Do you remember this?
My runner for the Christmas Table Runner Swap held
at the end of 2011!
Much to my delight, it has finally been delivered
personally to Annabella, the intended recipient!
Susan @ Canadian Abroad was one of the Mamas who
organised this swap.
So when the runner was returned to my home in the
New Year, she offered to play postman!
It was handed over just recently when Annabella and
Susan met after the Fat Quarter Retreat!
Annabella knew she was receiving a runner but
thought it was a substitute,
not the original!
Even the little Christmas decoration was there!
Better late than never, hey!

I wonder if Annabella celebrates "Christmas in July"
like some of us do 'downunder'?
Happy days!

It's beautiful!! She must be delighted receiving such a pretty runner! Glad you were able to get it to her! I've had trouble with the mailman too ... Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI saw the look in Annabella's face when she opened it. That was Si sweet of Susan to take photos. It was worth the wait.
ReplyDeleteRead Annabella's blog post, and wondered if you were "The Susan" - boy, you certainly get around!
ReplyDeleteEventually this mama got it all put right. Phew! It is an absolutely gorgeous table runner.
ReplyDeleteSo glad it got to it's destination eventually - it doesn't bode well for her luggage on the way home though - Annabella might want to keep it in her handbag!
ReplyDeleteYay!! It's such a beautiful table runner that I'm sure Annabella thinks it was worth the wait. It's kindve cool that it got to go to the FQR!!!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad this beautiful runner finally made it to Annabella!
ReplyDeleteThe runner looks amazing. How great that she finally got it, even with all the travelling it did =D
