How did you do it so fast??????????????? My friend and I figured you had at least 500 baggies. It would have been hard for me not to stop and look/touch each one!! And think about what I could do with them. I would zone out or run to get a pattern I was thinking of.

An Early Happy Birthday to Sadiemae and Ajonkarl...I won't have time on Thursday.
The reason I got the swap out as planned was because the last few steps, which I thought I couldn't get done today, were not as time consuming as I thought. I didn't do every step of the swap today...I'm 'good' but not that good! LOL
I have been working on the swap over the past week ... opening the packages ... making notes about each package ... PMing people ... keeping the thread and activities board up to date ... thinking of how to actually swap it ... clearing off a big enough area to *s-p-r-e-a-d--o-u-t* ... lining things up ... going to the post office for supplies and information ... getting more large plastic bags and labeling them (some didn't include) ... making mailing labels ... lining things up one more time ... and began swapping.
I loved every minute (except when I had to enforce the rules). Thanks for joining!

I'm looking forward to receiving mine also. This last week of waiting for my Dad to pass and praying it would be quick and pain free, then making all the funeral and church service arrangements have been draining. I am mentally and emotionally exhausted and will be so happy to get a nice surprise when I leave here on Saturday. Thank you to all of you who participated and to all of you who have been living this nightmare with me. Thank heavens he had his funeral arrangements already made, all the way down to the obituary. Thanks for hanging in there with me ladies and encouraging me as best you could. Quilters have the biggest hearts and are some of the most spiritual people I know. Continue to keep us in your prayers. God Bless, Cherie

Of course there is so many jelly roll ideas at Moda Bake Shop but I'm thinking of It's a Hoot http://www.unitednotions.com/un_main.nsf/free_patterns
