It's been over a week since I've been on here. (Sorry.) But I can finally tell everyone what MarthaJ44 sent me.

Martha, I got TWO packages! You were waaayyy too generous!

Yes, I did get the package from QIAD, and I love it! I have always wanted to get Eleanor's Trip Around the World, but it was such a surprise to get it in the mail when I didn't order it. :o) And I was really confused because all they wrote on the order form was that it was from my 'forum secret sister.' It was Monday or Tuesday when we checked the mail and found the package. But it was the Monday or Tuesday AFTER another package was hand delivered to my house!!!

On the Friday before Mother's Day, a gift bag of goodies was left by my front door by Martha! I'm so sorry I wasn't around to answer the door!!! After putting two and two together, I realized she lives north of Sacramento and must have been headed south to Fresno to visit her daughter - and I'm smack in the middle off Highway 99. I'm only a mile from the freeway, so she brought my SP gift straight to my door. :o)

Martha, you really went overboard making sure I was spoiled this month. She made one of the Mason jar pincushions and filled the jar with pins. There were some charms and 2 1/2 strips from her fabric, a couple of transfers for quilt labels, an Idea Book (catalog) from Close to My Hearts stamp company with lots of great ideas for scrapbooking, Avon lotion and lip balms, some M&Ms (mmmm), a couple of other tiny things, AND a ready-to-sew potholder with a hand-embroidered Sunbonnet Sue on the front!

Oh my! Martha, are you sure you weren't playing Secret Santa?! You really know how to put a smile on someone's face! Thank you so much!!!
Donna

I have not forgotten my Secret Pal. I have a bag of goodies, including a homemade item that at times did not want to cooperate with me and I ended up taking out a lot of stitches and re-doing, but I have decided it is ready to be sent. I just need to get to the post office. (I have a terrible habit of not paying attention to the clock, and then the PO is closed.) I will do my best to make it tomorrow (the 25th).

Beth - You are not belated. Birthday is today and I am having a great day talking to friends and family and playing with Cotton.

Traci - Thank you for the birthday blessings - I always did like the older men - LOL - more mature :) My DH is 9 years older than me. The only thing we disagree on is he is stuck on 60's music or NASCAR talk radio - grinning. Every once in a while I will stick the station on country and he will leave it there until someone steps on the cat's tail - ROTFLOL!!!!

Tina - THANK YOU SEW SEW SEW much for my Birthday Gift. Can you see the mile wide smile on my face. You have indeed sent me HUGE HUGS and Lots of Love :) I posted a longer thank you in the PM you sent me.
