The rest of the exchange included a quarter yard of Valentine fabric (which Carla commented on liking so much when she saw it on Ina's pinkeep just a few days ago - made me chuckle, knowing her own piece was on its way to her already), an LK chart off of her wishlist, a Sweetheart Tree needleroll chart and embellishment that just struck me as her style, a pack of post-it notes with her initial, some Altoids (so she can make a tin topper soon), some DMC Color Variations floss in Valentine pinks, and some classic Necco Sweethearts candy for the holiday. Her email to me was so sweet - I am so glad she is pleased. That pinkeep gave me absolute fits - it is still not perfect... but I had to leave it be before I ruined it in my centering struggles.
Thanks to all of you who left me comments and sent me wonderful emails, understanding about my lack of time for commenting in blogs. You all did make me feel better, but being the person that I am, I still do feel guilty.
I am off to do even more secret stitching ;-)

What a wonderful exchange and you had a great mail day yesterday!
What a lucky partner you have!! You did a LOVELY job!!!
My, you've been having such beautiful exchanges lately (given and received), you certainly do keep the mailman busy. I don't know how you get all that stitching in. Houses is looking great, it was nice to see the cow finished, as well as his little friend (I'm thinking a large mouse).
