    Louise, I think that most of us could fill a box with what we have on hand and tuck in a $10 bill and be good to go! Hahahaha!

    I had some pot stickers from Panda Express on Friday, so I am good
    to go for at least a week on them.

    And I have received my 2 sp packages already, well it was SUPPOSE
    to be 2, but its a long story so I got 3 this month, no worries though.

    But I will come sit with you and at least keep you company.

    Heck if you're reaaaallllllyyyyyy nice I might even break out all my old
    skills and give you a Professional Spa Pedicure. Been several years since
    I gave anyone the pedicure treatment, and I KNOW how to do it without
    causing you to be tickled (if you happen to be ticklish, I'm not ticklish).

    I am ticklish
    but not with pedicures! Had one in Canada last year, it was done by a man, he gave me the best foot massage I have ever had, I thought I'd purr like a cat

    And thanks for the company, am I the only one still on the bench?

    Ohhhhh I don't like seeing anyone on the bench, so if you happen
    to NOT be alone they would get pedi's also.


    So if anyone else is on the bench waiting you get the treatment also.


    The whole trick to doing a PROPER pedicure and not tickle the person
    is to apply enough pressure to get past the ticklish stage, but not so
    much pressure that you can cause discomfort or pain.

    My husband who is EXTREMELY ticklish can tolerate my pedicures,
    except for at the top of the ball (just below the toes area), nothing
    I do there will prevent him from being ticklish in that area. But I HAVE
    to give him regular pedicures because his heels crack so bad that he
    has literally shredded 3 bottom sheets. Just today I had to do a patch
    repair on a sheet (because I am tired of buying new sheets).

I try to remember to write that in my note in my boxes I send but in case I forget I want anyone who got a box from me to know. We all have different tastes and to me it's no big deal.
    I feel exactly the same way and include it in my note also!!!

    I feel the same way: better to pass something on to someone else who will enjoy it, but at the same time I won't pass home made gifts on unless I know the person doesn't mind. I know there are different schools of thought on it

Most of us have very large stashes that are easily shared. As I near a milestone birthday in May, I have to wonder if I could ever possibly sew through everything I own. Do take a few moments to go back over the posts this month and you will see a lot of ways that you can get quite a bit for very little. Be creative! Add something homemade like most of us do.
    Yah, JoAnn's just had a major sale on patterns for .99c
    I picked up five fQ's from their BoM that they had extras of for 97c a piece. They always have these on sale when they bring out a new one. I could have picked up the blocks too, they were cheap, but like I need more to do. Hahaha.

    I put in patterns that you can rip off in sheets at Wal-mart, they come out every month and are free. I make a couple things and toss in there. Then there is always something at a thrift store I'll run into. It seems I am constantly looking for stuff when I am out. The dollar stores rock for small goodies.
