    That's too pretty! I thought I'd found a gold mine when I went to a store called Jenny Lynn's in McKinney. Upstairs is the sale room with trims. There's a whole display of trims. Some are still the 39 cents a yard ones from "a few years ago", and they're 60% off. Well, obviously some of you got there before me, cause what was left (tons of it, if it's what you want) was just not exactly what I was looking for. Did find some really pretty at the quilt shop, and hope to get some when the CQ lady from Kansas comes for the class on June 9. (I know...too late for this swap, but, will be fine for a future project). Local Fabric Shop to me is JoAnn's or Hobby Lobby or Wal-Mart. And, I'm usually on the run, or with Mama and just don't spend time looking at all the pretties. Maybe I need to pay more attention. Like those peacock's Nickilee got...where in tarnation did she come across those? Some of you have pretty little lacy fans on your pieces. Don't think I've seen those around here, either! Which makes me think...this is a nice cool morning and before it gets "yard mowing time", it would be a good time for coffee and a few stitches on your heart...

    Just a question about mailing these hearts. What are you putting them in? Or how are you packaging them? I've not done much of this stuff so am not up to date. Thanks!!!

    Zippybuns - ahhhhhhh... received your very pretty hearts - you did a wonderful job!

    Goaskmom - most of the hearts have been coming in together in one ziplock bag.

    Please ladies, sign the back of your hearts with your HGTV name and real name (if you want) and also put your name on the Zip Lock bag and the # of heart you are sending in.

    Reminder - Due date is June 1st - that is only 23 3 weeks away (how did that happen - where did the past 4 months go? Confused)

    Guess I'd better do a better job of asking. Either that or Nicki needs to "lay of the wine" Wink I really wanted to know I guess if you are just using manilla evelopes, or would glass beads maybe get broken?

    goaksmom, I mail my CQ swaps in large padded envelopes and include another padded (self addressed)envelope for my returned swaps.

    As far as I know they arrive safely.

    Hope this helps
