I've just returned from a six day surprise trip to Colorado to see our 'kids'! DH arrived home last Thursday and said, "How would you like to see the kids tomorrow?" So I've been MIA here on the forum since last Thur.
When I returned home I had a package from my SP "CloverPatch"...Megan! What a nice surprise to open such a thoughtful SP package. Megan read my list carefully and all of the gifties are just perfect for me! She embroidered a cat for my future cat quilt which I'm collecting cat fabrics/themed to go in the quilt...this embroidered cat will definitely be included in that quilt. A Santa kitchen towel...now I have a Christmas themed towel for the kitchen, a note pad with sparkles and my initial....love the sparkles, I should've been a Las Vegas showgirl but the body didn't cooperate! Just 'right' fat quarters for my stash, I needed blues and greens. MENTOS!!!! Love those mentos. A coffee blend that is sure to not taste like coffee...again Megan read that I like coffee that doesn't taste like coffee i.e. 'Foo Foo Coffee's' :0) A gingerbread soap...now how will I every be able to really use him, he's to cute? Peppermint Hot Chocolate which will probably be consumed shortly as it's snowing outside right now and it seems like the perfect mid morning taste treat. Megan enclosed a special ARMY dog toy for our little Doxie!
All-in-All Megan you hit this package out of the ball park for me! Even DH came in and saw the quilty goodies on the counter and said, "What a nice package!" So thank-you Dear Heart for being so kind and generous to me!

Onalee,
I want you to know I was truly sad that this last trip to Colorado
was not going to be long enough for us to get to meet and pay
a visit to Wooden Spools together.
I DO hope that your next visit will be long enough for us to "wreck
some havoc" in town or at the least to Wooden Spools.
Glad you got back home safely, and that your sp package was there
waiting for you.
Also glad to hear you got a RAK from Teresa.
I received a RAK yesterday also which I posted about including a picture
on the RAK post.

I found them at a second hand shop near my apartment building and at first ai thought they were the ugliest things i have ever seen, the more I looked at them the cutier they got but I don't think they will EVER be cute enough to wear!! I bought themas a gag gift, so beware secret pals of the future!! They could turn into the traveling cat earrings going into swap box after swap box never knowing where they will end up next........
