Hi all! Don't have much time- computer is broken- not sure yet what's wrong or if it's fixable. I'm on at a friend's house. Won't be on much next week or so. So sorry, can't post pics till it's fixed. Still loving the ephemra goodies from lovesclutter. Am shipping (late, so sorry) RhymeswOrange paintings on Monday. Lovesclutter's Tshirt will be in the mail by the end of the week. Again, sorry! Haven't recieved other two bday claims yet, should get here this week. Will let you all know when I can get online!

[RhymeswOrange]

sorry to hear about your computer becca.  Thanks for the heads up though.

I claim maremare for a wallet.  I will be shipping it tomorrow if all goes well.

Here is the fabulous spinning kit RhymeswOrange sent me for my birthday!

First - opening the box



out jumped STUFFING!

I lifted out stuffing and found this wonderful book in which she had added personal notes so I wouldn't get discouraged,



I lifted out the book and behold!



a spindle with some roving already spun to get me started,



 along with two small bags showing the difference between pre-drafted and split roving. 



There were also two packages marked wool roving - one white



and one 'tequila sunrise'




Such an exciting present, I can't wait til I have time to devote to it so I can begin making my own yarn and fibre.

Thank you soooooo much, RhymeswOrange, I love it!!!!!!

[lovesclutter]

Oh, that is such an awesome package and so sweet. Rhymes with Orange, that was so thoughtful and of course, love the tequila sunrise.

MareMare and The_ChiHa's packages were sent out today!

[The_ChiHa]

Hey all! I sent out Becca_Songs present but she said she hasn't received so I'm not sure what the deal is. I sent in an envelope instead of a box this time so I hope everything went ok. ....
Thanks for the birthday wishes!!
Happy birthday to all!!
Looking forward to my package Crosswind!
