Its here! Its here!

I was SO excited to find the package notice in the mail - and then my camera decided it wanted to not turn on.

Grr. That is SO frustrating!

Two trips to the K-M repair center later, I have a camera back - and I have been DYING to post these photos!

This was the only one I got before the camera went cuckoo:



Everything was so pretty wrapped - but I wanted to show my knit club and ripped them right open :-)

First off, the fun stuff:



Yum! Regia and new needles!



Then the stitch markers, of which I ALWAYS need small ones. For lace, for socks, these things are the bestest!



Allitrya went above and beyond and found me a little Lucky the dalmatian from 101 Dalmatians, my favorite movie ever! She is one awesome swap partner :-)

She also got two bags of sugar-free candy for me, which, unfortunately, didn't make it to the camera shooting. Needless to say, they were very tasty chocolates and mints :-) (DH said thanks for the mints - those are his favorite)



And the grand finale......





That is the most GORGEOUS bag I have EVER seen. My entire knit club was superbly jealous and wanted to know how I had got it. I love it and am SO glad to have had Allitrya as a partner!

Woohoo! I've got it!

Yes! And it came with two zipper pulls and its AWESOME. Best movie ever!

Dollar Store Exchange / Life in General

Well, this exchange has been interesting. My partner is from the Netherlands, so I'm making her a couple things and trying to send her a bunch of unusual stuff from the US.

Mom and Dad want to go to Michigan later this week, so I'm taking Thursday and Friday off of work. Hopefully I'll get to stop by the Library of Michigan!

I got to see the puppies this weekend. My goodness, they're little ladies now! Nearly nothing remains of their cute baby faces, and in their place is soft, muscular adult ones. I'll have to update my pictures!

I'm trying to learn how to do that "picture from a photo" trick that everyone seems to do in photoshop. I think it'd make an awesome blog header!
