I know I have a few squares to come in from a few swappers (Tracey, Sandra & Louise). So if you reading this can you please get them off in the mail ASAP as they need to be here by our next quilting date. Thats when the sewing starts and I want to make sure they are added to the quilt!! Thanks ladies!!!

Wow!!! My secret pal did it again! This months theme was 'Bath Time' and my Secret Pal went over the top!!! Each piece was individually wrapped in light blue tissue paper and had fish stickers all over, so each was a surpirse! In this month's package is Channing's first towel. A very cute & soft Winnie the Pooh hooded towel. Next I opened the soft Ducky Bathtime book. I havent opened it to read it yet, but I'm assuming it will be very cute!! Next, the bathtime toys!! What cute little guys, and the net to scoop them up in.....maybe tonight I will have to have a play in the tub!!! Also Channing scored in some gum tooth paste and a finger brush. I sure hope she has no teeth or I'll be in trouble!! Then next was some bathtime scrap booking stickers, which I cannot wait to use!! And do you notice the ladybug candle and little ladybug on the couch. Well my Secret Pal sent those last month too!! I'm glad that I got 2 candles now, so I can burn one. Also that little ladybug.....I'll tell ya, Hunter and I have so much fun with that little thing. He'll put it on my shoulder and scream so I jump and the ladybug goes flying or I'll throw it at him and he screams....we played that for hours one night!! Everytime he comes over now he asks for the LADYBUG!!!
And of course my Secret Pal included a card. It is beautiful, baby blue with a dolphin on it (how did she know I have a dolphin tattoo). Anyways, in the card she writes that she hopes Channing will love the water/lake as much as I do.....I'm sure there will be no worries there SP!! I want to THANK YOU Secret Pal!! It's amazing how someone can be so thoughtful to someone she's never even met. Once again I am overwhelmed by your generosity!

We will be meeting this Wednesday to finalize the pattern and start doing a layout. It will be probably a 5 hour shift and then we do have a FULL day planned next weekend and the sewing will begin!!
Next I have to pick out the fabric for the backing of the quilt and the boarder. So I will have to make a visit to the fabric store and spend HOURS deciding (but I have an idea). I cant wait to see the quilt all done!! I will keep posting pictures as we go, but the most exciting picture will be once Channing is all wrapped up in it!!
P.S- We will be making 2 quilts. Both quilts will have a piece of everyone's square, but one will be a bigger quilt for when Channing is older and the other one will be a quilt that she can use everyday now (stroller, crib, China, ect...).

What a beautiful jacket. It would most likely NOT fit Channing, but who cares if I can get it cheap enough. I think I know lots of people who are having baby girls!!! So to make the story short...last night I was the proud winning bidder of this jacket. I stole it for $13.01. WOW....I'm excited!!! I sent the seller an email for them to let me know the shipping charge and then I would pay for it. This morning the seller sent me an email and here was their response:
Hello there.I'm really sorry to write regarding this metter at this time.Actually the wining price is too low.As you know, I started this to making money but, I never get the money from ebay.I sold two items on ebay and I lost money either.However, this time,,,, I lost money alot.Frankly, I bought the item at 40% of from retail. It is almost $70.Could you please cancel this transaction?I hope you understand my situation....I also have 2 yr old boy... and I don't want to lost my money anymore...Please understand me at this time..Thank you and May God Bless You!regards,
OKAY....I dont care if you lost money. Then dont list the item with NO RESERVE!!! Now you know a little of how my response went like. So has anyone else ever ran into this problem before? I still havent heard back from the seller, but I will keep you all posted!!! Do I report this seller to ebay now or wait a few days? Hmmm....if you see it re-listed on ebay, let me know and dont bid on it!!!
