Happy Surprise in Yesterday's Mail

For several months I have been participating in a mug rug swap with a zany bunch of happy-go-lucky quilters I met online.  This is the first swap I’ve been a part of and I was totally caught off guard when this package arrived in the mail this morning, not from my current swap partner, but from Ida and Irene, the “swap mamas.” 

 

In addition to the eyes of Texas mug rug, my squishy goody pack included an emery board, scissors, Christmas fat quarter, trims, a packet of hot cocoa mix (we’re in a cool snap right now) and a personalized birthday card.  What a nice treat.  Thank you very much, Ida and Irene!
