bought a book for a book swap
the same day i bought groceries
lost the book
a few days later, found the book in the
fridge with the groceries
some swap packages were in the trunk
some in the car
some got moved from one place to another
the bag for Spring Felted Exchange & ITE 4
were 80% assembled
the goodies & the unfinished bags were put
with the mailing envelope
the plan was to take them to Atlanta to finish
then to mail
since other envelopes were sealed to be mailed
they got sealed & mailed as well
Tiff came down from Chicago
and was an MAJOR help
received some stuff in the mail
from swaps
they got packed up as well
i still have bruises up & down my legs
