Okay Ladies! The last buttons were put in the mail yesterday. Two days after my Mum left I was told I had bronchitis - I just thought my asthma was acting out :-0. I am on the second round of meds but feeling better. Sorry to be the one to hold things up and missing the opportunity to get the buttons out before Kelly's vacation. As I can tell from Kelly's words everyone's buttons are worth waiting for :-)???? Has anyone living in a small town noticed their post office cutting back on hours? I went to ours Friday to post buttons and they closed an hour early. Went back on Saturday and again closed an hour early - missed the tiny sign with new hours. Sign of the times - sad. Again sorry about being late.

I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion.

Kelly,
Would you be able to post a photo or two of all these wonderful buttons before you mail them out?
Just reading along and they sound so lovely.

I am an ASG member. In our summer issue newsletter there was an artical with some sites on buttons. They also were promoting two button books:
"busy with buttons" and "Warman's Buttons Field Guide" they say these books can be found at your local retail book stores.

Hey, All the buttons are packed up and ready to go! I will make another trip to the post office in the morning. I hope you all enjoy the as much as I have! Thatnks for the information about the button sites and books, I have always wondered about buttons, they are so cute and pretty, My next swap will be a themed one, I m thinking "Fall" colors. Thanks again for making my first swap so fun and rewarding, you all have been so great!

I got my buttons!! I love every single one of them! Kelly came to my house herself and delivered them. I think I am going to try and find a big ole frame and display them all in it. They're too pretty to take them off and use them. I hope I can come up with something really cute.

Thank you so much for doing this swap, Kelly. It has been fun. You are a good "swap mamma".

Ladies it is amazing that all the buttons are presented so differently and yet in the same breath so similar. All are wonderful bits of love. This is the first swap I have been in and what fun I had thinking how to put the buttons together (had lots of time for that...smile...) and now more fun wondering just what wondeful things will become of these sweet buttons. Thank you all for your gracious gifts and thank you Kelly for hosting such a wonderful swap. Enjoy the rest of the summer ladies!
