The one lady even asked if she could take it and peek and rewrap it for me!!!! I nicely said sorry and hugged my present and left....quickly!!!!


    Good for you!!! That would have been tampering with N.P. Mail.....

    Got the center portion of my homemade thing for my SS done. And uhm.. SS... I'm sorry.. it's the first thing I've ever quilted, and I used metallic thread and I haven't ever used that before and I used this decorative stitch and I didn't realize but now I know that the metallic works better if you stand it upright and so uhmm.. yea.. it's cute.. but it could be better but I am not ripping it out sorry. You'll have to live with my imperfections. It's still really cute And I should finish this soon. Just got a few more quick stitches to do and it'll be done and the stuff can go out. I'm hoping to get it out no later than the 10th

    OH, Oh, Oh, I saw your SS piece on another thread here. I'd love it - hope you have my name. I don't mind all the loose threads or whatever - it sure was purtty!

    I mailed my package to the west of me. I think it is as much fun to plan and package and send as it will be to receive one. I may be underestimating my own response! We'll see.

    I thought I had enough wrap left from last Christmas, but it turns out there is not nearly enough.

    I will have to go shop for gift wrap.

    When I was at the post office sending my ornament I asked about shipping options. My SS maybe getting more than on package. The lovely ladies at my post office said to bring in all the gifts and my boxes and they will take the time to weigh them out to make it work best postage wise. Good thing I have more than one bell to put in the parcels.

    No Dreamer it is not going to you, you have enough already.
