Thanks Mr Postie

Last week my swap gift arrived from the lovely Melody from HERE.
We are in a swap where the gift this time was our own interpretation in the use of a dresden plate block. Mel made me a sweet bag with a lovely "dresden" on the front and a mini dresden on the back. Mel also included lots of wonderful accessories as well... and sadly or yummily all those chockies are no longer around...
Thanks Mel... for being a wonderful swap partner... & lovely lady...& hugs go to Shez & Peg too for organising.

We were hit by an electrical storm last week too...which wiped out my pc and then can you believe it... my laptop died too!!! The latter is now up and running so I can post more easily and have access to most of my email address' and swap information. Thank goodness for the IPad... my saviour!!!

I have listed the 51 Christmas in July swap names on the sidebar... I'm waiting on postal details from a few ladies.... BUT if your name is NOT ON the sidebar then please contact me asap.

Love your bag Mel made for you. Mel did a great job. Oh I am so sorry you lost your computers. We have had that happen to us. It is no fun.
Hope you have a great day.

Great bag - bummer about your computer issues. We had a similar thing and lost our tv, set top box and surround sound system, not happy Jan!
