What a surprise!!!, Thank you Nickilee for the wonderful gifts. I just walked in the door from my vacation time with my DH and had to get to the mail first thing. Okay I know I'm a day early, but it must be Oct 6th somewhere
I will post a pic a bit later after I get things put away. Here is a list of what was in my package: A beautiful cq block just waiting to be embellished, perle cotton (various colors, yummy fabric squares, measuring gauge, silk ribbon, small bag with embellishments, an assortment of lace motifs, a book on cq stitches and a very pretty tin to keep them all safe. Are you trying to get me hooked on crazy quilting?

Thank you again, I love everything. Hugs, Dianne

Here's the pic of my gift, still enjoying going through everything.

Now I have to wait until Monday to open it. I'm such a little kid with pachages, but I'll wait until Monday. It is calling my name.

The mailman just pulled up to the door with a box!! I know it is from Quilter Jen, and since you aren't in my string block swap, I am just going to wait til Tuesday to open it. Thank you!!

Happy Birthday November ladies, and a late one to you October ladies!

I want to say thank you to McPatches for the great birthday box. What a treat it was to go through everything. McPatches sent me three packages of beautiful trim, Crazy Quilt playing cards, a box of Holiday fabrics, a summer bouquet ribbon embroidery box kit, a piece of sheer white fabric with gold, a beautiful piece of gold and white lace, assorted crocheted doilies and trim, three pieces of black organza with various applique, Victorian Crazy Quilt Ornaments pattern, Crazy Quilt
Tree Skirt pattern, needle and pin guide leaflets and last but certainly not least a beautiful wall hanging with thmbles and it was quilted by Jayardi. Jayardi your quilting is unbelievable. I just can't believe your talent.

Again, thank you so much for my gifts I just love them. I will take pictures as soon as my battery charges.

Happy Birthday Julie ! I hope your day has been awesome. I know your gifts from McP were wonderful b/c she was my secret big sister one year and she spoiled me terribly rotten !!!

CBQ - I hope your birthday is wonderful tomorrow! It's the same day as my twin daughters - who are making me older & older by turning 28 tomorrow!

LOL Joy, happy birthday to your DD's! Kids sure have a way of aging us, don't they?

Thanks for the b-day wishes! I am having an awesome day!

I opened my box from Quilter Jen and am totally blown away! Girl, you know me!!! LOL First I found a tea wallet with some great tea bags inside, 2 wonderful red cardinal things; a card holder and a wool ornament (love them!) all wrapped in a gorgeous FQ. Next I opened a bag of almond M&M's~ yum!!! The next little gift was wrapped so cute I couldn't imagine what it was~ a bundle of 10 inch squares of 30's solids! Just wonderful! There was a 'button tin' filled with my favorite thread. The next thing I unwrapped was a travel mug that has an adapter so you can keep your drink hot in the car~ what a cool idea! Then I unwrapped two new to me books, and both look really interesting. I can't wait to sit down today and read through them. The one is a lesson book in color and Jen had no way of knowing this but I know one of ladies who was a 'student' in it! How cool is that?! The other one is birds and I just love every project I peeked at! I saved the best for last~ a fabric roll.... see the next photo! Jen, I am just speechless! Thank you!!! (hugs)

This was the last gift I opened and it left me speechless! One of our board BOM blocks that Jen finished into a wall hanging!! Hand quilted!! Thank you so much! I will definitely treasure this forever!!!

Oh, and I just love your hand made card too! You are very talented! Thank you again! and again!!

No problem- I just glad you enjoyed everything!

Enjoyed?! I love it!!! Thank you so much!! I am off to have some M&M's and tea~

OhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhJoy! Happy Birthday! I hope you had a great day and it was filled with lots of love & hugs!

Your gift should be delivered today - your SSBG dropped me a note and said to be on the look out!

I received: Christmas McCall's Quilting Mag that has a CD with 7 Christmas projects on it. Some of Nicki's beautiful laces, 2 more applique motifs, organza ribbon, and another ribbon that I think is handdyed A pill bottle of little oval pearl beads, a handmade purple pincushion (cute !), beautiful purple beaded necklace & earrings (love), 2 little notebooks for my purse (def needed),, a pair of embroidery scissors(!), some rotary blades, a big dark chocolate Orange (yum), some specialty beads that are brown & cream in color and are rocks & shells (did someone tell you that I an dying to do a cream colored cq beach block??? AND, OMG, an awesome cq teapot ornament !! I LOVE IT - I LOVE EVERYTHING !! I couldn't have put together a better present for my own self

Thank you so much Pat for the card and the love & thought you put into my gifts. They are treasures.

