I see that some of our Canadian SP's are still waiting. How is the mail situation there now?
I sent my squishy 10 days ago and it should be at it's destination soon, I hope. No matter how I send it, I cannot track it once it is out of our postal systems hands.
Was just about to vent about our postal system but thought better of it - will just go and buy a big club to hit them over the head instead!

For a squishy to come to Canada from another country it is usually 10 - 14 business days ... so no fret yet and Monday here is a holiday!

I am so glad you liked what I sent. The package I received from you was awesome. I am leaving early tomorrow morning and won't be able to post a picture until Thursday morning. Angela made a beautiful pin cushion (with pins) which also holds scissors, and also made an "award winning" dishcloth, also included some fantastic FQ's in my favorite colors. There were some paper scissors, elmers school glue, glue sticks, a Fons and Porter magazine, a composition book and some post it flags. This was an awesome, awesome package. Thanks so much

A pincushion in a small container with birds perched on the sides. She even made beautiful pins. She also made a pincushion to use on my thumb when I am doring handwork. Several wonderful pieces of fabric that are different from any in my stash. An awesome potholder in autumn fabic -- it is very thick -- so I definitely won't get burned. A lovely ornament. A magnetic note pad. And dark chocolate. A very good thing because I have stopped buying chocolate because it always melts before I get it home.
Twinkie, Thank You, your package was incredible.

I thought the person we send to is different from who we receive from.[/quote]
Had no idea until I saw her post that her package had arrived at my Post Office but had not been delivered (I only check that Post Office a couple of times a month). At that point I knew, but she did not.
With all the signups, it is bound to happen occasionally. But we would never know until the packages arrive.
