Lucky Girl

Hello Dear Friends!
I hope that you have been having a great week. Things here have been chugging along.
I was the winner of Lainey's Olympic giveaway and my package arrived yesterday!



Ooh! I was so tempted to rip the paper of right away and dive in but I went on from the post office to my Zumba class then went home and showered and then I opened this package. I am proud of myself for having so much control that I waited that long to open it! LOL.






Look at all the lovely things. Fabric, chocolate, a notebook.. Look at that tin! It is definely going to be used to hold some of my finishing supplies.
But the best thing is this...



Isn't it wonderful? I am so happy to have my own piece of British/Jubilee stitching. I am going to put it on my desk so that I can spend a lot o time with it.
Thank you so much Lainey!

Lainey does so much for the stitching community. She is the organizer of the Stitched With Love Exchanges an the Christmas All Year Long SAL. Her
Blog is Lainey's Stitching Hoose.
Please go visit her.
On another note, the air conditioning units were stolen from the center where I Zumba. So while the insurance company works on replacing them there have still been Zumba classes. I have achieved a whole new level of sweatiness this week! Yuck! Unfortunately the scale says that there has not been additional weight loss too :(

Have a great Thursday!

Chris

You showed great restraint. :) What a wonderful package and worth the wait! Sounds like someone was desperate to get cool - not good for you though.
