    It would take me an hour to list everything in there, but there were peeps, chocolate, design your own mug, socks, note cards, shopping list, gorgeous blue green fabrics, seaside fabric that I love, love,love, and TINY MONKEY FABRIC -- WHEEEEE! (but no actual tiny monkey ) tape measure fabric, apron fabric, stained glass cross fabric, white on white fabric, white rick rack, a wonderful book on silk quilting and sewing projects with patterns, two other patterns, a ... darn can't think of the word - it's not a piton, hair stretchies, spot mesh for embroidery, gloveless hands or handless gloves or I don't know, something wonderful in a bottle, special stabilizer, a bag full of little wonderful things and I don't even know what they are, sticky notes, a pet record book ... and the bad thing ... -- Do I have to name it? It starts with a G.
    Krystyna I love your package. I'm a junkie for all those kinds of things like sticky notes, and all the promotional things that business give out. Look at all the bobbin/thread minders you have now. I have only been able to find small packages of them here. With all the sewing and thread that you use, you will probably have just enough there...lol

    Hi everyone, I still here. I am happy to report that I have managed to spend the last week at home with no trips to the hospital. I have had some rough days and have not been on the computer much and not able to do much of anything. I am managing the pain better now and yesterday I was able to eat all day without any pain. I'm going to try and get caught up on all the posts that I missed the last several days.

    To my SP I have everything ready for your package. I'm hoping to make some homemade things tomorrow so that I can send your package out to you.

    I hope that everyone had a wonderful Easter.

    I put the solor powered bunny in the window and watched it dance for a while. That is the cutiest thing.

    Great package you got from Teresa. You'll have to let us know how that software program works out.

    Brenda, Glad that you liked everything. The Blackberry is my best seller. Hard to keep it on hand for the craft shows. Enjoy!!

    I also was not sure if shopping estate and garage sales was frowned upon but, I guess if the item is in excellent condition, it is OK.

    I will now add a different element to my store browsing.

    Yes, I can add handmade items as I do a lot of crafts besides quilting. It's also a good excuse to try my hand making a pot holder or tote finally. Test for me, then item for SP.

    Will probably join in June unless I am truly inspired in time for May.

    Thanks a lot, keep those ideas coming.
    Thrift stores are also another good source. The stores here sometimes have fabric. You can also pick up things that your SP may collect there. One of the things that I like to pick up there is tea cups and turn them into pincushions or candle stick to use as a base for a dress form pincushion. Dollar stores are another good source to pick up things cheap. Garage sales are fine as well. You just have to get creative. One of the things I like to do is stock up when school supplies go on sale. Pencil boxes, bottles of glue and glue sticks, colored pencils and crayons, pencils, ect. All of these can be used for storage, applique, quilt designing. If you need ideas for crafty things to make for your SP you should check out pinterest.com, you'll get all sort of ideas there. You can click on the link to my page there in my signature line below. Hope this has been of help to you.
