She made a jar pin cushion and a cute coin purse out of fabric that is especially dear to me. She also sent a quilting novel, some fabric glue (hubby grabbed that to), needles and ribbon. It was a wonderful package. Thank you very much DeeDee.
I think your hubby needs to join this swap. :mrgreen:
Lori -- regifting those books are a great idea. It is quilty books after all!

Thank you all for your concern. The packages have been flying right and left around the world and they look great. I think that I idea of taking a picture of what you send before you ship it off is a good one. That way if your sp doesn't have a camera or doesn't know how to post a picture you could post it for them. It's a win win situation. I don't think you should post them before your sp gets the package though. That way they get the fun of showing what they got if they are able to do so. I am sending a couple of books that I have received here, I read them and enjoyed them so much that I would like to allow someone else to have that pleasure also. Would that be a problem with anyone?

DH just came in the door with the mail and i said still not here? He said no they dont love you like I do honey! I had to smile and thought OK that makes up for no squishie once again. Oh I do hope it comes soon for I need a pick me up after 4 weeks of migraines!
I am awaiting hte same thing as well and it is getting frustrating isnt it?
Yes, Shelrox, it's very frustrating waiting for your pkg after you see everyone else getting theirs. But on the upside, I have already been shopping for some items we all need as quilters for the next SP swap. Even tho I haven't rec'd my pkg yet, I am looking forward to the next one!

I am leaving to go to Birmingham, Al to see my brother. He is on an L-Vad (left ventrical assist device) and not doing well. I would appreciate prayers for him. His name is Dennis.

I just opened my package from Soniboo, thank you so much for the great SP gifts. I love the fabrics for me and the kiddies and I have a tote bag pattern to use these lovely charm squares. Great Christmas project book, I'm always looking for them. The diet note pad is funny and I love the quilting note cards. Of course we can all use the machine needles and the pin cushion is really cute, I like yo-yos! Thank you again........Donna

Thank you, I have started acupuncture, manipulation and gemmotherapy and something is finally breaking the cycle. Between Fibromyalgia, Thoracic Outlet Syndrome and the Migraines life gets very difficult to deal with and I really enjoy this board and the swaps.
