Pay It Forward from Sharon

Sorry that I have been gone for a while. My family is trying to get a few new things started. We got a membership at the YMCA and have been trying to go in the mornings to walk. I have teenagers who get themselves up for school so I don't have to be out of bed and ready for the day until 7:30am. Now with driving 20 miles to get to the Y a few days a week I have to be up at 4:50am. That is way to early for me. I am a "swing shift" person. Stay up late, get up late. So getting up EARLY is hard for me.

Sorry about the whining. LOL!!

I signed up under Sharon over at Vrooman's Quilts for the Pay It Forward 2011. She has already sent out my gift. I am so excited!! I love everything in the box. Thank you Sharon!!  

Look at this beautiful card. I love it.

Next was this wonderful Cross-Stitch wall hanging. Look at the cute houses and the quilt.

Then there was a sweet little metal hanger with a chicken in it. SWEET! A package of note papers and a pen. They are labeled, This Month, This Week, and Today. I will use them all the time. They are just right to help me keep things straight in my head. Then a Mary Engelbreit Pin Cushion. I love it.

It has the sweetest 3d heart and flower on the front.

Next is 7 fat quarters of some of the cutest fabric I have seen in a while. Makes me think of spring.

Here is a close up of the the little flowers. You can see the grid on the mat behind it to get the scale.

Very small.

Next she sent 36-8 1/2 X 8 1/2 inch blocks. They are all made out of light colors. I LOVE THEM!! I can't wait to make something with them. My mind is going crazy trying to come up with the perfect  project for them. Any ideas?!

Here are a few close ups of some of the fabrics.
