Thank You Jill - Pincushion Swap Package

Jill hosted a Crafty Bits Swap Spot Pincushion Swap and she was my partner. I was blessed with this stupendous package!!

I mentioned that I love Russian Nesting Dolls and look what she crafted, just for me!  This pincushion is so delightfully sweet that I can't stand it.  Plus she crafted this sweet tin to match and it's filled with buttons.  She sent me HOMEMADE zucchini relish with a tag full of good ideas on how to use it, knitted dishcloths (which are the BEST), embroidery thread, an adorable strawberry patch, fancy straight pins and the most perfect notecard set.  WOW -- I'm one lucky gal.

And repentant - I'm late with my own box out but will post photos once she's received it.  I hope I make her smile as much as I have been!

Arrested for Neglect?

Okay, I wasn't arrested but I'm GUILTY!  I admit it - I have neglected my personal blog!!  Sorry friends. I have lots to share with you soon - crochet projects, new aprons, recipes, and more.

I didn't even share my new apron swap yet - TODAY is the last day to register for the "Spring Fling" flirty apron swap.  If that sounds like fun, RUN over to the swap blog and register quick!!  I have a lot of sweet little giveaways ready to go in that swap, too.  One right now, a $15 gift certificate from my own business, Thirty One Gifts.  Tweet or post to enter!

Have a great day and I'll be back soon!

Fun Friday Questions - Please Comment!

Here's a fun getting-to-know-more-people MEME. Leave a comment here and then stop by the other blogs and say Hi. Follow if you like or not, but definitely leave a quick comment please! I love reading them!!

1. Are you a neat sleeper or a messy sleeper? I sleep very neatly, staying in my little box. Of course, it helps that I'm constantly fighting for real estate with the great dane/mastiff, manly hubby and an occasional child visitor! I just hold still and hang on to the side of the king-size mattress so I don't fall off!

2. Fill in the blank. I wish I was more healthy! I've been working on my weight and overall health for years. This is the year - thank you Mamavation and SparkPeople!

3. What is something that you wish you had been warned about? How much I'd miss my parents once they're gone and to not waste precious time.

4. What was the best thing you ever found at a garage sale/flea market? My hubby bought me a beautiful sewing cabinet for super cheap and I adore it!

5. If you could have any meal brought to you right now, what would it be? Since I'm starving, anything! I'd love a healthy breakfast waiting for me ... refreshing smoothie, asparagus omelet and fresh fruit salad.... yummm!

And, just a quick reminder about the great price I found on the Gruve body monitor ... through Sunday, August 8, you can purchase The Gruve and a one-year online subscription for only $99! I liked it so much, I'm an affiliate! Leave a comment if you decide to try one - I ordered MINE Wednesday and it's already on it's way to me!!

AND, just to let my swappers know, Flirty Apron Swap Back to the Future partner emails will be sent after work tonight -- I finished the matches LATE last night. The 36 of us will have a BALL!!!
