Wonderful - how nice to meet other people from this board! Thanks for letting me know. And I just got a pm from Sheila letting me know the package had arrived - great!

For a group project I once worked on, I purchased 100 plain white tote bags which we decorated (with markers). I still have many plain bags left and have been giving one in my swap packages! I decorate with fabric and try to choose colors my sp will appreciate.

Okay, well really, here it is: I am a tote addict. Not just the nicer ones like from L.L. Bean, or the Professional Tote. I've got those and use them, but I also really like the ones that you get in stores for $1. Joanns and TJ Maxx have some really cute ones.
Just used one today at the local Mennonite vegetable stand. I take projects to our guild sew-in day, or to show and tell, etc. Love them. I think they'd be good in a SP package!
See, I just needed to see what peeps were getting to get the ideas going...

You are so welcome - I'm glad you liked it all! Been having a ball with these swaps. How nice that you can get together with other ladies from here!

I really like the thread also. The reason you can't find the pkg on the thread is because Kris hasn't taught me how to do it yet- sorry no pictures this month. The tote bag is great- I used it today and of course got compliments from cashier.
Thank you again for everything. Lots of fabric- Christmas one, couple of fat quarters, some other yardage-Santa and the blues were great!

I don't think we "count" as getting together from this board...we've been hanging out together since 1976! We also have another friend on here that we've known forever!
