At first I thought you were talking Australian or British or some other slang. Now I see that I am simply not educated enough. And to think I spent the first 30 years of my life in Upstate, NY - shouldn't I know better?

And Fayzer, let's blow this popsicle bench and go to the beach instead. Might as well catch some rays while we wait for the mail. No package here today either.

Sharon, you make me laugh. I've got this one. A "swim" noodle is a 6' long tube of foam that people use in the pool or the beach. It is as big around as a soda can. I have some noodles in the garage. Come on over, the Gulf is gorgeous and I'm ready to blow the bench too.

I thought she was talking about a book binder. He! He!
So you are not the only ditz. And I will join you at the beach, cuz I am still on the bench too. Lori pmed me today and said mine will be mailed Mon. Yeah! So, I still have a few more days on the bench.

I am working on one now for my DGD. I've gotten sidetracked with cooling scarves. I'm anxious to finish the scarves and get back to the quilt. Still kind of a newbie. LOL

I am so happy to hear that I am not the only "Ditzy One"
in this group. In my mind I kept trying to figure out how this binder holder would hold up a 3 ring binder without tipping over. Just couldn't figure it out!

Glad someone asked!!! hehehehe

I sure did. I sent mine on the 16th and PM'd her that day. I just probably won't get a SP pkg this time.

YOU WILL ALWAYS GET A PACKAGE!! EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU!!!

I am sorry to not have posted about my package arriving this week....too many Dr appts the last two weeks...

Nancy in LA and I sent to each other..how fun is that???
I got a great magazine called Quilting celebrations..FUN stuff... some CO Bigelow Rose salve...a magnetic weekly calender (which I needed), some beautiful labels in my fave colors, a card case that says " it is not shopping, it is RETAIL THERAPY"...how well she knows me..AND a lovely pair of embroidery scissors in a monogrammed case...right to my embroidery project they went!

Thank you NANCY...I love it all!
