Yarn Swap!!!

Almost mid December!!! where did the year go??? there's only 2 Mondays in the year after this... Oh my!!!

I'm excited today to tell you about a yarn swap I just had.
It was organized by the 'We love Lucy' group at Ravelry... This was my second swap.

We got our names drawn in mid November, package sent by Dec 5th, and finally on Dec 8th, I got my package!!! a big box full of wonderful pressies!!!

Now... first what I sent to a lovely girl in New Jersey...

A box packed with goodies... lots of goodies!!!

3 balls of Tonic yarn... blue, green and hot pink!

Some crocheted Christmas trees... And flowers...

The package must contained a handmade item... so I put a pair of earrings and a cowl.

And a lot more of little things...

A project bag from Knit Picks (Fabulous bag)... a set of rainbow crochet hooks, some colorful pens, a set of stencils to decorate cookies or coffee, a couple of patterns, a ball of Lustra yarn, and a couple of notes.

I loved putting it together and I think my 'partner' loved it too... she said it was a great gift and was happy with it...

Well she did wonderful too!!!!
Here's what she sent me.... a HUGE box came by UPS! I was so excited...

Of course I opened it imediatly... it was full of packing peanuts... so I dove in them in the look for the presents...

Look I found the first one...

And they kept coming and coming... a lot of them!!!

And then the opening... first came her Handmade item... a bunch of lovely buterflies and dragonflies (which I'm in love with)... I think she did an amazing job with them!

Then the most fun pair of sock!!! bright green and orange-red polka dots, very elf-ish... which I'm wearing right now of course...

More goodies!!! a little stocking with 2 bags of hot chocolate powder (Yum!! I love Hot Choc)... a string of glass beads, a bag of pompoms and a bag of paper cups for my baking!!! in polka dots!

A Fabulous-GoRgEoUs-amazing Christmas tree that you plug in the wall and changes colors!!!!
And a bag of Haribo Gummy Bears that MG claimed as his own :o)

This incredible book!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been wanting that book for so long... I have the edgins one and this one is just perfect, besides super inspirational and happy with all the great colors!

A tube of the sweetest Christmas ornaments!!! bright colors, yei!!

Swap... in progress.

Hello all!!!
I've been enjoying myself in this warm-hot days... I love been able to wear a skirt or a dress... and love been all surounded by color.
I finished my "The Friday Night Kniting Club" book, and couldn't help to buy the sequel... so now I'm enjoying "Knit two", and I'm off to read for a while by the pool!!!
But I wanted to let you know the status of my swap...

I kept thinking in what I could get for my swap partner, and I wanted something that she coudn't get where she lives... so I ended up deciding for one of my favorite yarns... I can't tell you a lot more for now, just in case she is reading, because I want it to be a surprise as much as I can... but I'll take pictures to post here after everything is complete!
I'll go to the mail later to send my package!!!

Have fun!
See you soon!

Yarn Swap!

I'm really, really excited because I'll have my first swap ever!!! I got into it through We Love Lucy Raverly Group... where I also got 2 new penpals... so I'm very happy about that too...
I've been thinking in which yarn should I buy for my swap partner... what else should I get for her... and I'm so excited that I can barely content my self...
MG smiles every time I tell him about this, and how I feel like I'm discovering a whole new world that looks so amazing and so my-kind-of-thing... what-I-want-to-do... what-makes-me-happy... and makes-my-day-shine....

YEIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So... we have to wait for a little while, and in a month or so, a bit more, we will have an awsome surprise!!!
Can't wait!!!

See you soon!
