Deanna, I have to tell you that your post has been the best part of this experience! That is so awesome, and who could be more deserving than one of our Vet's.
We've had a rough year at school and are only 6 days in: Three long-term suspensions, a "personnel matter" that resulted in a well-liked teacher leaving his position, two teachers having medical emergencies themselves and two others who have had children with life-threatening illness. It's like living in a bad soap opera.
Your post was such a day brightener. Thank you so much for sharing.
Peace and Joy,
Robin

Misty Mary, that is a beautiful wall hanging. And I know what you mean about the $10 limit. I don't have a big stash like most people do, so pulling from it is not an option, however, I do have a SP stash box, where i put finds I buy on sale or acquire but know I won't use. I have been participating in this swap since July of 2010, maybe missed a month or two, and I was never disappointed in any of the packages I received; some of them had a lot more than others, but they all contained things in favorite colors, fabrics, etc. So to me, as long as I read my SP's information and send relevant things that are at least $10 worth, I don't feel guilty and you shouldn't..it is not a competition. Plus, that wall hanging there on its own is worth a lot more than $10.
And I am not joining the bench until I pick my mail up tomorrow and see what's in it :XD: although I'd love some s'mores.

I actually don't have any thread holders - mine are lumped together in an old toolkit, so this is fantastic!
Thank you to Florida from NY.

I sure hope my SP will like this little wall quilt as much as she LOVES candy corns!
The package is in the mail today... hopefully soon to zoom her way!
