    Default Package has shipped

    I think I've seen this posted here before but wanted to toot the merry holiday horn for Missouri Star Quilt Company's shipping notification which come by email when you order from them, it's delightful!!

    Thanks for your order at the Missouri Star Quilt Company!

    We just want to let you know that your quilting supplies have been meticulously gathered, placed on a red velvet pillow, and delicately escorted by 25 of our finest employees to our shipping department. Our master shipper has dutifully performed his craft, lovingly packing your order in the finest materials known to man.

    Our team gathered to give your package the proper send-off it deserved. Tears of joy were shed, speeches were given, and there was even a farewell cake. Following the festivities, the whole group, led by our local high school marching band playing the song Leaving on a Jet Plane, ushered your order through downtown Hamilton, Missouri. No, we don't own a Jet Plane, but your package was placed in the care of a roguishly handsome man who is riding in a majestic horse-drawn carriage which is on its way to your home as you read this.

    Although the products you've ordered will be sorely missed here at MSQC, we are overjoyed that they have found a good home. Take care of them, treasure them, and when you make something beautiful with them, make sure you share it with us on facebook, twitter, or just send us an email, we love to see what you make!.

    *Note the above is a slight dramatization of what actually happened with your order, but seriously we did ship it, and here is the tracking info:

    I ordered a jelly roll on a deal of the day the other day and got that same email. I thought it was very cute!

    I love people with a sense of humor and can laugh at themselves. I got a flight attendant on a Frontier flight like that once, she made the whole trip.
