A picnic swap

As I said earlier, Stacey of Sheep in the City was my swap partner for this Special Swap.  The theme this month was Picnic.  Lynne always picks the best themes!  Look at the fantastic package that Stacey sent me...

                          

First of all, click on the picture of the envelope to see her clever artwork.  It covered the outside of the box and was on the card, too. I just loved all of her little drawings!

And isn't this such a nice package?  She included green laceweight yarn for Ene's Scarf in the Scarf Style book.  It's a beautiful scarf and I'll enjoy knitting it.  I've been wanting that book for a while now!  And do you see what I can use?  Some Lace Addi Turbos!  I've been warned that they are very sharp!  The frog is adorable and when I unzipped him I found the ladybug tape measure (too, too cute!) and citrus stitch markers.  And now I have my very own sheep PEZ dispenser!  The chocolate lasted long enough to be in the picture, but it was soon gone.  And one of my favorite things is the lovely bucket.  This is going to look fabulous in my sewing room.  No, wait!  I'm going to put it on my nightstand instead.  I have a bowl with pens, paper, the weather radio, etc. in it.  This will look much, much prettier than the bowl I'm using.  (Stacey said she'll soon be selling these buckets on the Internet.)

Thank you, Stacey, for such a lovely, thoughtful package!  And thank you, Lynne, for organizing such a fun swap!  Our next theme is Movie Night and I know it's going to be a blast, too.

Right out loud, I really don't believe in luck, but...LUCKY DUCKY!!!!!!! Oh, Beth! YOU GOT STACEY! Don't you simply adore her sense of fun? What I have missed by being out of town for a wee bit and by having the computer on the fritz for a teentzy weentzy time. Gee whizzers!!!
