The view from your hotel is amazing. I hope you and DH are having the time of your life.

I've been down for the past week with my Crohn's. I went to see a rheumatologist yesterday. She was wonderful. Very gentle and kind. She really listened as well. The best part is that I left her office with hardly any limp from my right hip. She figured out that I had bursitis and gave me and injection that took away a lot of the pain. I have been limping from the pain in my right hip for almost 20 years.

Dear SP, I have done the shopping for your package. I'm hoping to be able to make something for you as well before I send it.

lauriejo lucky you with the first package. It looks wonderful.

PeginCO 05-10-2014 01:48 PM

Package finished up today and ready to mail Monday! You like homemade things, sp, so you can expect a couple such goodies. And your candy is coming, though I admit it was hard to find!!

Received my SP Package today from SSnare ( Sherry) Needles, 3 Children's FQ 2 little Christmas small pictures, $5 GC for Starbucks... Thank you Sherry

Ladybug 1938 05-10-2014 05:36 PM

For all who have asked John is doing well, will know his results on Thursday, me?? I'm still hanging in there and Gail's Son Michael is in good hands in Birmingham AL... Gail is still very unsettled but she will be fine, going to the doctor this next week and hopefully get some help for her neck pain... Thanks all for asking.... God Bless you all..

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mom's Gram's and Aunts... and wanna be's...

luvstoquilt 05-11-2014 06:41 AM

Ladybug just want to say I am thinking of you, John, Gail and her son Michael. I hope all news will be good!

Happy Mother's Day everyone! I am celebrating with my grandchildren. What a fun and busy weekend with these two. Gabi is almost 9 and Zach is almost 11. I had forgotten what it was like to "Live" in my car....ball games, horseback riding lessons, lunch, dinner,etc. Mike (son) and Joanna (best DIL in the world) will be back today..they participated in a 10 mile mud race..sounds really terrible to me but I can't wait to hear their stories.

Well, SP, your package left the local PO yesterday and should get to you on Tuesday. Hard to believe since you are just about 402 miles away! I could have brought it to you much faster! MapQuest says it should take about 7 hrs. to drive from my driveway to yours! Your town is small only about 2000 population. Do you know who you are? Your zip adds to 28 or as Krystyna would add it would be 10 or 1..go figure!

reeskylr 05-11-2014 08:29 AM

Happy Mom's Day all!! Furkid or real kid!

verna2197 05-12-2014 03:32 AM

Hey Sps I mailed your packages on the 9th, so you should be getting them today. Hope you enjoy them.

quiltnut4ever 05-12-2014 04:26 AM

Thought I'd pop in. Hope everyone had a great mother's day. I was very surprised with mine. My fiancée blindfolded me to take me to a fancy Italian Restaurant or I thought...He guided me through the "restaurant" of some wonderful smelling food, sat down and when the blindfold was taken off I WAS IN MY DAUGHTER'S HOUSE!!! She and her fiancée cooked their hearts out for me and I couldn't stop crying and laughing. They got me good. Starting to see pkgs coming in so that's great. I'm headed off now to my MRI. Hope everyone has a great day!

Ladybug 1938 05-12-2014 03:11 PM

SP Your package is already to give to the postman or take to the PO... Which ever comes first tomorrow... You have two more of something then I have and lots more of another and as I said before I have had you before and I don't think it was to long ago... Sent you a frog...LOL

reeskylr, been waiting to find out your board name. If you are Pam, then yes I did. It came from connecting threads on Saturday but only had your "real" name on the invoice. Thank you so much the 2 FQ's, they will go in my stash very nicely and I'm sure I can find a use for the 20 pack of mirage charms. I love their mirage fabrics. Thank you again[ATTACH=CONFIG]475394[/ATTACH]

Oh Linda....she (I) loved it. I am so sorry to be so tardy posting! I have no real excuse...except that I'm a space-shot! [ATTACH=CONFIG]475438[/ATTACH]
I love the pincushion and scrap bag! I have read the Jennifer Chiverrini book, but I can let someone else read it! I didn't get it very well in the picture, but there is an excellent little brush in there to clean my bobbin area...cute scissorrs...scraps of black and fat quarters of my favorite color!:)

