    I just went back thru them again Smile every single one of them is a new to me pattern. You all did a great job in finding different things to send - an advantage I suppose of shopping all over the country one F/Q at a time Smile
    Thanks to each of you - you made this a worthwhile swOp.
    I certainly hope those I sent are all new to you also .. and I just realized something, when I took mine out of their individual bags, at the post office, to get them into the too-small TYVEK mailer I bought, at the post office,holding up a very longline of I also removed my name tags!!!
    I owe(d) Talia a thousand apologies.. I was the PERFECT book example of a swOpper needing adult supervision!!!
    Again Talia thanks so much for doing this swOp - it was fun.

    no happy dance here in Texas yet... but perhaps over the weekend or Monday - as I didn't pay for priority mail... Wink

    it doesn't matter "when" they get here,
    just as long as they GET here! Big Grin ~bonnie
