Hi all, !
Just wanted to bring this to the top, as Saturday is the deadline for getting the charms to me. I'm expecting to get one set in the mail today, unless the mail is running slower than normal.... and I've sent messages to the last two ladies to check with them... I can't wait to get these sorted and returned to everyone. If all goes as planned, and they're all here by the due date, I'll sort this Sunday and mail them back on Monday!!

I'll keep you updated!

Gwen

Joanne, I'm like you--- can't decide what to make-- and just to throw another idea in the mix, I saw a CUTE table cloth made with candy jars all around the edges! Adorable--- and perfect for a birthday party!

I got a reply from Kathleen yesterday-- and she's supposed to be mailing them today, so I should get them early next week! I'm going to get started on sorting this weekend and then finish it up when hers arrive, so hope to have them in the return mail by the end of next weekend if all goes as planned. I will let everyone know as soon as they're on their way!!

Hope all you ladies have a very *SWEET* Valentine's Day!!

YAY!!! Kathleen's charms came today! SO, they're all here! Let the swapping begin!!! Just wanted to let everyone know and I'll post again when they're on their way-- shouldn't take too long.

Just an update--- working on swapping this weekend. It's more time-consuming than I thought it would be, but it's going well. We had a couple charm fabrics that were duplicated several times, so I'm trying really hard to sort them really well. My plan is to not send anyone back a fabric that they sent in, and also not to send any duplicates. If you sent in 2 or 3 sets, there may be an unavoidable duplicate, but not very many. Also, I had bought several fabrics to swap, so there may be some extra charms for everyone... Anyway, it's going well, and I think you'll all be very happy with the wonderful charms you get back!!!

Hope you're all having a great weekend! I'm going to try to get these mailed maybe tomorrow, or by Tuesday at the latest! I'll post as soon as they're on their way!

I'm sure looking forward to receiving this package in the mail! Thanks for all your hard work on this, Gwen. I hope you are enjoying your weekend.
