Color me SPOILED

Yep that's right...today I received in the mail not one...but two, count em TWO packages from my Secret Pal. My very astute Secret Pal. I think one of my friends must be sneaking her hints or something, nobody can be this good....or can they?

First...two brown paper wrapped boxes....not plain brown paper...highly decorated by my sp...she addressed them to Mother, Friend, Knitter then corrected that to Knitter Mother Friend ha ha ha. Then under the brown wrapper....she made boxes...yep she MADE them...out of old record album covers....the first was the album cover to the soundtrack from Shaft! Gotta love it (and she tells me that after she cut up the cover, her man tells her it's selling for $60.00 on e-bay OH Crap!) And at that point when she could have had an expensive decorative box for herself.....she continued to fill it with goodies and send it to me....awwwwwe.

And the second album cover box is titled The Solid Bluegrass Sounds of THE KENTUCKIANS!


Very fun! Now....the contents:


Snacks: (she says she traveled the world over for my gifts...and by the packaging...it looks like it...or she lives near a Chinatown (japantown?) hehehe One cup of Hello Kitty biscuits with chocolate cream
(hey it just occured to me...are these cat treats???
too bad, they say chocolate, I'm eaten em)
One box of Pocky chocolate covered biscuit sticks....( a product of Japan), one box of Botan Rice Candy, with a free sticker inside!!! Yay!!! An eight pack of Marukawa Orange bubble gum...yummy also made in Japan, a package of much needed Miffy wet wipes... I'll need em after eatin all that chocolate!
Two packages of Coasters, one with a maple leaf on it and the other with a Sumo Wrestler on it woooohoooo! ;P

Fish....she sent me blow fish hehehe they are made of paper and you blow them up and hang them from a string....very cute! There's a red one, blue one, and a yellow one.
Knitting paraphenalia ... she's a sewer that one... hehehe not a sewer but a Sew-er. She made me two small project bags, see they are the perfect size to put a sock in progress or other small project in. And because she pays attention to detail, she knows I've been knitting socks, and just started on washrags. So she sent me a pattern for each, they are laminated so they'll fold and fit nicely in my small project bags. AND:

yarn... She sent me yarn...wonderful, glorious YARN....four skeins, count em 4! they are Stork sock weight, 100% cotton perfect for socks and or washrags!!! Imported from Norway no less.
Two skeins are in a beautiful turquois blue and one in bright pink and the other in light green...Tell me SP who told you that I have 3 gallons of green paint just waiting to go on the walls in my bedroom and bathroom that should go very nicely with the green yarn????

What a wonderful day!!! What a glorious Secret Pal!

Now please everyone...think good thoughts for my SP, she commented on my last post and said she's on a car ride across the country (assuming she's living on the west coast like I am supposing she is :)) with a small teething boychild, a dog, and a man who likes to drive through the night! But, staying true to form she's not dwelling on her problems, she tells me to watch for postcards!!! Is she a great spoiler or what? Wish for a safe trip and low humidity for her...she's going to N.Carolina ....OMG can you say sticky?

Thank you Thank you Thank you sp, you're the best!
