I did graduate nursing school in early June... YAY... it is my third degree and by far the hardest. So now I am studying and will take my license exam within the next month or so and I will be an real RN. (guess that means I will need to get a real job)
... about 2 weeks after graduation I had an ankle surgery to repair three ligaments that had been torn for years. Which set me back even farther, since I couldn't walk on it AT ALL for 3 weeks.
But I am so glad I was able to find the time to get these out (sorry it was so close to the deadline, my package is on its way and should be there in the next few days) I would have been so sad if I hadn't been able to participate - Halloween is huge in our house. I have already started working on my 5 year olds costume (and he has the next few years planned out in his head already)
All the pictures look so wonderful and I am so excited to see which ones I will get back even of I still have to wait another month. Everyone did such a wonderful job.

These are cool!
Sorry to hear we lost a few swappers on this FUN SWAP - I was only going to send 2 sets, but decided to fill the mailer and have made 4 sets! I'm always looking for interesting Halloween patterns & fabric, not always that easy to find - I love primatives for Halloween.
My blocks will be in the mail tomorrow! I sure look forward to recieving some back, and the completed projects ;)

We lost three swappers so far, but that is ok. Now we are on a roll as far as the sending people goes. Thanks to the people who have let me know they won't be sending.

Actually cathy,
I have them all in two huge bins awaiting the rest of the blocks. I open them and check how many are in there and if the sizes are close and if there are name tags on them and the blocks and if the postage is on the return envelopes. I read any notes in the package and mark the front of the envelope with the amount of blocks and the user name. Then I come in here and let you all know that they made it here. Then return them to the bins.
My mail comes in the late afternoon, so then it is time to start dinner. LOL!
It is fun to see the blocks all made up when I check them though. There are so many styles of blocks, that it is neat to imagine making them.
Soon I will be knee deep in blocks switching them out and sending them on to you all. We just need the rest of the swappers packages here to do that.

Well the mailman made a liar out of me this morning! He came a couple minues ago....
I recieved packages from Karen, katvert, and pjnesler today. I just love your blocks girls. I can't believe how many wonderful halloween fabrics there are!!
It is going to be hard to find a block in all of the blocks I have recieved so far that are not darling to swap out to everyone. (I hope you remember that the small blocks were voted in. You might get one in your packages.)
Wait until you see these blocks! They are great!
