(we were stuck without a ceiling fan working over our heads last night bowling) so the fan will come in handy for sure.

Beaded Stitch Marker Package Received

I got my package for the month of May today from my angel, Mary B, THANK YOU!!!! I loved it all, I got some wonderful Sugar n Cream yarn in greens and multi greens, 2 sets of stitch markers that are sooooo pretty!! And 3 crochet pattern books, cute note pads and a magnet. What a wonderful angel!!! Thank you sooo much!! Crochetoholic Debb

Thank you JoAnn

What a wonderful package of goodies I got from Joann. The bag pattern is great and I love to work with Paton's yarn and will post a photo of the finished bag. Included in this swap (along with the pattern, yarn and a pack of crochet hooks), I received a Creative Knitting Magazine, a pencil case (for my hooks I am guessing), some summer erasers, an M.E. journal, some beaded flowers for my flip flops, a skein of Berrocco Crystal FX , a bath puff, Bath & Body Works goodies and P shaped sticky notes (cute!). Oh, I almost forgot, everything I described above is sitting on a really cute blue vinyl beach bag with a polka dot bottom.

JoAnn really went overboard and I really appreciate it all!

thank you, Judy

I got my tote bag package the other day, but finally got around to thanking Judy today (sorry!). I have a pattern for a flower tote bag, looks pretty cool, I'llprobably start it tonight, along with the yarn - an orange/yellow for the flower part (think of the color of an orange daylily) with the cream for the inside (again like a daylily), green for the leaves and a mauve color for the background. Very pretty colors. I also got a beaded pin kit plus my youngest cat got a new place to investigate. Apparently Judy slipped something good for cats to smell in the box, but I don't smell it.

Thank you, Judy, for your genorosity! It's really cool.
