....etc........

Some day I hope to collect enough frog I spy squares to do a whole quilt without using the same fabric...............I wonder if it is possible.......so in the future if you seem to get a lot of frog squares you can blame it on me..........I just got a good buy on ESTY for a yard of frog fabric...........

Anyways wish me luck tomorrow..................:thumbup:
