    Sheri,

    I came through fine - no damage, just lots of leaves and branches down! The PO only missed one day of delivery during the worst of the storm.

    I had the same experience with the wrong envelopes. I didn't even know there was more than one kind until I got the wrong ones! Frustrating!
    Anyway, my PO told me to bring in the ones I couldn't use and they would use them, so at least I didn't have to throw any away.

    I packaged nearly all the rest this evening but ran into a problem...when I opened the set of padded envelopes I had ordered from USPS...they were NOT priority... They were like express or something wrong and more expensive... I "recycled" a few I had received from some of you, so some of you are getting recycled padded envelopes...I'll post names tomorrow of whose next to be mailed out - after I actually mail them. Maybe I'll also be able to get SEVEN more padded envelopes from my local PO and finish up with the mailing...

    Had a big bag of candy waiting for me when I came home! Was wondering if Barbarakibler23 is the same Barbara that I've swapped charm squares with from the Curious Quilter? Here's a small world I got a bag from Becky G aka quiltingdragon and she lives 2 seconds from me and we belong to the same quilt guild.

    Love my big bag of candies and don't think I'm be in a diabetic coma tonight.

    Oh I had no idea you were so close to quiltingdragon. I never looked at names, I just swapped. (20- 1,2,3...20) If you want a different trade, let me know.

    AND I can't believe yall are getting them so quickly. LOVE my PO. I mailed 19 more packages today.

    I'll mail the rest tomorrow in paper, not padded, envelopes. My tiny po didn't have padded, they were happy to take my express ones though.... <3 <3 <3

    My candy is here! I got candy from at least 6 states and Japan. Every new pack I open as a new favorite in it. I'm fabric fickle. Thanks for playing everyone.

    One happy camper here! I've been in several swaps and was lucky enough to get sets from a lot of different members including JAPAN!

    Got to go now, I need to make a dental appt....I feel the cavities coming as we speak.
