January Secret Pal--mail by Jan 25, 2010--post mailed and received here

Nancy from Colorado, I got your heavy little package today. You packed a lot in that small box! I looooove M&Ms - how could I not love them since they have Cupid on the package. I have always wanted one of those little booklights, so I am looking forward to using it. The fat quarters are perfect colors (and the butterflies are very cute!). The long little silver thing puzzled me at first, but then I realized it was a retractable seam ripper that fits your hand - soooooooo cool! It's the taking out seams that makes my hand cramp up, so now when I mess up I have the perfect tool. ) Thank you so much for everything. My day has started on a happy note!
Donna

P.S. To my own SP - You are not forgotten. I'm just slow getting back into a routine after being out of town for a funeral most of last week.

I got my secret pal gift today from Kristi, Oh I am so spoiled! She made me an apron with cute snowmen on it. How did you know I needed an apron? Also a couple of patterns for fun quilts. a beautiful leaf print fabric and a package of hair clips for quilts, and a cute heart nail file, and a bunch of treats! Oh and the lodge look candle is perfect!!! I LOVE IT!!! Thanks so much. I think I may even use the clips on my hair. I will sure enjoy everything. thanks so much, Vinae
PS. thanks for the letter and the photo. It is so nice to see a face and read a story of who you are.
PS. My husband and I ate all the candy within hours, and I wore my apron to cook supper and I put the candle on the table. It was a wonderful night. So wonderful!! Thanks again

Donnacrazylady,
So glad you got your package, I was really puzzled as to what was
appropriat for this exchange. I got you something else that hid in the bottom of my purse, so I will be sending that on too, as soon as I can get an envelope to mail it in. Hopefully Friday.
Nancy

I received my package from Vinae Reeves. It did indeed come by way of angels. The tape only covered the city and state where I live not my name or address. If it had been ripped off or the buckets of rain got to it...it would have come back to you. I just love Angels.

What an awesome surprise to receive a sweatshirt I have been looking at for many years but just never got around to getting it. Nope it has nothing to do with quilting but it is PERFECT! It will definitely keep me warm in spirit when I remember who it came from whenever I wear it. Thank you soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much.

CAROL - Your SP gift is going in the mail tomorrow. Sorry for the delay but with the rain last week I have a tendency not to go out plus my DH picked up one of the items for me this past Monday when he went into town unfortunately by himself cause I had Grace this week. He couldn't find exactly what I was looking for but did come back with a different style of it so I sent the receipt just in case you wanted a different one which is totally cool with me. I hope you enjoy the mix of items I sent.

Blessings to you all.
Teresa

Hi Emily aka quilter_1012 thank you so much for your secret pal gift I will have fun learning how to machine applique now that I have a book that shows me step by step how to do it and the other book is great too and the machine needles are always in short supply around here.. I am impressed that you are doing the exchange at your age!! This is a teenage girl doing the right things... you should be commended just for that!!! You go girl!!

Hey ladies - Remember, if you can, post pictures of yourself with your SP packages. I'd love to "see" who you all are and what you got! This has been fun. Even though I havent rec'd my package yet, my SP has hers and I've enjoyed reading what others have rec'd. Post your Pics if you can! Thanks, Kristi

TeresaK, I am so glad it got there. I don't know what happened to the package, but I am so happy it made it. I am glad you like it. I don't normally get that kind of thing, but since you posted your t-shirt size, I thought I would do that. I hope it keeps you warm. We certainly are freezing this winter over here. Enjoy! Vinae

I received my package from Kathy (kathysquilts). I got a
snicker bar (yum)
a bag for storage made by Kathy. Perfect for marking pens, etc.
3 absolutely beautiful fat quarters
10 notecards with envelopes
Star quilt stickers (24)
Very much needed note pad
magnet, that says opportunity never arrices it's here
pattern for a flag banner, that I will probably hang in my kitchen
a beautiful card

Thank you so much Kathy, I love everything.

How dumb can one person be? I had the finger pin cushion on my finger that Kathy made. It sure will come in handy. Now I won't be continously sticking my fingers.
