Thanks Betty! It's been VERY VERY cold here this past week, and I've been fighting a nasty cold to boot - bleh! Supposed to get more snow and cold temps this weekend too. Today, I walked into work and it was about 13 degrees - felt like a heat wave after the cold earlier in the week!
I hope your package has arrived by now and that you like all your goodies. :)

Betty, I am the slowest partner in the history of partners! I do hope you can forgive me!!! Your package went out in this morning's mail and is coming to you via Priority Mail, so you should get it in a couple days. I love all the wonderful goodies you sent to me and hope that you will enjoy your package as well. :)

Carole, thank you so much for the beautiful table runner quilt I received today. I know that you made it and it is wonderful! You are one talented lady. Also, the delciious cookie in the owl tin was perfect as were the extra large paper clip (I became addicted to those as a teacher (now retired)) and the magnet. The magnet is pretty enough to wear as a necklace! The owl card was so pretty and the fact that it can be framed is wonderful. I really enjoyed everything. I am glad we were partners.
Hugs,
Portia

I got my package today...yay!! Thank you, Stephanie :) I love everything...I thought it was super cute how you put pumpkins all over the inside of the box, so I tried to get a picture with the pumpkin box in the background! I'm going to use that idea for the next box I send :) I love the pumpkin deco...and the cute candle - especially the maple leaf lid ;) and the cupcake linders...the note cards and pad...the cute little pumpkin button craft...the pen, socks, pot holder...thank you so very very much!! I had a super time swapping with you!!

Ding dong goes the doorbell and I am looking at my watch and thinking, Wow, must be some little ones Trick or Treating early. I open the door, no children....BUT my swap box from Diana!! Trick or treat for ME!! Oh gosh, Diana, you outdid yourself and totally spoiled me!!
The little bucket was packed full of adorable magnets, napkins, kleenex,kitchen towels, chocolates, stickers, a tiny pumpkin candle, Maple flavored coffee, wooden cutouts and a larger wooden pumpkin and sign.
Gracious, what a fun surprise and Thank-you Diana!! I will enjoy all of the goodies you sent too. My husband immediately spied the chocolate so we broke into the little pumpkin foil balls!@#!!

Linda, so glad you had a picture of the pumpkin wall hanging you made me and were able to share it on line. honestly I need to learn how to post pictures some day. It is so cute! I am glad your package arrived safely. I painted the pumpkin and did not want it to break in shipping. and those almond pumpkin pie candies are really good ( as long as you are not allergic to nuts). As for town size I think it may be about 150. everybody knows everybody, it was an old mining town on top of a mountain. several other little towns around the mountain top. Its an area where people walk, stop to chat. exchange goodies from their gardens, and baked ideas when the lady folk try a new recipe, all in all a nice town. Except if you were crazy hours an need to see the postmistress. LOL
fall and pumpkin wishes to you

WOW! You overdid it! The mail just arrived and I got my package from Danyel and I love it. She sent a ceramic pumpkin (I can use it to hide candy - though I will know where it is. LOL!), a pumpkin candle, a pumpkin candy dish, 2 handmade note cards, 2 Pumpkin flavored tea bags, Pumpkin Pie Almonds (can't wait to try those!), a microwave baked potato bag in a very neat pumpkin print fabric, pumpkin salt and pepper shakers, a hand-stamped thanksgiving bookmark, and some matchbook nail files. And a note on another handmade notecard. Everything is so nice. Thank you, thank you, Danyel! Here's a picture.

Thanks, all, for the nice comments about the wall-hanging. I love creating things, and don't always know how they will turn out; this pumpkin turned out cute. It's not large - around 10" x 12", and I thought the twine and small branch was a great way to display it. Now I need to make me one. LOL!

Thank you Danyel. I'm glad you got the package and are enjoying my creative wallhanging. I enjoy putting things together, and love scrappy quilting. :-)) I will post a picture of the wallhanging since I took one before I mailed it off. You must live in a small town, too - my town is pop. 598. LOL! Our PO closes for the lunch hour and is not open on weekends. I will be on the lookout for the package.

Linda, my box arrived safely I just did not get to pick it up until I think it was Thursday. Out post office is only open from 9-12 ( in the morning and with my work schedule it is a race to get there, once a week to pick up any thing that does not fit in the little envelope box) it made the anticipation that much greater because I received the notice and thought it was for me and had to wait literally days to pick it up. I so enjoyed my box's contents. The pumpkin wall hanger is being carried every where I have went as I have showed it off to friends. the orange jar opener is in the drawer for handy use and it will be used my old one is in pieces. the recipe cards on the recipe stand on the stove for experimentation this weekend when I am off. I will use the wonderfully smelling tarts then also. thank you so much for being my swap partner. I was able to mail out your box on Thursday also ( had 10 minutes to spare before they closed ) so I believe it should make it to you by Monday ?
pumpkin wishes

Jami,
Received your box yesterday. Love the pumpkin recipe holder. My hubby asked why did the pumpkin have that wire thingy? I quickly showed him with your recipe card what it did. He was impressed! Dying to try the recipe and I love the pumpkin candle. Like I told you, love anything pumpkin. Thank you so much. Love it all!
