Quickie snap (roflol) of my start on Snapper Year's April. This took me forever to start...mainly because of being nervous about placement. The border chart comes separate from the monthly charts and it is really difficult to tell if you are putting things in the right place. You notice I still haven't started that tricky border? Because it scares the living hell out of me! I'll get to it when I get up the nerve...
I won Mary's blogoversary giveaway on Colorado Stitcher. The giveaway was a lovely pair of scissors...but look what I found when I opened the box. Mary made the beautiful fob and the artist's trading card. Everything is in my favorite colors too! Thank you so much Mary!
Speaking of giveaways.
Edgar of Blacksheep's bit of the web is celebrating his third blogoversary and Patty of Hanging On By A Thread is celebrating her birthday with a giveaway. Good luck!
I am still collecting addresses for RAKs!
Thanks to all of you for the positive comments on my last post regarding RAKs. I've received lots of emails containing those coveted addresses, plus sent my own out a few times. If you haven't sent me your address, why not? No place is too far to mail. Don't be shy asking to be included! I am going to have such fun doing RAKs! A BIG SPECIAL THANKS goes to Hazel of Quietly Stitching and Lynda of A Cozy Little Place for Stitching for joining in on the fun. They are both seeking addresses for their own RAKs.
One RAK still in transit. This one isn't stitched, just a little something I thought my special person would like. It was mailed the same day as Becky's RAK but it has a bit farther to go!
Thank you for visiting my blog today!

OOOO very nice gifts!! I know that snapper border is scary! And it took me a whole month to do it cause I didn't really want to! LOL But you'll get it...just start at the corner and GO!
Borders are a bear, no question.
Great gifties!
Great start on April. Borders always make me nervous because it is so easy to miscount. Love the fob and scissors - those are some of my favorite colors too!

Snapper is lovely - am sure you'll manage the border, no problem. That's a lovely giveaway package. :0)
Looking good...know what you mean about borders, but I am reminded of the Waterboy...
You can do it!
What a nice giveaway from Mary--I especially like that sweet, little card! And you'll do great on the border, Sharon--you always do a beautiful job on your stitching :)
Good luck with your border!

Hi Daffy,
what a lovely giveaway you have won.
Speaking of giveaways, I invite you to join mine.
Borders always scare the peewaddling out of me. But you will do fine.
I love that scissor fob. I have made some "end" covers, but never thought of attaching them to the scissor fob like that. You learn something new everyday!
I'm sure you'll be fine with the border.
Nice giveaway gift.
That's a pretty fob Sharon. Lucky you!
Great start on your April Snapper. As for the border, I'm like you. I think it would scare the heck out of me or maybe I'd be afraid it would bite back, lol!
Congrats on winning - what a wonderful surprise!
oh, lucky you.....I'm emailing you about the RAK addresses too, I'm game! :-)
Catching up.
Love your Snapper.
Love your chicken
Love your RAK idea.
Must send you my mailing address LOL

Great start on April! Congrats on winning the giveaway. :)
Nice giveaway!!
Good Luck on the tricky border
You'll do just fine with the border, deep down you know you will :)
Nice giveaway you have there, the ATC and fob are really pretty.
I know where that other RAK went too, LOL. Thanks again and I've almost done one of the projects all ready, I just couldn't resist
Good luck with the border!
Lovely gift to receive!
I totally know how you feel about the border! I put off such things untill last if at all possible for fear of spending so much time and then having to un-do it all :)
Your RAKs are the sweetest things ever, what a wonderful and special idea to bring joy to some one. Your one great lady!
Snapper is looking good! I always leave borders until last...
Don't let that border scare you! Stitch it as you go then there's no issue about placement right???
What a great parcel!
Hi there. I enjoyed my visit to your great blog today. I am loving your Snapper Year's stitching. I look forward to seeing your April square. Your blog is so full of great ideas and inspiration. Thank you. I will be back.
Best Wishes from England.

I feel your pain. My LK flip-its and I are currently conducting negotiations about block placement & borders.
Congrats on your giveaway win!
I understand about it being scary to figure out the placement with those charts that don't come all as one - I can't tell you how many times I counted and re-counted before I finally started The Red Thread sampler. I finally put in basting stitches where the blocks would go just to make sure my fabric was going to be big enough!
