My pkg almost ready to send, too. Just need to work on a couple home-made goodies . This time of year is so easy with all the holidays and season changes. I've been away from home almost a month and can't wait to get the covers off the sewing machine!

Hi ladies, New here, Now since the limit is 10.00 you must get creative in sending other goodies. Gently used? possibly handmade? I just wanted to get some of ideas of some neat things you have sent or received.
Thank you for any ideas you can give me and any other newbies here.

Irene welcome! You will find that most of us don't stay within the 10.00 limit. If I purchase something then I try to keep it close to that amount. Especially with using coupons you can get "wish list" items for your SP's. I try to write on my info sheet a lot of information to make it easy for the person to be able to choose items for me. Some won't want used items, but me I loved them. I think everyone is happy with handmade items. I always send fabric, either what they are looking for, or something in their favorite colors. You can easily fill a package up if your SP gives you a lot of information on her sheet. Have fun, that is the most important thing.

My we all are quiet this month. Where are the clues, the hints, the building anticipation?
I've almost finished my package -- just need to find a couple of goodies from my stash to finish it up. I'll plan on mailing it to the far north on Thursday. Hope the poor baby doesn't get too cold in transit as we are still in the 90's around here.

I will be mailing my package this weekend (or Monday at the LATEST).
Been hunting for something she really likes.
Here is are a couple clues for my SP.
Between your address & zip code there are several of the same number.
You do NOT have an embroidery machine.

my package is on its way, should be there shortly...the amazon idea is a good one and I will start one....its hard to think up "wants" each month that don't cost an/arm/leg LOL I love home made things and if can't use put on the "give" table at guild...everything gets used that way...so many pin cushions can be used and have one in each sewing machine case LOL...if anyone comes up with cute little quick things to do...please put in a post...love the free thingies. thats my 2 cents for today...happy quilting
