There were ruby headed bobby pins, a ruby ring, a beautiful heart key ring (which my cats love!!), a small tissue holder for my purse (oh bless you!), some red incense coils, a gorgeous new journal covered in red Chinese fabric, and a great card with two count-em two bookmarks! Hmmm, seems I'm missing something. Oh yeah! The book, "Ruby"!Kidding of course, I saw the book right off. Haven't read this and it looks great. Thank you so much for all of it. I don't know what to do first. Fix my hair, read the book, find the key ring (darn cats!!). Have a great day! Denise

Hi Everyone! Hope you all had a nice Easter!!! Remember to post when you get your packages...Almost time for another swapping....If you have not posted for March do so now...DabookLady

Hi ...I got my swap and it was great! Thank you so much DaBookLady Debb! I also sent my swap out to my partner. I'm excited for the next one! Kaitlin

I received a box in the mail today from Sandy that was full of such joy. It had a Fern Michael(one of my favorite authors) book entitled "Sea Gypsy",another book by various authors entitled "American Girls About Town",several bookmarks (one even handmade), a skein of yarn, box of soap petals,daily calendar entitled "1,000 Places to See Before You Die", a book light,some real pretty sea shell earrings, around the world earrings, charm, emeryboard. This was so fun to receive and to see how everything worked togethertoward the theme. Thank you so much, Sandy. I will enjoy this for a longtime.This was my first swap and so much fun I can't wait until the next one. What a great idea. Thanks again. Jayne

I received this wonderful package from Jayne on the 30th of March. I made myself wait until I got to the house before opening. The book was "Sam's Letters to Jennifer" by James Patterson, that I had wanted to read. She followed the theme so wonderfully. Jayne sent note cards in their own holder, magnetic kitties, as I do love them, to hold notes on a file or refrig, post its, one with a kitty and the other one with the prettiest pink flower. She also sent me a silver key chain with my initial and a flower on it, and a dolphin ornament for the rear view mirror of my car. I was so stunned as this is my first swap of anything. I felt like Christmas had come really early this year. Thank you so very much Jayne I love all the pretties. :) Michelle

Welcome Shawnee...

We have a new member to our swap!

Hi! THANK YOU SO MUCH Denise!! I received my book "Needled to Death" by Maggie Sefton and the bookmark today. That bookmark is really beautiful - I'd like to know how you did that. Looks like something I'd have to have a magnifying glass to do, but, I'd like to know how. It's really really pretty. It's even pretty on both sides! And the needles were a cute touch! As soon as I get my camera situation fixed I'll post pictures to share with everyone. Thank you so much! I can't wait to read the book. And, then if anyone is interested in reading this book and wants to "swap" I really like doing that. It's the only way I can justify to my husband all of the books I have!! After he built the sixth bookshelf I promised I'd stop buying new ones unless I swapped out some used ones!! Thanks again. You are such a sweetie. Sandy
