Purls of Hope

Look at what Rox sent me! She is such a doll. You had better be nice to her, or I'll find you and burn all of your needles/hooks.

"Picture Me, Picture Me" --- H

This my 2nd Secret Pal Angel package (for details, please look at previouse Thank you post! I am just in awe of the caring people out there! Thank you again!

And finally, I came home yesterday afternoon to find a nice little box with the following in it and a note from Susie. Here's the background... I read Susie's blog everytime she updates and I try to comment as much as I can... Well one day she had mentioned that she was disappointed - why? because her Secret Pal had bailed on her. Well, because I felt bad and I am an avid reader of her blog, I harrassed Rox into letting me be her "Angel" I had no intentions of letting her know that I was her angel. OOOPPPPSSSS! I wasn't very careful and belong to another group with her and used my "anonymous" email there...Duh. Well, my new pal Susie, sent me a wonderful package with a book on spinning and rovings to try! And a much nicer spindle than I had procured just the week before last. Yep - I didn't tell you all... why- because I suck. But I read the book last night and seem to be spinning much better than before. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! ETA::: I forgot about the angora booties, go check them out on Susie's blog until I upload the picture in blogger...sorry :(
