Thanks Bunches Faye!

Faye's Exchange Arrived Wednesday!

Me being the bone head that I am posted on my blog but forgot to post here. Do you ever wonder where your mind is? I think mine takes way too many "coffee" breaks.

So,

Without further ado.....feast your eyes on this wonderful exchange Faye sent.

Faye stitched Tis Red by La D DA from the JCS ornament issue and finished it into a cutie patootie pincushion with the most unique trim. She included some great goodies in the package. A stitcher's journal with matching note cards, her favorite batting, finishing fabric and ribbon, fibers and organizer bags.

Her "green" theme will be well used. I appreciate all the time and effort you put into this exchange Faye!

Are You Ready?

Tomorrow is mailing day! I can't believe how quickly it came. The good news is that I finished my exchange piece just in time. The bad news? I wasn't able to get all the "goodies" that I had in mind for the exchange. There's always next time....

I should have my package in the mail tomorrow so the mailman stalking can begin! I do hope my partner enjoys her package!

Happy Stitching!
