    This is my first time doing a swap and I really enjoyed buying but not sure I like it if never get anything in return. I am just like you others when I go out I think gee that would be nice for my Secret Pal.

    Nope you are not alone, I think the poor mailmen/woman are getting that scary stalked feeling again from all of the eyes staring at them from behind fences and under bushes! LOL :shock:

    Still on the bench like the rest of you. But then we do have a mail strike going on. Hopefully the government will pass the bill to order the posties back to work soon.

    I sure feel bad for all of you up in Canada. It can be hard sitting on the bench for so long! Hope the government passes the bill too so you all can get your special packages.

    I received my Swap package today, from SL Hughes. Thank you so much Stacey!! I am overwhelmed by all the beautiful things you have chosen to send to me. Really, overwhelmed!

    Everyone, this box was just too good to be true and I feel so grateful for the chance to participate. Stacey included a gorgeous embroidery kit that is a table topper. It has satin stitch sunflowers all around in a circle on the top which is 100% cotton and has a lovely finish to it. Also there was a full yard of beautiful blue cotton fabric that will match and fit in with my blue collection just perfectly! Also there is a set of three fine line Chacopel marking pencils, some decorative needle threaders, a travel box for my rotary cutter or pens and pencils, a spool of Gutterman thread in white, four packages of flowers seeds, a notebook and pen set and a magnetic shopping list. Stacey also sent along a darling quilters survival tin filled with goodies for the quilter and an assortment of chocolate bars with almonds!! I could not be happier. Thanks again, Stacey, you've made my swap this month so special!!!

    My package came today - from Soniboo. Thank you so much! She did a great job with her selections. The fabrics are all colors I love. I especially like the gold and the one with the sunflowers. The Christmas tin is cute - I collect decorated tins and this will fit in nice with the others I have. The quilt book has a lot of cute ideas for Xmas gifts. Of course the candy is a huge hit! And, not included in the picture, but so appreciated - was a bag of milkbones for Rusty! He was nosing around the box even before it was opened!

    I am having trouble getting the photo to attach. I'll try again! Don't know if it is my computer or this site.

    I am so happy I got my package yesterday. It is my first month in the SP swap and I felt for sure I would somehow get missed. I would have been so sad. Now I am even more excited about participating next month, and am already thinking about what to include.
