Finally getting some time to try to catch up, but before I try to read the 35 or so pages I'm behind I want to post my board thank you to quiltymom. (I thanked her immediately when I received my package but am gonna try to post a picture >.)
I was lucky enough to have quiltymom as a SP for the second time. My package included a lovel panel; a pin and tissue holder with the breast cancer awareness pink ribbon (very special as a good friend of mine is about one year post surgery); a book of patterns plus a separate one; a nice set of notepad, pen and sticky notes with a doggies on them; two Christmas ornaments (I collect those); a pair of Valentine Day socks; a nice set of quilty note cards (my future SP's will be seeing those); a calendar; a box of tea; and, bubble gum balls. Missing from the photo is a lovely bag of chocolate covered pretzels. Okay, the box came Friday...seriously no chance that those were going to make the photo. I'll take quiltymom as my SP anytime.

Hypothetical question here to everyone.
IF you were the secret pal (or even as a RAK) do you have
a favorite magazine that you would like to? and would you like
a subscription to that magazine.
ALSO along those same lines, have any of you ever in the past
or present been members of QCA or AQS (Quilters Club of America
and American Quilters Society)? would you like a membership to either
of those?
I am a member to BOTH and love them both, PLUS all the magazines
I get as being members.
I am asking this because I was tossing the idea around in my (otherwise empty)
head tonight on my hour long drive home from work (lots of time to think).
It occurred to me that MAYBE sometime in the future I can "gift" someone
(or two) a subscription to either their favorite magazine or one of the quilting
clubs. I would do this as a sp gift or maybe even a RAK.
What are your opinions, thoughts and/or likes dislikes to my thinking?
A couple years ago I did that to 5 quilting friends from cafemom. They
all loved getting their subscriptions.

I've thought a couple of times about magazine subscriptions for my SP. Sometimes I get an offer of a free subscription for someone else if I renew mine. Not knowing what magazines my SP may already get I haven't sent one to anyone yet, but maybe our fearless leader will add what a question about magazine subscriptions to our fact sheets. I've wondered, also, when sending recycled magazines if I'm sending something my SP may already have.
Hint, hint...my SP, who should receive her package tomorrow, did include the magazines she receives in her information. :-)

More wonderful packages! We're sitting here under about 8 inches of snow! It is so beautiful, until it starts to melt and becomes dirty slush. That's what it does around here. Until then, I will enjoy!!

Do you have this magazine? It is the "Easy Quilts Fall 2011"
issue.

I am HOPING (hint hint hint Lori) that for the February sp swap
that I will get someone (on list "scrap list") as my partner so that
I can send them this magazine along with a bunch of scraps.
But I am also working on "building" scrap boxes to send off to some
people.
Yes I KNOW that we are still working on the January swap, but
I am already planning ahead and getting my box (maybe more than 1)
ready.
Happy Wednesday everyone.
