Woo hoo, so far, I got yoyo's from, Debbie, Catherine, Sandi, Jan, Leah, Jenny, Cathy and Marcia - all different and all just super great! You gurlfrenz, it's makin my heart smile - I just keep looking at them, then I put them away, then I take them out and look at them all again. It sounds silly, I know, but they're making me smile inside out.

yipee! Got some from Diane today - very nice! Three more to go - then I'm starting on my
vest......can hardly wait, been thinking about how to arrange the colors, maybe keep everyones yoyos together, or maybe not - will probably write whoever sent me the yoyo on the backside if I don't keep them all together, have to think about it some more.

Mine will go out tomorrow!! I plan on taking photos of each batch of my yo's and then making a little scrap book of them and listing who sent them. I may also add a few snip it's from this post!! I also plan on putting a picture of the finished project in the book. This is my plan!!

| Bridgette, that's a really cute idea. I haven't decided yet what to do with mine. I want to send thanks to Aunt Jenny, Patty, Debbie, Cathy, Catherine, Sandi, Chris, and I didn't put the name down on the card of the person who sent the quote about "smelling like dirt" along with some pretty floral yo yo's. Please let me know who you are so I can write it down. Thank you everyone for the pretty, pretty yo yo's. This is so much fun. I love connecting this way. |

I'm loving my yos. I keep looking at them during the day, too!!
Thanks to all y'all!!!...... Diane, Leah, Janet, Patty, Debbie, Jenny, Cathy, Sandi, Bridgette, and Chris. I picture in my mind all of us sitting in our special place at home or waiting at a kid's practice just stitching away for each other.....for gals we haven't even met, yet! Every time I look at a yoyo, I'm touched in my heart to know you all took the time to stitch them. Thank you!!
Blessings
Catherine

| I've marked the back of each yo yo I've received with a little bit of embroidery floss. One color for each girl on each of their 5 yo yo's. I just took one stitch where it wouldn't be seen and then tied it. Then I wrote on each note sent with the yo yo's which color I used for that girl's yo yo's. Now I'll always know who sent which ones. I'm just mixing them all up in a doll size scrap quilt which will hang on my wall in the living room with the rest of the quilts. This swap was sooooo much fun!!! |

I have to get to stitching all my yo yo's together. After next week, when school is done for the semester - I will be able to take a breath and work on all my stitching and crafties for the summer.

I did a quilt top with the charm squares (the 6" ones from our first swap) and the yo yos from the swap...I will post a pic later today..I think I will add borders to make it a little wider..then it will be a nice generous throw size.
