LStew....sending hugs your way. do the best you can with the swap. if your packages are ready to go with out cards just send them out that way. Just include a note saying they are from you.

HI Ladies, I'm home from GA. I hated leaving my mother. She hasen't had time to grieve my father for herself as my uncle got sick and my father was his POA. He is now on Hospice and My mother had to go and take care of his needs.
I got up this morning thinking I would get the next two birthday squishes ready for the mail and I am all out of birthday cards. After being gone for a week and a half, there is so much to do at home. I need to go to the store.

I was able to make the half-square triangles with the 2.5" candy blocks.
Here is a link to where you can buy the quilt pattern using this block: http://www.thepatternbasket.com/catalog.htm?item=214

I could be making cardinals and juncos. Not a paper piece fan but a few for a wall hanging might be nice. Like your little dearies. I live near a marsh and get many, many bird from gold finches to sand hill cranes but no field loving bluebirds. Do you have a good source for PP bird paatterns?

Well, silly me, I got the envelopes all ready for the mail and then I heard Homer Simpson go Duh!! No mail today, because it is Columbus Day. Dropped them off to the post office so they will go out in the early morning mail tomorrow.

Thank you Ms. Barbara, I went to the store and got enough cards to finish out the year. The remaining October Birthdays will go out this morning. I did notice that the .50 birthday cards have shrunk. I've noticed that a lot lately, items getting smaller but the price remains the same. "GRRRRRRR"

JENNR8R, Thanks for the pictures and bird pattern links. After looking at them, it feels like I should start another project because they are so cute, but I'm trying not to start new projects and instead get the old ones done.
