This first swap was an ornament swap. The key word here is ornament(singular). Tammy went way above the call of duty. Everything is so thoughtful. Notice the snowmen ornaments have my girl's names on them..darling. The blocks and star look so prim and nice. And the stitched ornament says...
That's what I write at the end of each post. How thoughtful and sincere is that? I love everything, Tammy. Your generosity gives me hope in the goodness of people in this world. Thanks so much.

This next swap is from Kimberly. We agreed to swap just a runner, and Kimberly too went above the call of duty and sent this hand-painted ornament, too. I LOVE IT!!
She also sent this darling runner. It is hand-quilted. I so appreciate all the work she put into it. It will look just perfect in my home this Christmas. Thanks so much, Kimberly.
This just came today. It is a swap I did with Jo-Anne. We decided to do wall-hangings for our swap. Isn't it great? Jo-Anne is very talented with machine quilting. A talent I would love to develop. Jo-Anne, could you move here and teach me? The colors and design of the wall-hanging are perfect. Thanks so much, Jo-Anne.
Jo-Anne also went above the call of duty and sent this adorable, needle-punch penguin ornament. I'm sure it took a bunch of her time, and I don't have anything like it. I love It!! I am so impressed with the talent and generosity of the ladies I have met in blog-land. It has been a joy to get to know each of you and learn from you. I am blessed.
Be Nice to People,
Julie

You hit the nail on the head with the reason for organization - it keeps me sane!! LOL
I use canning wax or unscented wax. I have a real problem with most scents so I have to be careful what I use.
Have a great evening!!
