My wayward July SP package has arrived!

[donnacrazylady]

A couple of years ago I started ordering makeup from Sheer Cover. They send a box every few months, and would charge it to my bank account. Then I called them and said I wasn't using it up that fast, so please send it farther apart, and so they stopped automatically charging me and would put the bill on the box. Well a while back, I got another white Sheer Cover box and set it aside. I was debating whether to just send it back and stop ordering from them. A few weeks went by and I realized I hadn't sent the box back yet and they probably wouldn't let me return it, so I would have to pay for it after all. And a few days after that, I got another Sheer Cover package in the mail ... which seemed weird that they would send another package before I paid for the last one.

So - what has all of this got to do with QIAD? Debi must also get Sheer Cover, because it turned out the box I had all this time was from her and not Sheer Cover at all - it just happened to be sent in a Sheer Cover box!

I couldn't believe my eyes! It has been here for some time and I never even realized it. Awkward!! I don't know exactly when it arrived. It was sent in July, but I don't remember seeing it until just before we took a trip in the fall. And I was thinking, I need to return that when we get back from our trip, and then it got 'lost' when my husband cleaned up around the computer. And a couple of weeks later it got found again... and forgotten, and then finally that new package came...

Well, anyway... THANK YOU, DEBI !!!

Debi sent me Christmas in July. There was a beautiful Christmas tree panel with lovely 'glass' ornaments on it, three Christmas fat quarters (one red, one green, and one white), a bag of Cherry Cordial Christmas M&Ms (mmmmmmm!), some flower stickers, a bookmark with a quilt design on it, a wooden pressing tool, a little sewing kit, a little compartmented box for tiny things, a finger pincushion, and a Christmas card. I am really looking forward to using the finger pincushion and the wooden presser thing. And eating all the M&Ms......

Debi, thank you for everything! I love my SP package from July. I'm just sorry it took so long to discover the familiar box wasn't full of make up.

And thank you again to those of you who sent me fat quarters to make up for my package having gotten lost in the UPS system.

It may not have been Christmas in July, but it is Christmas at Christmas-time. Thank you, Debi.

My goodness, that is too funny! Glad you got you package after all!

Oh, Donna, you sound just like me! We could be twins!

I am constantly trying to clean up and straighten, put things away. The problem is every time I clean, I lose things. I put them in specific places so I won't lose them...then I lose them cause I can't remember where I put them.

That sounds like something I would have done.

I sent a birthday card to my nephew in August. It came back moved, forward time expired, return to sender. Well, I've been holding this card meaning to contact my nephew for his new address. Now, four months later, I'm ready to mail Christmas cards and I go to ask him for his address and I am just now realizing that the "return to sender" sticker actually has his new address printed on it. DOH! Not sure why they wouldn't forward it. I am such a dunce!

I would forget my head if it weren't screwed on!

I'm feeling more and more at home here! I could have written that post!! Those close to me know that the "safe" or "special" place I put things always means lost forever because I can't remember where that new spot is!!! The safer the spot, the less likely I'll just happen across it again. I'm so glad this story has such a happy ending. You must both be enjoying the glory of this moment. I know I would be.
