What is the best way to mail? Last time I mailed to Australia it took 3 weeks and that was Priority.

Just have to work another 2 weeks then i will be on holidays again for another 2 weeks, i have it all worked out, and then it will be easter, so when i go back to work they will be short weeks. lol.

I'm still trying to work that out. I sent registerd and it took 4 weeks to get there, I send just airmail, and it takes anywhere from 4 to 20 days. Now I send it and hope. :thumbup:

You're not the only one who is trying to work things out with the post office. WE never know how long it will take also. Oh well, that's the secret and surprise part I guess in these swaps. LOL. Can't wait to see all the pix. RoseAnne's was mailed out and she should be getting her teal surprise (my name for it) any day now.

Thanks Penny - I will get it mailed Friday. Take your time - I understand if you aren't done I knew the wedding is coming up and that's an even bigger deadline to meet. I'm sure it will be worth the wait.

Sigh. Don't you just hate waiting for the post office to deliver your stuff? Rose Anne....your package should be arriving any time now. It was mailed earlier this week.

Dream56 -- your bag is done and I really need to send it to you quick before I decide to keep it. Tried a new pattern, and it really turned out well, if I do say so myself. I'm trying to get all my obligations taken care of before the middle of April since I know things will go crazy before the wedding at the end of April. Bridezilla is still alive at this moment, and that's saying a lot.

OOPS! THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN POSTED UNDER MARCH QUILTING IN THE NEW YEAR. SORRY. ONLY HAD FIRST CUP OF COFFEE SO FAR.

YAY! Post office delivered and Rose Anne said she liked it. She'll post a picture in a day or two but today she is busy. Whew! That's a big relief. :) BonBon does happy dance now.

Glad she liked it Bonni.

Nancy - I am not done with yours, but I understand with the wedding coming up. I sent you a PM.
