Wow O Wow!!!!!!I just went and got the mail!!!! I forgot about me getting a swap.duh. I got a firmy from Wonda Lou. You all know I love homemade. She made the cutest pumpkin out of fabric. inside is a roll of toilet paper.(lol) It's sooo cute. Also a really pretty circle keychain. It has blue lilly's(?) embroidered on white fabric,incased in clear plastic. and she sent a package of sewing notion themed buttons,I just bought some too but these are mostly different from mine.Wonda also made a cute little flower pincushion that sets on top of a spool of thread.the flower is orange fabric with tiny black bats.I also got instant decafe coffee,sugar-free werther's candy, cocoa,2 more spools of thread,flat flower head pins,a crochet hook,patterns.hand lotion,a 14 in 1 measuring gauge (very neat and looks handy),and wraped with some really pretty white lace was 5 pieces of fabric.some has little kitty's on it.Most of the fabrics are turquoise.That is my birthstone.I guess that is why I love it.Wonda thank you soo much for the very thoughtful gifts. I just love it. I hope you can post a photo.I just can't seem to make it post.mary

SP with the PO Box - Did you get a chance to check with your post office today? The tracking number doesn't say anything new; just that it was delivered on October 07, 2011, 9:03 am, in **********, ** #####. If the package didn't fit into your PO Box (and I doubt that it would), hopefully they've got it behind the counter to be picked up.

"♪♫♪ I got a firmy ♪♫♪", from Sarah in Ga. and it is awesome
The box was so heavy and when I opened it, I let it sit until my husband came in so he could see it too. His first words.
"Oh no, more material." Too funny, you know we ALL want more fabric!
I got gorgeous, handmade note cards. I write cards to soldiers and friends every week. There were Nautical pillow panels (love), 6 rolls of pretty yardage, 2 paisley FQ, dishtowls, 2 hot pads, buttons, note pad (which I need daily), frog/flower hanger (so cute) and a brand new book by Thomas Steinbeck that I can't wait to read. There is even a bookmark. WOW! I LOVED my swap package. It was awesome. Posting photos......Wait for it......wait for it.

The DC# says:
Delivered, October 07, 2011, 9:03 am in (city, state, zip code)
Big hint: It's a PO Box. Maybe the package wouldn't fit and needs to be picked up at the counter? :?

Thanks Walk-n-roll. You sent me a great package! I didn't even pick up on the hints until I looked back today. I love it all and hope I didn't forget anything.
Two pals and two great packages in 4 days! I love everything I received.
Here is what I got from Diana aka Walk-n-roll!

This is a pic of the beautiful tablerunner - her first- with one of my favorite drinks on it...wine bottles, corks, etc.. Also received a talking book by Fern Michaels, Vanishing Act, plus 2 packs of chocolate and Werthers.

2 batik FQ's, a black FQ with gray kitty silouettes from a shop that I like located in her state. Also there were small bundles of fabric showing my favorite things in my favorite colors- patriotic, St Patty's day, tea, wine, sewing machines, candy, chocolate bonbons, poker cards, pink and yellow fabric.
