The remaining 10 questions for the Sweet Goodness holiday swap.
11. Do you have any pets, if so what kind?  Ha!  Do I have pets?  Two dogs:  Tucker and Lucy.  Two cats:  Taylor and Maddie.  Do the horses count?  They are Marge, Molly, Marshall, Zip, Casserole, Mariah, Scout, Dakota, Rudy, Jackson, Ben, Murphy, Little Hawk, and Sundance.
12. Are you a reader? If so, what type of books do you like?  I love to read.  Mostly magazines like Martha Stewart Living, Real Simple, etc.
13. Are you celebrating a birthday or anniversary in October, November, or December? If so, what day and what is the occasion?  No.
14. Do you collect anything? If so what type of things do you collect?  I collect craft supplies. LOL 
15. What type of things do you like to cook? Are you an appetizer person, cookie maker, dessert freak or a take out type of person??  I don't like to cook much of anything.  I do cook, but that doesn't mean I like it!  I'm a dessert and candy kind of girl, though I'm trying to watch how much of that type of stuff I eat.
16. What is your favorite scent? Is there one that you can’t stand?  Love fruity smells like pear.  Hate flowery.
17. What’s your favorite song?   This week it's "The Mom Song" by Go Fish.  I saw these guys last weekend at the MOPS Convention in Florida and they ROCK!
18. What’s the last movie you went to see at the movie theater?  It wasn't that long ago, but I can't remember what we saw!
19. What’s your favorite Candy?  Gummy bears, Hot Tamales, Charleston Chews...I sense a theme here.
20. Tea or Coffee or other?  Other.  Dr. Pepper all the way.

Blue + brown

I wish I could find yards and yards of these prints.   I dug them out of the scrap fabric bin at the thrift store.  I'm sure I'll never find more like them.  They are for Jackie for the Potholder Swap. 

The girls love when I do swaps

A sickly Katie felt well enough to partake of a few candies from Jane, my Pink and Brown swap partner.  I think there is a trail of candies from California to Iowa.  Perfect for Jane to follow if she wants to visit.  LOL  The candies were in the empty cellophane bag you see in the picture below.  What a fun package.  An apron!!, decorated clipboard, a pretty pencil, cookies, recipes, and embroidery floss.  Thank you, Jane!!

Goodies from Little Jenny Wren

Jenny at Little Jenny Wren surprised me with a package Friday as part of the Pincushion Challenge Swap. Jenny sent this awesome lady pincushion!  I have never seen anything like it.  Her entire skirt is a pincushion.  She looks tiny here, but she is more than 9 inches tall!  Her hair is far neater than mine!  Thank you, thank you, Jenny!
