I've been off the computer for a few days so am catching up on seeing all the nice packages and reading everyone's comments.
Quilting magazines -- old or new -- would be a great surprise. Always fun.
I have always been a bit of a packrat, never passing up a bargain -- why buy one if you can buy two -- kind of gal so I am having fun sharing bits and pieces.
Didn't get my package in the mail until today. Got to the post office and realized I left my note at home. My package is headed toward the Pacific Ocean to a gal who, surprising enough, wouldn't turn down fabric, even if it isn't her favorite color. Sorry pal, for the lack of note, but my screen name is on my return address. I wouldn't have a chance to get to the post office again until late in the week so figure mailing with no note is better than not mailing. Note will follow.

SP lemme tell you this, it may look like a coupla color packets exploded in your package when you get it, but they didn't. it's just that everywhere i looked i saw those colors and they were whispering "buy me". so i gave in and bought them.
i was reading up on my package's destination and it appears you're in a small town. i sure hope it's a friendly town. i was reading through your posts to get to know you just a little bit better as i put your package together. you seem like a very kindhearted woman with lots to share.
i also included some of my hometown in your package and something sweet to enjoy that is only made here from a small unique family business, though they ship throughout the country. i told one of the owners that i wanted to send you this special package from their business, he was thrilled to know that.
sorry for mailing late it just took the things i ordered some traveling time to get here but again i do hope that you will enjoy them all.

PS will post a photo of THE dress when I get one - it is gorgeous. 8-)

Received my package from Lawson's mugs today but my camera isn't working. I took a bad fall last night and landed on it. Neither me nor the camera are working today. Thank you for all the neet things and where did you find coconut m&m's?
