If you ever get me as your SP, skip the chocolate and send fish!
I have no idea who my sp is, but I am still on the bench, since no pkg in the mail today.

great packages! That box of buttons and trinkets looks like fun to me too. I don't officially collect them but I do pick some up from time to time, especially if I see some that are unusual or interesting or too cute to pass up. Hmm maybe I'm an occasional collector. but I like anything that is fun too! Well hopefully packages get delivered next week the month is waning.

I wonder if we are the only 2left? Many that were on the bench received this wk. Next week everyone should have gotten a pkg. I have patients and can wait a little longer. I can only bring the rhubarb and cod, waiting for the lobster and crabs to pick up. DD hauled 90 traps and only got 9 lobsters, thats won't even begin to cover expenses. It will be better hopefully in a couple of wks.

So nice to see so many packages with the theme QUALITY rather then quantity, things are so pretty and useful and such great packages... Didn't know they had white peanut butter cups, will have to put that on my want list... and yummy on the peach jam, told my husband we need to go to the market this week and get some peaches so I can make some jam.. Made Rhubarb/cranberry last week... Have a wee tip for those who wake up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep... Grab a teaspoon and the Peanut butter jar... Get yourself a heaping teaspoon ( nicely rounded) and just slowly nibble away on it and then go back to bed... Works for me... Try it may help you also... Waiting for the next SP sign up... Have a great Sunday...

Finally success in getting my pictures loaded. New camera and software
So here are pictures of the awesome goodies I received from my June swap partner crafty darlene. I apologize Darlene for taking so much time in getting these posted. Thanks for all the wonderful things you chose for my package, I loved each each and every item that you sent.





[ATTACH=CONFIG]420567[/ATTACH] This pic shows 2 vintage quilting magazines, some free project pages, a word search puzzle book, a seam ripper (which I always seem to misplace), a pkt of flower seeds, a very pretty book marker, and a marking pencil.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]420568[/ATTACH] This pic shows set of 3 ink pens, a book called "Threads of Love" a four-in-one-collection, a notepad, a memo pad, deluxe needle threader (will be good for my "aging eyes") and a beautiful note card with info from Darlene.



[ATTACH=CONFIG]420569[/ATTACH]This last pic shows a wonderful quilt kit. It is a "Quilt of the Season" Lone Star in beautiful soft pastels. Boy I love this. A soft luxurious feeling blue printed fabric (looks like a yard) from Feathered Friends by Wendy Slotboom for In the Beginning fabrics, a very soft snow white towel that has a beautiful embroidered butterfly motif done by Darlene. Thanks again Darlene for your wonderful choices.

Default June SP Wanda Lou ...

Take a look at all the wonderful goodies I received from Wanda Lou! I love the fabric, and the purse pattern is a new one to me and I'm anxious to start in on it. I LOVE the new "Sew-It" and "Quilt-It" publications, and Wanda Lou sent me the newest issue of Sew-It. I also received thread, lotion, tissue, chopsticks, clips,notecards, and a great little golf tee pin cushion which I really like. She also included a visitors' guide to Sculpture that can be viewed in the city of Hamilton, OH -- very interesting.

Glad you liked everything, feel free to pass on anything you can't use I like to pass on magazines myself after i photo copy any patterns I want and put in a binder.

I like making bags too and plan to make that pattern also. Enjoy!

Sharon I would welcome you, I just love trinkets and treasures, buttons and bows.
I remember playing in my granny's button box as a child.

Great packages coming in..easy to see a lot of thought is going into the boxes or envelopes! I love looking at the pictures. Thank you, Lori, for making this swap so much fun. I know it has got to be a LOT of hard work!!!
