Jan. Secret Pal..COMPLETE

[mommyquilts]

Thank you donnacrazylady! You rock! My kids were even 'oohing' and 'ahhing' over my package. The FQ's and charms are really nice, I'm saving my purples and blues for a quilt that I can keep. The cotton scented candle will disguise my stash in my closet! lol The sticky notes and note pad will definately be handy, as I never seem to get my phone messages! The best part (besides the rolos) was the pot holder...I had that same fabric but I used it all for a scout quilt that was raffled. I couldn't find it again, and was very sad. I sure didn't think to put a note introducing myself to my SP, so I will gladly steal your idea for next month. I feel so lucky to be a part of this forum!

ps. i'm not sharing my candy,

Thank Ann! I got my gift in the mail yesterday and I love it. Megan loves fish and is excited about that little jumper. It will fit her this summer to so it is perfect! Thank you I love the wall hanging, I am going to hang it under my tea cups and coffee mugs. Of course I loved the chocolate too

Michelle, I am happy to hear that you received your gift. I was worried that the jumper would not be a good size so I am happy that she loves fish and that your girls will be able to use it.

I got my January secret pal gift today...Thank you Deb. I received 4 FQ's in my favorite colors. and a really neat design mirror to help me audition blocks before I sew. Not so much unsewing. Love this...Now on to February.....Lets see what state do I send to this time????

Grammie I am so glad your gift FINALLY arrived! I am so disappointed lately with the mail service! I have never had trouble with the post office until December and since then it seems like every time I mail something out it gets messed up!

I am happy you like the mirror. I too love gadgets and thought this was neat. I am glad you like the FQs!

mommyquilts----THANK-YOU SO MUCH and a thank you to GP who got to see it before I did (It made a detour from CO to Georgia before heading to the West Coast)
I received wonderful scrapbooking papers and stickers to add to my "other" stash and am already thinking about layouts to do and the Fat quarters are lovely..thank you so very much! You did a wonderful job of selecting items and since the paper was travel themed it just wanted to travel a little before arriving in a huge box on my porch

and...if you are a SP who lives north of me and haven't received your gift don't worry you will before the end of the month it is in the hands of the usps. Hope you like it....

sewcarolyn, your package arrived yesterday! (I just never had the opportunity to get online.) I like the way you titled it 'Sweet Dreams.' ;o) Carolyn made me a cute pillowcase with fabric that has sewing notions all over it. (And with French seams on the inside so there are no raw edges!) She made a cute coaster with sweet treats on the fabric (like pie a la mode and cake and lemon bars--yum!) which will have a 'home' next to my sewing machine. She included a quilt pattern that looks like a roll of film zigzag-ing across the quilt and a note about herself.

Thank you, Carolyn! I enjoyed opening my package! I definitely plan on having some sweet dreams!!

Hmmmm...just wondering if anyone had me? I wish I hadn't signed up for next month. I was really hoping this year would be glitch free.

[sewcarolyn]

donna glad you liked the little gifts....and hope you do have sweet dreams

sadiedaisy..my gift took a long route through Georgia on its way to Calif from Colorado so maybe your gift is on tour too

[Michelle06H]

Well I am sorry you feel that way sadiedaisy, I tried to run things as smoothly as possible but I can't mail everyone's gift for them. For Feb. you have a new hostess and a new partner, maybe things will go better for you then.
