Yarn Aboard!!

I recieved my Yarn Aboard package on Friday. Wow!!!! How cool is this???
2 Skeins of Claudia Handpainted Sock yarn in "Purple Earth" - GLORIOUS color!!!! I absolutely love it!!!!
A set of double pointed needles & coils, 7 packs of various bubble gums (YUMMY), my initial "A" in a sticky note pad, a Fiber Trends sock pattern and a package of wool wash.

How lucky am I?????

My box is Henry Hudson and has seen 11 Ports of Call before mine. I will try to take pics with my cell phone since my digital camera is still on the fritz. I have to get the box out today to its next destination so hopefully my camera/phone will produce a nice pic.

Thanks Cindy!!!! You Rock!!!

Second Secret Pal Surprise!

Well I got another box from my Secret Pal 9!!! Again, thank you!!! This time it was a really cool cat felting kit, which I've been dying to try....and a beautiful knitted scarf!!!! Its starting to get cold here so I will be wearing it soon.

My camera is still broken - I haven't had a chance to send it out yet - so no pics. I will maybe try to take a few with my cell phone, but wonder how the resolution will be.

I apologize for not posting more. Like I said in an earlier post, I started a new job and I am FINALLY starting to get used to the demands of it and the crazy hours I have. I was so tired when I got home from work that I'd pretty much just get my clothes ready for the next day and go to bed. Guess it took me about 3 weeks to get used to it. I'm still tired, but can at least function (somewhat) when I get home. My hours can be anywhere like 7am-3pm or 12pm-8pm or 10am-6pm, etc. Every day is different and every week is different. I never have the same days off every week. Like this week, I was off Monday and now today (Wednesday). I'd rather have two days in a row, but hey, I'll take what I can get.

Anyway....thanks again to my Secret Pal. Its so much fun getting surprises in the mail. And I promise I will be more diligent with my postings!

Secret Pal Delivery! Thank You!!!

Got my Secret Pal 9 delivery last week. All I can say is WOW!!! Well, first off, I have to explain that I can't show pictures because my camera is broken AGAIN. I just got it back from service and the first time I use it, the exact same thing happened so I have to send it out again. Sheesh!!! Ok...so in my package was a beautiful tin wall hanging that you can put dried or silk flowers in with a fall theme, a pumpkin pie scented candle, guest towels with autumn themes, several different types of yarn, a pumpkin "candle" (a light that looks like a tealight for inside a pumpkin), cotton yarn & a pattern book for washcloths, candy corn (YUMMY!) and right now I can't think of what else. But a GORGEOUS package of things that was soooo much fun to open!!! Thank you SP9!!!!! (Funny, I could have sworn that I wrote about this when I got it...wonder if blogger never posted it) **I'm having some trouble with blogger and can't make paragraphs, so I'm sorry if this is all crunched together!

New Job!

Well I started a new job yesterday. I'm working a new Pier One that will be opening soon. I decided to go full time but now I'm doubting my decision. It has been MANUAL LABOR!!! We unloaded trucks, unpacked furniture, filled dumpsters, etc. This isn't what I had in mind!!! I'm figuring it won't be that bad once the store opens...until we get deliveries. My fingers are sore, my hands are all cut up, my back is killing me and I'm sure I'll have bruises. But some of the items in the store are so beautiful! I know I'll probably spend my first paycheck on stuff.
