    Barb, that's a nice group of returning swappers! But Barb, I could kick myself. I finished cutting and packaging for next year but last night, I ran across dozens (many dozens!) of strips I cut last year, intending to use them in 2019-2020. I'd set them aside for safekeeping (uggg) and promptly forgot about all of them. Sooo...I've got a jump on 2020-2021 in the event you're still running this swap then. Also, I am definitely one who cut strips without regard to little heads, etc., on novelty fabrics. Since I have very few novelties, I'll go ahead and add some extra candies in each of those packages. My apologies for any decapitated four-leggeds anyone may have received this year. Honestly, I just never gave it a thought. I just cut, cut, cut. Oh, dear![/QUOTE]

    Yes, barbarakibler23, I still have not received those last four, unless iI get some in the mailbox today. Snowstorm here today and I live rural, so our mailman did not come today. I will post on here when I receive them.

    Janice...I really don't think it was a problem with your squares from the swap this year. Make sure you right yourself a note on your calendar to remember to use your strips for next year (wowsa 20-21 swap).

    So here in Michigan they are calling for our first big snow storm of the year. Seems like the weathermen(women) get very excited when they get to talk about ALL at the snow.

    I really don't care either way about snow...I usually really like January, I like to "watch the snow" and feel the comfort of "just staying home". This year is different. I have 2 jobs and have to get to them. We just listed our house to sell and frantically looking for somewhere to live. So I think I am feeling the snow will just be the a nuisance . oh well maybe next year I will enjoy the snow.

    Glad to hear it! I have to check the pkgs I just made but that won’t take long. And yes, I’ve made a note for the future abt the cut strips. Lol.

    I am cutting my squares for the next Birthday club. Getting myself ready. I myself will have to also check my larger print fabric for lopsided pictures. I never even thought to look. Thanks for the reminder.

    I love the snow! It makes everything outdoors look so clean and white. And when the sun is out-- wow, I love the sparkles. I like the crunchy sound when you walk on it when the temperature is low. :-) I don't like to be cold. And I really don't like to drive when there's snow or ice. But if I could stay home, where it's warm, and just go out now and then to shovel or enjoy the snow, that would be perfect!

    Barb, We've got about 5" or 6" here. If you are keeping your jobs then you'll be looking for a house there, or if not, you are welcome to come over to my neck of the woods! :-)
