sheep in the city

She likes me, she really likes me!

This last week has been a really long one, so imagine my surprise when I get home after running errands on Saturday to find a key in my mailbox! You all know what that means...yippee! A package...and it's from my new Secret Pal! Let me just start by saying, you done good, you done real good! By just answering a few questions, it's like she knows exactly what I like, it's crazy! Here it is, my first gift:

There were 2 skeins of hand-painted yarn that she picked up while at Stitches West from Royale Hare yarns. A hot pink bumpy yarn called Wobbly Wool in "fruit punch" and a light pink mohair in "cotton candy". Sounds yummy, huh?! There were Valentine Runts and Gobstoppers, a fun candle from Illuminations in my favorite scent, Grapefruit. There was even one of my all-time favorite candies in the bag, Grapefruit Gummies! How did you know that I loved those so much? Seriously, I devoured them, and now I'm sad because they are all gone! Here's a peek at the stationary that she wrote to me on, isn't it cute?! Again, how did you know that I have a random collection of Asian stationary with these too-cute little characters on them? Ever since I was in elementary school and I discovered Hello Kitty, My Twin Stars, and My Melody. I haven't seen this one before. I have one that I'm saving for someone special that's called "Burnt Bun". The little character is a Bun who's head is slightly burnt. It cracks me up. There was also a felted toy for Jesse...he of course has to immediately had to sniff it...he loves it already!

Isn't this the coolest thing? It looks like a giant pink hairball, but it is like a work of art. There are so many colors on it. I almost didn't want to give it to him, but he wouldn't have it. It has a jingle bell inside of it, and he has already claimed it and batted it all over the house. It makes for good cat exercise!

Last but not least, there were colored plastic bags. Why do I need them...to make a bag of course! I told her that I was going to be collecting them, and she obliged! Thank you secret pal of mine, you're the best!!
