Wow!!!

My secret pal Janette has spoiled me once again and in a major way. Just look at what was waiting for me when I came home last night.

Can you believe it? Look at all that yarn…..holy cow! And Burt’s Bee’s hand cream (one of my very favorites) as well as their yummy smelling lemon cuticle cream. Two bars of Lavender soap and this amazing soap called Dirty Girl….which I used this morning and is now my all time favorite!

And then there was this:

**big grin** my friend Diana also from Australia had tried her best to convince me to try some. But I resisted…..but guess what I had for breakfast this morning? Ok….I managed a half piece of toast….but I did try some. It packs a real punch but I understand why so many Australians swear by it. Heck it's nothing but Vitamin B….it’s (pungent) energy in a jar, and if Americans could just get past the strong and slightly bitter taste it would be very beneficial…..but boy that stuff is stiff!

Also along with the goodies came a lovely letter telling me about her home and her family….She really sounds wonderful.

Thank you so much Janette….you really did spoil me!

Hi Monika

It has been an absolute pleasure!

I was wondering whether you would be brave and try the vegemite... good on you.

Have a great day and hope your newely formed pool evaporates soon.

Your not so Secret Pal!

Hi Monika. Great parcel... what a wonderful array of yarn - I am looking forward to seeing what you do with it.

Just wanted to let you know, I have finished the hat kit you sent me as part of SP10 - I really enjoyed doing it... and used my new Denise interchangeables to do it. Not sure about the circulars... I think I would have preferred to knit it on DPNs... but I am really pleased with the result. So thank you again. From your SP10 goodies I have knitted a shrug, socks, hat, cushion and handbag... so almost fully kitted out! Thanks again for being such a wonderful pal.
