I received a Moda "It's Snowing" charm pack. Moda is one of my favorite fabric co. and some of the squares have snowmen on them. I collect snowmen, so two of my favorite things in one gift. Then I received another charm pack, this one was from Northcott "Heaven on Earth" Another great fabric co. I especially like Northcott because the fabric is excellent quality and it has such a great feeling to it. I had said that my favorite colors were pinks-burgundy, the bundle has various colors, but the flower sqs. are pink and burg. During the time when this particular fabric line came out, I actually made a breast cancer block for Northcott's contest and used the pink/burgundy flower fabric as my main fabric, so I do really like it. I also received a July/Aug issue of Quiltmaker. It happens to be a magazine that I do not subscribe to. I was very happy. I will try to get my daughter to take picture.
Sorry so many are still waiting on packages, I am also. I know alot of things come up in life and make hard to send out on time but it seems like there are alot every month that are late or don't come at all. I know I posted a few months ago that I have just as much fun shopping and sending a package as I do recieving one, but I got to admit my enthusiasm is starting to fade a little bit. I am not going to lie.
This is the 3rd or 4th month that mine has been late or didn't come at all and a wonderful angel had to step up and send one. I hope this doesn't sound ugly on my part but I don't know why people sign up for these swaps if they don't want to follow through. It ruins the fun for everyone else who are either waiting on their package or are ready to start the next one. I hope this doesn't sound mean and I know there are alot of real reasons packages get sent late but they can't all be. Sorry to be so negative. :-(

I think it is great to receive a gift from another country because you get goodies that are different than what you would get in the USA.
Thanks so much! I love it all! (will eat the chocolate now!)

I am back from holiday and I think I have received my pakage also but it was left with a neighbour and dont think they would appreciate me knocking on them at this time of night (it's just after midnight)
Had a great holiday and it will be lovely to see what my package is.
I love the fact also that it comes from a different country and I learn a little about new people and new areas.
As to my 17 day diet its back to day one tomorrow!!
