They are a regular bean that is edible however some kind of an insect puts a hole in the bean and lays their eggs. They (whoever they is)don't want the bug to get to other places, I don't remember the reason though so the mexican jumping bean is now illegal to sell in the US.

OK, was this naughty or nice?

I looked through my person's postings and bookmarks to try to find something out about them and saw an interest in a topic I've been thinking about trying also. Last spring I saw a book on Amazon that was highly rated with directions for making this particular item, and I've wanted the book for a long time. So I decided to get this book for my person...and since I didn't have enough in the order to reach the $25 for free shipping, I of course had to order one for me too to reach the free shipping point! So am I selfish or smart?

Both books arrived. Mine has fingerprints all through it already, the other is clean and fresh. I hope she likes it!

I go with smart if you had to pay shipping on one book it would have probably been around $4 so whatever the cost of your book was deduct what it would have cost for shipping and that in reality is what you paid for your book. YOU got a bargin!!!! :D :D :D :D

Me thinks while Patti is not quite sure about her package, Terri's package might get pounced on before the mailman lets go of it :shock: ...hee hee hee...wish I could be there to see that! :D
Hmmm, come to think of it, I just did :mrgreen:
Mousie can't wait to get hers, cause she's got a lot to say to it.
I'm going to pet it and love it, and sing to it. No shaking allowed...
I just hope it doesn't emit any maladorous emissions... :roll:
I don't have any square or rectangular 'seat covers'...
duh! oh yeah, I'm a quilter. I can make some if the need arises.
Hmm, wasn't planning on THAT, when I bought these fabrics.
What was that noise? Did I hear a shudder and an eww :? come from Mousie's quilt-cave? :mrgreen: :lol: :lol:
