Feeling better

We just got back from Texas today and we enjoyed ourselves except my Grandpa got into a car accident the 2nd day we were there. But otherwise all went well. I went and got a manicure and pedicure....oh so nice. I also joined a swap called Dishrag tag the sequel. You can go here to check out the status of teams; http://yarnmiracle.com ....I am on team #22

Presents and more presents

When I finally woke up the day after we got home I found 3 packages waiting for me to open. One from Anne...I thought I already received my package from her but hey I'm not complaining.I received a magnetic notepad a skein of Sugar and Cream cotton and the a skein of Katia Jamaica cotton




Then I received my contest winnings from Donna. 2 skeins of knit picks, the Just Gifts book, 2 book marks, a little sweater and a cell phone holder. Then Drew took off with the Baa Choo book.

Then I received my Dog days of Summer Package from Holly in Alabama. I received a candle, a little dish, 2 soaps with sea creatures in them, a skein of cotton yarn, a skein of bamboo yarn, size 7 bamboo straight needles, 2 dishcloths along with 2 patterns, the letter A sticky notes, a set of blank note cards and envelopes,bath salts, a handmade soap with wood dish that she had Sharon make for me, and Chocolate.. my favorite Hershey's with almonds and Crunch sticks.


And here is the stuff she sent Drew. A bag of gummi worms, a thing of bubbles with Buzz Lightyear and a Spirograph


My thanks goes out to all of you!!!!

Pay it forward exchange.

OK I heard about this over at http://www.bassetknitter.blogspot.com while being a snoop and trying to figure out who has me...lol

I will send a handmade gift to 3 random people who leave a comment on my blog requesting to join this Pay It Forward exchange. I don’t know what that gift will be yet and you may not receive it tomorrow or next week, but you will receive it within 365 days, that is my promise! The only thing you have to do if you like, is in return pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog.


I will choose once I get back from Texas.

By the way the movie with the same name is AWESOME too.

POST OFFICE OF DOOM

Drew and I made the trek to the post office of doom. They are sooo slow. But we got the post office guy that gives out the free receipts....oooo can hardly contain the excitement. Wow I'm Snarky (Did I just make this word up??) tonight. But any who the DDoS package has gone out along with the KVVS package. One is going to North Carolina and the other is going to California. Fun. My KVVS spoilee wanted to go to California I believe....news flash Wisconsin is no where near California...lol. So I hope she isn't too disappointed.
But I'm getting really excited....4 days until Drew and I fly to Texas...Scary but Exciting. I've never flown before. yikes.
Oh yeah Wednesday I went to this meetup for the second time in Illinois and have met some great ladies to knit with....yeah mommie time for me....plus I met a lady who works in a yarn store...that Drew and I visited on Tuesday. Where of course I bought what else yarn and needles oh and a cool pattern that is a kinda larger version of the Mandy Candy Bag that I've been making by the boat load. So Drew picked out blue variegated sock yarn...so I will be making socks.

PS Go check out Cass's blog (link on the sidebar)...she has a contest going on. Pretty cool swag too...but I'm not entering because I've won swag 2 times in the last 2 months so I will let others win...Its only fair.
