That is why I have signed up for swaps - I just love getting fun mail verses another credit card applications & bills....
So, I joined a few swaps over at www.swap-bot.com and have had some wonderful partners mail me things. This swap was only $5 and perfect for newbies to sign up and test run swapping. One of my partners was from England and the other from Detroit.
Then I got another package that just puzzled me....I had no clue why or what I was getting...til I opened it and found a WONDERFUL little wall quilt made by Bren for the Stitchery Swap. Again, thank you Bren, you did such a beautiful job:
It was definitely a great mail day!!!
Just a few more pictures to share. We got the Paris Cats in browns last week in the shop and I immediately fell in love with them and begged (and paid) a fellow co-worker to whip me up a Swing Bag by Anne Butler.
And finally a picture of the sun setting yesterday. I do enjoy the sun setting over the hills and fields where I live. It was so hazy you could watch it without hurting your eyes:
I think I've overloaded you all on pictures this week...almost time for bed.
I am so glad you liked it. I read your list of favorite things which you posted the DAY I mailed it out. I thought "Oh Crap!" I could have done something so much more personal. Well you were thought of with each stitch!
ReplyDeleteI have to agree, getting nice mail definitely beats getting bills. If you would like another swap partner, we could swap fabric? I have some great African prints I can show you and then you can decide.
ReplyDeleteCan't beat a good sunset - I love it when the sky is red as the sun goes down.
BTW The cat bag is gorgeous - Wow!
You did have a wonderful mail call. Bren's Stitchery Swap quilt is adorable.
