    Wow! Makes me glad I live in FL, (NOT boasting, just saying, I grew up in Michigan, and lived a few places where I had to deal with snow, cold and ice, and then one day decided, No MORE!, I'll take heat and humidity any day :mrgreen: )
    Hugs to all dealing with this weather.

    It makes me cold just looking!I think we are supposed to be a clear and sunny 60 today. I could try to box up some sunshine to send.

    I came home last night after working a double shift to find this lovely package waiting for me. I couldn't have been more excited. Thank you debumphress! I love the selection of browns and the patterns, I can't wait to find time to tackle them. I may put the movie in tonight and wrap up in a quilt and watch it tonight (we are suppose to get more snow tonight). The black and white and purple are spoken for alread and I have plans for the charm pack. I'm glad I just got my machine cleaned, looks like I will be doing some sewing.
    Thanks again.
    ps. hope you have a wonderful birthday!

    I forgot to post Wednesday that my secret pal's package is on the way to her. She might have woken up to something similar Suzanne! Hope it gets to her with no delay. Sorry for being so late but things just happened in January! I hope to be back for the March swap! Hope everyone has a great weekend! Hgs, Mary B MS

    We're outside of Dallas and got 7 inches of snow on top of the 2 inches of ice we already had. Haven't had mail delivery or open post offices for 4 days now!! I am REALLY missing south Florida where we lived for 23 years before moving to Texas a few years ago!!!

    I said I would post pictures of what Cindle sent me later so I'm trying now. I had to take a few pictures beings I'm trying to take pictures in bed. I broke my knee. My driving my sewing machine knee. I'm more upset about that than driving my car.
    Its not something I recommend to anyone.
    I'm going to use the 100 5" squares to learn to sew with my left leg. The fabrics are beautifal so hopefully I'll learn fast.

    I just hope I am doing this right. I did receive my package from Blossum. I received a couple of quilt block patterns. 3 fq's of fabric and about a yard of a blue/brown dot fabric. I have always wanted to buy this type of fabric but have never been brave enough (thanks for the push to experiment. :D ). Also received teddy bear fabric pattern to make a stuffed bear hugging a heart. It is so adorable!! I can't wait to make that. I a beanie baby teddy bear and a cinnamon/apple air freshner.

    Thank you for all the wonderful goodies Blossum!!! These swaps are so fun.