OK, I must fess up....there were also some Almond Joy's and Butterfingers but alas, they did not make it through the night !! They made great appetizers for the upcoming holiday foods & sweets I'll be stuffing myself with !

Again, thank you Pat and many many thanks to a precious Nicki for hosting our swap again.

Ughhhh, I can't ever resize a pic for this board. If I ask Denise nicely she will do it for me So, stay tuned.....

Joy, I am so glad you enjoyed your birthday box.It was so much fun putting it together.

Any November B'Day grils have any pictures of their Birthday gifts they want to share?

Denise is going to resize my pic for me to post. I can update you as to the status of that Dark Chocolate Orange treat. I didn't really think I would like it to start with b/c I don't usually like fruit & chocolate mixed but I thought I should at least taste it. Yes, it is all gone now. Thanks eversomuch Pat for introducing me to another chocolate that I LOVE !!!

I am glad you like your goodies.It was fun getting it all together.Did I tell you there are no calories in the chocolate orange?
Ther orange absorbes all the cakories in the chocolate.

Thank you Denise for posting my pic - AND teaching me to do it for myself !!!

I used the fall kitchen cloth for Thanksgiving and we should be putting our tree up this week. I'll for sure be hanging my lil teapot in a special place!! Thanks so much again - I love everything

Joy, Isn't Pat just the best - what a great bunch of pertties! i've had the joy of having her in my life over the past couple of years and know without a doubt that you'd fall in love with her.

Oh Yum! Don't tell me that is a real cake?? If it is that's a real Birthday cake.

i first want to apologize for not posting sooner.. right after my Thanksgiving company left.. my brother in law passed away.. and we've been up to our ears in.. "stuff".. and traveling to Georgia to deal with it..

my wonderful Birthday secret sister was Wiley!!.. and she did a wonderful job.. in my box was.. a gorgeous Christmas tablerunner.. (which is already on my table!).. a cute little apron.. a seam fix tool.. (did someone tell you that i make lots of mistakes or something??.. well.. they're right.. i do.. so that will come in very handy!).. some wonder clips.. (which i wanted to try out so you saved me buying them myself.. thank you).. 2 charm packs.. one that was of Christmas prints.. which are beautiful.. and the other of Batiks.. which are my favorite fabrics to use.. a FQ of the most beautiful gold Christmas print.. (i've been collecting gold Christmas prints so that's one more for my collection).. and it was all wrapped in a really pretty rose fabric...

i can't thank you enough Wiley.. it was a joy to get this package..

i wish i could post a picture but my camera and computer just aren't co-operating.. if you took a pic of it Wiley.. could you post it for me??..

Hi Shey, I'm sorry about your loss.Hope you and family are doing ok.

Glad you liked your package and I'm sorry I didn't take a picture cuz my camera is acting up(or maybe it's me) as well. Just post a picture one of these days if you can. I think in the future I'll take a picture, just never thought of it before now.

Good Morning everyone. Can't believe I made it one more year! My SSBG is none other than Kentuckey Sunshine! She arranged for a gift certificate from Marshall Dry Goods, one of my favorite places to shop. And I have to keep an eye out for snail mail, you know how mail travels from so far away.
Trish, you are the best. Thanks so much, you made my day!!

Wiley, you deserve it!!! I am probably as excited as you for you to recieve your snail mail package, I have been making little things all year with you in mind! Ther are actually 2 snail mail packages in transit, one from the states and one from OZ...enjoy!!!

Happy birthday to all the December ladies.

Ohhhh Wiley.... So very sorry I missed your Birthday yesterday - seems like I'm always running late no matter how hard I try. Anyway..

Happy Birthday! I hope you had a wonderful day - enjoy your prezzies from Trish!

Big hugs!

Yesterday was good. When the other packages arrive I'll post a picture now that I have figured out how to post pictures.

Miss Bluesnail, you were just in time! I was getting ready for a trip (Mom's having surgery tomorrow)and I knew I would be gone for a while.
I logged on to mention I would be gone so my ssbg would not worry about why I had not posted and the door bell rang.
Everything in the box was perfect. I love the bags you made.
This is what I got, a big sturdy tote bag with pockets in a lovely red, A small purse. with a surprise inside, beads and charms. Also a snap bag with lots of notions inside. Scissors, buttons and thread. A rope bowl, note cards, note pad, calender ans dish cloth. More beads and 5 Asian fat quarters.
What a generous gift! Loved it all. Wish I could stay home and enjoy it more ( I am really dreading this trip). I am taking my snap purse with me. Perfect for my IPod.
Thank you so much. Beats getting a christmas tree. That was what I always got as a child. The tree would never go up until my birthday and that was always what I got for my birthday. lol Picture to follow.

Your package sounds great. Happy Birthday!!

Hope everything turns out ok for your Mom.
