A Wonderful Package Arrived

I was totally spoiled by Karen this year, and this last package was no exception!!  In addition to the wonderful package she also included a lovely 123 Stitch Gift card!!!  Here's a snap of everything that tumbled out of the stuffed mailer......

.... included with the lovely stitched ornament were some great finishing fabrics, two needle minders, a cute holiday pad of paper, some gorgeous scissors and a hot pad baking set!!  I immediately got the ornament on the tree......

Karen didn't know, but, this is one of my top 10 favorite Christmas Carols, so it makes it that much more special - Thank you so much Karen for a lovely year of super exchanging fun!!!!!  Have a Merry Christmas and Wonderful New Year!!!!!!

Feeling spoiled

Darlenes package arrived on my doorstep yesterday just as I was leaving for work. Of course I opened it right away, who cares if I'm late to work hehehe. Inside was an array of all sorts of goodies. Along with the cutest little scissor fob. Darlene thank you again for such a thoughtful package, you must have been reading my mind when you sent the beeding needles. I was looking for one last week to finish a project and could not find them in my sewing basket, so thank you :0) The pumplin bread, my hubby will appreciate that :) I hope fall is finding it's way into many of your states. We are having a bit of a heat way here in the Bay Area and I'm am ready for it to be back in the 70's can you say spoiled with my Bay Area weather?? YUP!! Hope everyone's October is starting off great. Take Care Friends!!

Fall Goodies Arrived!

My Fall Exchange from Diane arrived!  It actually arrived last week Monday =]  I'm really late in posting, so I do apologize, Diane.

Diane sent me the most wonderful package!  I have to really be honest here --- it brought tears to my eyes when I opened everything, especially the most nicest box.  No one has ever stitched me anything like that before; and I am truly thankful for such a wonderful partner.

Here's everything Diane sent:

Fall is my favorite season as well as the colors.  Diane sent some scrumptious fall colors from Victorian Motto - threads, chenille, and trims - all in the cute hummingbird bag.  Can't wait to use these!  Oh and the car freshner has been in my car since the day I received it -- love it!

Here's some closer photos of the box:

Thanks so much, Diane!  I hope everyone is having a great start to the Autumn season... Here in Arizona it's still in the low 100's.

A Fall Package Arrived

The mail brought me a package from my partner Karen and it is just super!!

Karen stitched and finished a beautiful decorative cube - along with some super goodies it was a wonderful Autumnal Package, thank you so much!!!!!

Autumn Arrival

Yesterday brought a wonderful treat.......

Look at that beautiful biscornu! And the bag of lavender.......mmmmm.....smells so good! I'm such a lucky girl with such a wonderful stitching partner!

Package is flying it's way to Jen

Jen, you should have your exchange package by Wednesday :)

I hope everyone is doing well. Anybody stitching on ornies yet? I need to get started, I planned on doing 1 a month at the start of the new year but that never happened. I guess I can start that again this new year ;)

Have a great day!

Another Monday's mail

I missed my mail lady yesterday (saturday), so Edgar your exchange is going out tomorrow in monday's mail. :-)

I hope everyone is starting to feel the weather change, etc. It has actually been below 100 here in AZ but suppose to go back up again this week, but not too high. You can definitely feel it changing a bit here too eventhough we really don't have a "fall", no leaves changing etc. :(

Monday's Mail

I didn't make it to the PO today, but rest assured Karen's package will be in the postman's hands on Monday.  Start stalking the mailbox!!!

Fall Exchange From Edgar

Greetings Friends,

Edgar's exchange has already arrived. 

I was so excited to come home and find the package on my doorstep.

Take a look at the lovely piece Edgar sent.  

He stitched Bent Creek's Autumn Row and Faye, 

the carolina stitcher finished it beautifully.

He included lots of Fall goodies in the package.  

Not surprisingly, the Ghirardelli chocolate is half gone. :-)

Thank you so much Edgar!
