Mary sent 2 handmade pincushions. One was a dress makers form with a tiny tape measure draped over the neck, pins and a floral corsage..at the bottom "life's a stitch" was written. The other one was a sewing machine with great detail..it has a tiny tomato pincushion with tiny pins in it, a spool of thread, a thimble and a threaded needle..with a tiny tape measure and scissors. It is so adorable.
My mother enjoyed the package as much as I did.
She also included a crockpot hot pad. Which is perching at this moment on my crockpot of soup. She also made a pretty manicure pouch with tools inside. It is made with a purple/pink batik fabric. She also sent some pretty fall fabric. I have tons of fabric, but no fall fabrics. There is a package of fall leaf buttons. I have ideas circling in my head for a project using them.
Yesterday I was going through my bobbin box and the thread was tangled and everywhere...not any more. She include a package of ponytail elastics to hold the thread in place
She sent a cute notebook with gerbera daisies on it..that is hiding in a side pocket of my purse...granddaughter Chloe is always rooting through my purse. Hopefully she won't find it!
To top the package off she sent my favorite York peppermint patties..and a nice homemade card. I love homemade things...
Thank you so much Mary..I love all of the items in the package. You certainly made it special.
I can't wait for hubby to get home to show him. Then I can spring it on him that I need that shelf put up. The shelf is very old, it came out of my bedroom at my childhood home. I think I need to do a little eye batting. LOL.
Peace and Blessings, and tons of hugs
Thank you so much!

My daughter gave birth to her only child on her birthday exactly 20 years after she was born.
My other sister was born December 18th and it was no fun for her. She never got a real birthday present mom would just say go pick one of your presents from under the tree and you can open it early. Never had a cake or anything. As I got old enough to realize it bothered her I started buying her a big peppermint stick for her birthday. She is crazy about peppermint! I started with a 6oz stick. The last one I bought her before she got married was 3 pounds! She loved it. Now everytime I see a peppermint stick I still think of her. Last year I sent her a 5 pound one as a gag nd she loved it and made such a fuss I didn't have the heart to tell her it was a joke.

I would send her a Birthday card! To me birthdays are the greatest. It is the only day dedicated to YOU!

All these gifts are great! I am new to this and sure hope my Secret Pal likes the things I chose. Mailed her box out yesterday and post office said 5 to 10 days and then I find out there is a postal strike. Rats! Hope she gets her package before the end of the month.
P.S. pgaines......my zip code totals 13! Could it be me?
