I am so excited, I got home from work today and found a package in my door!!! I got a big book full of Joan Elliot greeting card designs, 28 count DMC natural linen, some DMC Color Variations floss, postcards from California and lemon drop candies (made from CA lemons of course)! The note was from Lucy in California, but I'm not sure of her forum name.......Starchild202??? Lucy, whoever you are, thank you, thank you, thank you! :D :D :D I'm so excited to stitch with my new stash!!

I have been having some blood pressure issues with my pregnancy and haven't been able to get to the board.
I got my stashmas gift from Wandatoo about 8 days ago. It was so wonderful! It came on the perfect day. I had been having a hard day and I was so thrilled to find it in my mailbox. Everything is perfect. I'm dying to start a few of the quick ornaments. I actually have the envelope right next to my bed(where I have had to spend much of my time lately :wink:) and I dump it all out every night to pet it. LOL The bookmark is so lovely. I *love* purple. My ds 7yo, loved the postcards. He thinks he spotted a water park on the one. He has been wanting to go online to check it out to see if he is right, but haven't been able to yet. Thank you so much, Wandatoo! It really did hit the spot. I will try and post pictures sometime this week of all my goodies if I can. So many awesome things. This envelope is packed!

Well the postman FINALLY came! (been too much snow for him apparently!).

I got my Stashmas gift - all the way from the US!! With a bit of detective work I think that my Stashmas sender is Kimberlina! Thank you so much, I hope I have that right??

Well here is my stash - there is a wonderful little pin cushion (so apt as my old one is one I made in school in about 1978!!) with a beautifully stitched chick, and beautiful turned corners, very impressed!

Image

And here is the rest!

There is a lovely chart for Halloween, which is fab, two lovely dragons in a kit, with their own little frames, two lacy and aida bookmarks, some hardanger fabric, and some hand dyed creamy fabric evenweave, and some DMC variagated thread, some Jewel effects thread and two skeins of the most delightful hand overdyed floss, sugar plum!

Image

Am so thrilled with the lot, what an exciting morning I had!! Thank you so much.
