Yeah, I'm off the bench,

patience makes it all worthwhile,

will post a pic tonight. Rather your day. LOL {{{HUGS}}} to SIK1010, THANK YOU

:( sorry about the msg's, is the only way i can get them posted. :)

Hey Penny so glad you are off the bench.

finally! are you the last one penny?

Not sure, but i received a great package, have to post a pic tomorrow, as we had the carpets cleaned tonight and have all our furniture packed in through out the house and not sure where he camera was put.

Oh and to let you all know, my package was delayed by customs, there was a notice inside the parcel from Customs advising me that it had been opened and inspected and everything was put back in. So have to confirm with Sarah the contents, incase they kept a chocky or two. LOL. thanks again for a wonderful package. {{{HUGS}}}

You are welcome and I'm glad it wasn't lost. I had a replacement ready to go; just in case, but am happy this box finally turned up.

I found the camera and couldn't wait to show everyone what my Secret Pal sent me. Also in the bottom of the box was the Customs Notice, so tell me Sik1010, did the custom officers enjoy anything of my parcel or can you see everything there. LOL thank you again for my parcel and being so concerned of the whereabouts of it. {{hugs}}}

Looks like they left you all your munchies and that was the important part (lol)! Yes, they let you have everything. Again you are so welcome & I'll notify the "search and rescue" team at the Postal service that we have the package.

Penny what a fabulous package. sik 1010 you did really good.cute trivet. mary

Thanks, Mary, the trivet is something my daughter and I have been playing with. I needed something thick--have lots of cast iron pans and needed heavy duty trivets to protect the table from my dutch ovens. These seem to be doing the trick.

WAnted to post that my box arrived 6/2/2011!
I want to thank quiltylady(Jamie) for the most amazing, tear inspiring package I have even received!
I need to find my camera and get a good shot of my Russian egg, my wonderful new necklace and earrings in my FAVE color, and some fabric that is rockin' cool! The only thing that did not survive was the chocolate...but youngest son put it in the freezer and enjoyed it anyway..hehehe

I do hope you are on the mend Jamie and will be right as rain in no time....after all, the HOLIDAY gift making season is upon us...sigh...

Looks like I may be the lone ranger on the bench. I'll have to bring the little dogs to keep me company. Great package PennyJ.

I received my package today! Some lovely fabrics, butterflies, and a cute little pin-purse. Hopefully I'll be able to take a picture in a bit. Thanks so much to my pal! I think I'm going to have to ask Lori for your sn to thank you myself. :D

quiltyfeelings received her package today also. I also got word that nurse bonnie has received hers. Angels are being dispatched for the remaining people who are on the bench for May

Got my name for June Gotta go shopping lol.Lori do you need more angels i can help,just let me know

Hi Lori,

Any news from my Secret Pal.... I am so worried about the package. It should have arrived two weeks ago!

Hugs

Am I alone on the bench for May?

I am so glad that you liked everything. I had fun putting it together for you. Thanks for being my sp for May.

Nope, I'm still there, too. Packages are having difficulties making to Ohio I guess. :-)

I finally got my computer to download pics from my camera, again! For some reason, it has been giving me grief.

I want to my SP for the "Super Duper" firmy that she sent me. It had so much wonderful stuff in it, that I may run out of words. There was a sewing tote bag, Mary Ellen's Best Press, an awesome egg, a binding holder that she made, a honeysuckle candle (haven't smelled in awhile), a pair of scissors, some bobbins, notebook, banana marshmallow candy (yum), a pretty heart-shaped box with threads and buttons and some appliques that are on the lower part of the bag. NOW! Look at all the fabric!! There are some sizes from 5x5 to larger and will be so awesome for my stash and fq bins. Thank you again FQ Stash Queen for all the awesome stuff. And a great big Thank You for the things you sent along for DGD. She loved it all and was so excited to get.

I was away last week and my squishy was waiting for me when I got home. A big thank-you to Mumzbear. She sent me red/shite and bue fat quarters, a table topper pattern, a quilt pattern, a binding tool and a "buy your own choice of candy" dollar!
Thank-you so much, Mumzbear!

I PM'd both, Mumzbear and Lori.

nice packages.

I wa not able to download pictures from my computer for awhile so could not post picture of my package I got from Lynnie K. I loved everything she sent! Thank you again.

Lori that looks like one fun package.

LADYILENE received her May package some time ago but was unable to post and let anyone know, as she is away from home and has limited internet connection where she is right now.

Wandalou do you hear wings fluttering nearby you?

A LONG overdue proper thank you to my May SP Babkagal Although I did thank her I was not home when the pkg arrived and my son and his wife have been out of town......I was between places so it took me awhile to get it mailed to me so that I could post a picture and see first hand what she had sent to me. And OMG was I in for an awesome surprise today when it arrived. Check out that cute cute Fabric fairy piece. And i know it has been said time and time and time again but I did get something I have BEEN needing to get. The hair clips I need to keep my bangs that I am trying to let grow out off of my face. I was just fussing today about it but had not had time to go get any yet. And wa--la-- I got some. And yes I know I can use them on my quilt bindings too.... :) I have also been wanting to attempt a star pattern and she sent me one, along with 2 quilt magazines I can't wait to have time to sit a browse thru them. The fabrics are great, the M&M's---mmmmm. Love the emery board as well, AND love the dragonfly card with the nice note from her. Oh and the cutest pin cushion, I had left mine at home and was in need of another one, so once again ESP on something from our SP's.

Thanks again sooooo much Babkagal. It is an awesome pkg.

Myrna-very nice package. Love the fabric angel. Hope everyone else gets there swaps soon. Mary

So 3NorwichTerr and wandalou have received their May packges and that closes the book on May, AT LAST!!!

Boy, that took a long time! Thanks, Lori, for your selfless work to keep the swap going. We all appreciate it very much!