Will be getting my package sent hopefully tomorrow. Probably could have mailed it Monday but I was relaxing on Sun. and didn't get revved up on Monday after work. Tonight I should have the energy and mindset get it together. SP we share something in common, something listed in the survey for Lori.

catjo 05-13-2014 03:11 PM

I mailed my SP's package today. I have had her before, and this package is going way West of me. Expected delivery Thurs 5/15, which I cannot believe it will make it there that quickly. I am thinking more like Saturday. Let's see if the post is correct on their expectation date. lol

catjo 05-13-2014 03:18 PM

I haven't been on much as I am trying to put together a Direct Sales fundraiser for our Quilts for Kids Chapter. Been a lot more work then I anticipated that is for sure. I just hope we get some support to help fund us, especially for all the effort that is being put into this.

I am praying for everyone that is ill, or has someone ill in their family. I wish the best for all.

Looking forward to seeing more pictures of packages.

Grandma Peg 05-13-2014 03:28 PM

My package was mailed today to a city that had a population of 2,850 from the census of 2010 (that was the newest I saw online). Have had you before.

PeginCO 05-13-2014 03:44 PM

And mine was mailed yesterday with Thursday delivery! Seems like a long time since you aren't terribly far from me! Hint: we have some things in common and we both frequent another thread here...

grammyj 05-13-2014 04:50 PM

My spal box is on it's way west,several states from me. Hope she likes every thing, didn't get to make much I've been taking care of sick hubby.

Lori Peercy 05-13-2014 04:57 PM

Is anyone else having trouble when they try to type a private message? I can not copy and paste either. Sometimes I have to press the key down 3 or 4 times and space bar won't work right. I spent the $ to buy new computer and still having problems

One of you have an embroidery machine and the other one doesn't, your embroidery machine is the same brand as mine, but not sure which one you have. One of you have animals and the other one doesn't. One of you have a sewing machine that I keep looking at and drool over. Hope I didn't give to much away.

HEE-HEE...........Verna I should have figured out that you had my name for May. Your clues are perfect. Thank you again for everything
:D :D :D :D

luvstoquilt 05-13-2014 08:05 PM

LindaR I am so glad you got the package and liked what I sent. I simply love the Primitive Quilt magazine so I got one for you, too. I subscribe and can't wait for it to arrive..it is only a 4 time a year magazine..seems like it takes forever for a new one to hit my mailbox. I saw them at my LQS and decided you should have one! If it is not to your liking feel free to pass it on. Sharon

Lori I have had those problems but thought it was probably just ME.

homecaregiver 05-13-2014 08:08 PM

I mailed my SP's package early this morning and it is going across the ocean. I know the deadline to mail international was the 10th but had a lot going on this weekend. Whew postage is getting so expensive these days, maybe we should go back to Pony Express. Well maybe not LOL. To the recipient of this SP package, I hope you enjoy "the goodies" I selected for you. Sorry Lori for being late in getting my package sent.
Pat

verna2197 05-13-2014 08:37 PM

Sulabug I am so happy that you like everything and Happy May Birthday. Enjoy! Told my DH that he should make the ruler board to sell.

Ladybug 1938 05-14-2014 05:13 AM

Lori I don't know if it's just window's 8 that is doing the missing letters etc... or an update...Maybe Patrice can do something for us...

Nancy in Louisiana 05-14-2014 05:24 AM

I'm.stuck in Houston for a little longer than I had planned. So, SP, your package (which is back home in LA) will be mailed out just a couple days past the 16th deadline. Sorry. Poor planning on my part. I promise to will be there before the end of the month for sure

Quercus Rubra 05-14-2014 10:45 AM

Dear Sercret Pal.... I sent your package out today and it's going West. It is going to be there Friday - which is faster than the pony express could have done it. We have something in common in one thing but I don't care for the other one. I don't think You have had me before & I know I haven't had your name. I picked a wide range of things from your list to give ya lots of goodies to ohh & ahh over. Well I'm off and dashing......
