And it arrived! What a dreary day here too, so I'm glad to see it in the mail. Jane made sure I had a buncha goodies too! The fQ's are beautiful and what an array of colors. I especially love the butterflies, I am working on a crayon wonky birdhouses and I can fussy cut a few of those for the trees.
I love the zippered pouch and needed one for my purse, it'll go right next to the snap it one I received in a SP box awhile ago. The note pad is adorable and I can use the quarter inch tape. Thanks much for the magazines, I don't have either one. The seeds are beautiful and will go into the ground on a less rainy day. The thread is great, aurifil is one I don't get too use very often. I love it all, even the teeny paper piece project and the tea pot. Paper piecing challenges me and sometimes I need that :)

Krystyna, wonderful wedding pictures. Thanks for sharing. Really like your dress.
Still waiting for my package.

Knitette 05-15-2013 11:42 AM

Krystyna - the photos are great and you look wonderful - so chic!

Nancy in Louisiana - your comment about the dancing hippos cracked me up - ROFL every time the image pops into my head!!!! Would love to see that photo, lol.

As promised, here's my photo of the wonderful package received from quiltymom. Look at all the goodies!!! The potholder with matching coasters, different recipe books (I enjoy cooking and baking), the wonderful butterfly suncatcher that I will hang on the curtain rod just over my computer. Notice the cellophane bag with the rolled up things inside. They are small squares of rolled up fabrics that she rolled up with cellophane and gold twist ties....just so creative!!! Great package, quiltymom.....thank you so much!!!

leiladylei54 05-15-2013 11:56 AM

Great wedding photos Krystyna.....love your dress. Just beautiful!!!

I can't believe it is taking so long for my pal to get her package!

Belfrybat 05-15-2013 12:51 PM

Lovely packages, everyone. Now, there are two of you who are getting ready to move over to the "the bench" -- don't do it. I had to wait for something I ordered to arrive (the downfall of living in a small rural community). I am stuffing the packages today and will mail tomorrow. So, don't panic -- good things are on their way to someone in the NE who asked for a specific colour of fabric, has dogs, and likes batiks, coffee and chocolate. Another package will be winging its way to someone in the the Midwest who doesn't post very much, has a cat, likes to read and had no preferences of fabric colour or notions. I think the wait will be worth it.

lawsonmugs 05-15-2013 01:17 PM

Great packages everyone. Love seeing them. Krystyna nice pictures. Everyone looks so nice and happy.

I am so totally spoiled by Krystyna. Look what was waiting for me when I got back from my mother's today! French blue fabric (enough to make a quilt or two), fun fabric squares, WOOL,note pad...so cute,chocolate orange peel candy, black bear licorice (notice it is open..yep..I did that and am still licking my lips!),quilt books, a really great note, earrings made by Krystyna...adorable and will certainly wear them and a book that is pretty scary..I read the back cover and I know it will be hard to put down though it appears to be terrifying...non-fiction by a Friend of Medjugorje "They Fired the First Shot 2012". Please carefully look at the pictures I feel like I have left out some things...I really can't wait to go back downstairs and go through it all again. Thank you so much Krystyna...I hope I get your name soon. Sharon

Krystyna 05-15-2013 01:37 PM

Thanks all for the nice compliments! SP your package was delivered. Hope you like what was in it!
I got a box today and got excited ... but nope. It was a lace delivery.

Krystyna 05-15-2013 01:41 PM

Ha ha! I think we were posting at the same time, Sharon! Sorry, but I didn't send you any gin. I wanted you to be able to sew a straight seam! I don't know if you noticed, but your fabric packet is Michael Miller which you said was your favorite line ... thankfully it didn't have too much PURPLE!!!

luvstoquilt 05-15-2013 02:16 PM

Hav4boys..my heart goes out to you and your family!

It is okay Krystyna...I am well stocked! Did forget to mention the coffee you sent, too. I didn't really unfold any of the fabric...just sort of "sprawled" the wool so everyone could get an idea of all of the colors. I am about to go play with my package now...I had so much catching up to do and missed so much...I really must buy an I-Pad...I am spending a lot of time with my mother. She seems pretty well but Hospice is one scary word. I hate to say I have had several experiences with Hospice...my DH and my precious FIL...all very comforting so I can't complain and mom is 95!

I do love Michael Miller...sews so nicely!!!! Thanks again so much...you made my tears simply dry up!

By the way, great wedding pictures...you and your DH look very nice!

quiltnut4ever 05-15-2013 02:36 PM

Hav4boys you are quite welcome. I'm glad you liked everything and hope that you enjoy it. Krystyna, you and your husband look very elegant my dear and don't fuss, your dress is wonderful...YOU ARE WONDERFUL! Nice seeing all the pkgs. coming in and I have lots of ideas for the June swap!

queenof2802 05-15-2013 03:30 PM

Rats, I forgot to post my pictures last night. I did upload the picture to my laptop, but the quality of it is HORRIBLE. I do not want to thank my SP using a bad picture. I promise when I get home from church I WILL take a new photo and thank her properly. She did an amazing job and pegged me well!

As promised, here are the pics of the awesome bunch of goodies Homecaregiver (Patsy) sent me. Thanks again Patsy, I love it all!! The last pic is a table runner/wall hanging which actually looks quite nice on my chair! :-)

Sibi 05-15-2013 05:34 PM

Krystyna...love your wedding pics, your daughter looks so happy and beautiful. The blue color used for the wedding party is so pretty. You and hubby look great and happy too! Looks like it was truly a happy and fun event.

For those of you who are interested, I uploaded a few wedding pix here

You were beautiful for the wedding and hubby was quite handsome. The bridal couple stacked up fairly well too :).

brenda21 05-15-2013 07:37 PM

oooohhhh pretty table/chair runner!

Bilben 05-15-2013 07:51 PM

fayzer, if I am your SP (and I think I am...?), then mail can take an extra few days to get here no matter what the post office says. If I am not your SP, well, then I have no idea why your parcel is taking so long either! lol

Krystyna 05-16-2013 11:05 AM

Well if anyone has me I'm not being rude by not responding. I just haven't received anything yet! And no notice in the mailbox to come up anything up at the post office. I promise the moment it arrives, I will post!

What wonderful packages everyone is receiving. Love the mug! Onalee, I saw that post and you really put together a nice package.

buslady 05-16-2013 11:19 AM

Thanks, Krystyna! I try. I think I am loosing it. I cannot for the life of me remember if I received a May package or not. I know I got one, just cant remember if it was this month or last. Some research will provide the answer, but why oh why does this happen to me?????? LOL

reeskylr 05-16-2013 01:05 PM

GAIJIN!! Hasn 't that package arrived yet?! lol

TOOMANYUFO'S 05-16-2013 01:50 PM

Guess I will head to the bench. i haven't received my pkg yet.

sarge1 05-16-2013 02:30 PM

This is my first swap of this kind; I'm not sure what "heading to the bench" means, but I haven't received my package yet, so I guess that is where I'll be if anyone needs me, lol

Krystyna 05-16-2013 03:04 PM

Keeping you company on the bench. It's a lovely evening so I'm bringing the pups with me.

It's for those that haven't got a package after the deadline :) They bring food to keep you fat and happy. lol

brenda21 05-16-2013 03:15 PM
