    well they said that the comments section will be on the invoice with the package. I sure hope they do. I am still going to send out a postcard I think.

    Nexxus~I think that it's fine...that way you aren't paying to have it shipped to you and then you ship to pal (even more economical if it is international).....I've done stuff like that before and my pal has never had a problem with it....I've also had someone who had too many things come up to prepare what she thought was a "good enough" package, and received an email saying that I had a $15.00 credit at Connecting Threads and to go online and use it (she figured that between the $10 limit and the shipping it would be $15)...I thought that one was really different and I really enjoyed that one!!

The reason I am asking is because I was able to purchase two yards of this persons favorite fabric for just four bucks more than the limit on an online shop and the shipping was the same as if I were to go to the postoffice and ship it off. I figure the four bucks more saved me a lot more in gas and time going to the store and post office. Does this see unthoughtful? I hope my person doesn't get offended but I did send her most fabric fabric line sooooooooo
    Don't think it'll be me again, but postage is so expensive for international and fabric so pricey outside the US, a couple of yards would be a great parcel! Who wouldn't be delighted with that? (Hope it is me, lol!)

    Oh I did not know that fabric was so pricey over there. I will have to remember that if I get you as a pal again.

    I am 21, is it me? well I am not really 21, my zip is... don't think me to lame here but I can't tell you how many times I had to add those numbers together... I figure if I say something then you will all remind me when you see someone mention the zip code is 21... thanks, I need every little bit of help I can get!

    I made a totally awesome wall hanging for another swap, Rhonda's Wall hanging swap... anyway I loved it so much that I was going to go into production, but by the time I actually finish it I don't think I will feel all that good about going into production, not that it isn't something you would all want, I am just getting kinda burnt out on it!

    I actually came in here for a reason but after reading all the posts and clues and then having to do math and well OK I FORGOT! Sheesh, oh well time to go do something else, I even forgot what else I was supposed to do, I know Nap Yep that is it a good long nap~

    Dear SP,
    I tought of you today, but sad to say I have not had a chance to work on your package yet. I know this is disappointing to you, don't dispair though I promise I will take time to get it together before the 15th. I have been very busy as my youngest son is getting married this month. I will be having company stay here for a few days and I have been trying to get my house ready. As I have been cleaning the past couple days ...I have realized I have spent WAY too much time quilting ! Your profile info tells me you are a busy lady too...making things for children. You must be such a special lady. Well I will let you go for now.
    Remember I haven't forgotten you

    So excited. I got some awesome fabric for my partner today and got a really good deal and I think it satisfies all their requirements (except favorite line) for their favorite. Gotta a few other things, good deals, gotta love sale days! Now I have to make a few things then I can package it all up and get it out.
