    The USPS says my SP got her package yesterday, but no word. I'm hoping she has just been too busy to open it. I always worry that packages will sprout legs and walk off to someone else's house.

    OOPS forgot to mention the bag of Laffy Taffy. Didn't make it in the picture. No I did not eat them all already. Just had to hide the bag.

    Yes, I can agree with you.....sending the SP package, excited to have your SP receive it and then checking the Delivery Confirmation that says it's been delivered but not hearing from your SP the day the package arrived.

    Anastasia - hope you had a wonderful birthday and got LOTS of presents (which, of course, you more than deserve).

    Brenda - So glad you got a few precious hours with your DD. Kay is kind of scary, sexy!!! I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun with her - good job Krystyna. You are always full of surprises!!

    Mdall - I had so much fun putting together your package and am glad you like it. You have adorable boys - they look like a fun handful. I love popping bubble wrap, too - it was difficult to part with it, believe me, but I see it went to a good home.

    Krystyna - Since you are the brains and brawn behind the doll quilt swap, did you look at the entries in the mini-quilt contest? Very impressive!!!

    Looking forward to getting my swap package this month. All I got so far this October were bills and a pair of boots I ordered online - that are too very, very, very pinchy, by the way. I love them, but sadly, back they go.

    I got 4 packages in the mail today.. yay.. One of them was my secret pal box which I had to doublecheck and make sure it wasn't actually my secret santa bedause it just said "secret pal" for the name and I didn't want to ruin the suspenseful surprise from the other swap by opening it early. So.. after I made sure, I dug in..

    Teee heee sooo much purple for meeeeee!!!!

    I got a wonderful box from Lets Quilt. (Whom I know a secret about, but it's a secret so.. I can't tell you, but 2 other people on the forum know it as well).

    Lookie my goodies

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]370155[/ATTACH]
    Got 2 dishtowels, a witch and a ghost, I got a table runner kit, a purple FQ bundle, a purple charm square pack, a purple yo-yo pack that I'm going to turn some of them into hair clips. 2 spools of purple thread, some purple zippers, some raspberry lemonade crystal light.. mm.. a whole bag of reeses (second bag of the day!!) a super cute potholder that has a matching towel stuck in the pocket of it. a book by one of my favorite authors. and something she didn't know I've been wanting and wanting.. the little kit that has the seam ripper, the seam guide? and the little snips. Those snips are perfect for shadow trapunto which I want to do, and I have always wanted that seam guide but never indulged and bought it. yay me. And now I got another seam ripper to hide on myself cause.. well I don't know where my pretty purple one is hiding. Cat ate it I bet.

    As you can see.. said kitten.. think everything is for her. She promptly stole my FQ that I also got from the FQ swap as well. I loves all ze purple! having a good Bday.

    Happy Birthday Anastasia Got it in before midnight...

    Nice packages arriving all around. Brenda I'm sure you will have lots of fun with Kay.
    Krystyna where do you get your ideas from? Not just creating but lots of fun ways to play with Kay too. Brenda I'm imagining you having her strapped in the car, and someone pulling up beside you at a red light and looking over. And you catching a glimpse at their face. Be sure to wave.

    Mdall lucky you, looks like some little guys might be competing for the cowl.

    Yay....my SP package arrived in this afternoon's mail from sewbeadit (Lynn). Look at what I received!!!
    She made me a homemade bag....isn't it just so lovely???!!! And she also included three fabric prints but the most beautiful one was the orange with the lovely purple flowers....just beautiful!!! And I just had to show what I thought was a thick marker pen but turned out to be a pair of snipping scissors!!! Thank you, sewbeadit!!!
