Happiness in a Box

I got my second PRGE package yesterday! First, a bit of background on how that day went. Heather had been up and down all night, we didn't get to sleep until 3am, and she didn't wake up until nearly 11 btw. I spent the morning paying bills and balancing the checkbook. Always fun. Not to mention I was missing Mr. Shad particularly badly. *sigh* Anyways, I was in a mood. Enter Super Pal! AKA Dawn. She is really a great pal, and this box couldn't have been more perfect unless she had found a way to put my hubby in there! It made me so happy that I teared up, actually. Anyone who knows me will know just how fitting these gifts were for me. Oh, and Dawn, it's okay you couldn't find the Turquoise Jeans. I love the Ingrid's Blues, the Claudia Handpainted is so soft and squooshy! Had to resist temptation to cast on! Must finish current projects! Here, have lots of delicious pictures. I didn't want to make a mosiac because then you couldn't see anything.



What you are seeing here is: a skein of Universal Deluxe Chunky Tweed in Ocean, some yummy-licious sounding hot cocoa mix (Green & Black's Maya Gold), a mug/cup in which to put that cocoa, a PotC loofah/squirter, a journal (ps, have I ever described my affinity for journals on here? I'll go find some of the ones I have...just you wait), a cheshire cat keychain (CUTE!), Claudia Handpainted in Ingrid's Blues, there was a cute little bag thing that mug was cozied into it is adorable, some iron-on patches, and temporary tattoos. I assume those last are for the crazies. If not, it's too late, I already said they could have them. :) Seriously Dawn, you rock. Thank you SOOOOOOO much!

Sometimes You Feel Like a Nut...

and if you're one lucky gal like moi, sometimes you get an awesome package from your secret pal, and mine is the fabulous Ms. NutScraps! Look at this rockingness:


Where to begin? We have an uber-cute graphic flower notebook, some oolong tea in an awesome package, some KILLAH bamboo yarnage, a vintage yarn cutter, asian plum candies (delish!), a truly fabulous hello kitty MARSHMALLOW pop, a cool little vintage candy tin, some kind of squishy purple thing that will come in so handy on blah office days, Prozac Nation by Lauren Slater (she even checked the ole Amazon.com wishlist, y'all!! we are talking serious awesomeness here), and a funny little tapestry pillow. A delicious mish-mash of goodies, indeed that might not have been if the post office had carried out its dastardly scheme to steal muh package!

And of course, she included some more crack for muh boy... he's lolling in a nip-induced coma right now, and I am laughing at him. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Ms. Jennifer! You're awesome indeed!
