Rec'd package from Faye

I rec'd a wonderful exchange from Faye a few days ago and didn't post yet. hanging head in shame...... i will get a pic tomorrow of it. been fighting vertigo today. grrr

Also, Jill your package is in tomorrow's mail, it was suppose to go out today, but the vertigo took over the day.

I'm Late...Again!

Sorry Karen! You deserve a gold star for patience! I had a huge exam last night and my life has been completely unmanageable for the past week. But I'm heading out today to pick up a few last minute things. I hate being late twice in a row. At least I'm consistent...

It will be in the mail tomorrow or Friday. And I promise it will be worth the wait :)

Hugs!
Kim

Autumn Exchange from Joan

Well, Joan spoiled me rotten in this Autumn exchange! She stitched a beautiful little Halloween sampler which she then finished into a box top. Inside the box, she tucked in an adorable pair of witch scissors. :) She also sent me an adorable little Halloween tin and a plastic handle tote filled with lots of Halloween goodies, including an adorable needle minder from Kelmscott Designs. I've been eyeing this little guy since it first came out a couple of years ago, so I was thrilled to see it in there. :)

Here are some photos (click for a larger view):

Thank you so much for such a wonderful exchange Joan!! This was my first personal mail at my new home, too. Everything else has just been bills so far. LOL

Melissa

Happy Fall Faye...

Your exchange is on its way!
