DiA Swap!

I got a package from Canada today! I knew it was coming, but it was sooo exciting to actually get! I took a bunch of pictures, which I will upload somehow and show them here. Included in the package were:
  • Some BEAUTIFUL handpainted yarn
  • Dragonfly and amber stitch markers
  • A dragonfly necklace
  • Dragonfly buttons
  • A beautiful felted bag with a dragonfly and amber pin
  • Stationary with a fleur-de-lis on it
  • Tea!
  • Shortbread cookies
  • Dragonfly washcloths
  • and a very sweet card from the woman who sent it
I feel soo absolutely spoiled!!! Everything is SO nice!!!! The pictures just don't do it justice. I wish I could have recorded my opening it, I did it in the living room of the house and the girls were so confused/jealous. They didn't know why I was getting a box of goodies from Canada, but they thought the gifts inside were absolutely beautiful!!!

I feel SO spoiled!!! =D I can't wait to figure out what to do with the yarn, there's about 1000 yards of it and it's a really thin (light) yarn so I might try to use it as an attempt at lace =D

Eeee!!! Yay! I feel like knitting again!!!! And just in time for the semester to start ending so I can continue my habit. =D Oooh, I'm so grateful for my wonderful gifts!!!!!!
