Hey, Mr. Postman

I knew that my scarf was due to arrive any day now. Corrie had emailed me to let me know. I have spent most everyday rushing to the mail box as soon as he had driven past.

Yesterday I did a dance all the way from my mailbox to my front door. It was here!

I bet there are days that my postal carrier is scared of me.

It is beautiful, soft, light, airy, and a perfect color! That is just the bonus, she had me with the lace. It is Corrie's first lace project and she told me how she had struggled with it. You would never know. It's knitted and blocked wonderfully. I received so many compliments from my co-workers when I brought it to work today. So, Corrie, I am passing them on to you.

Corrie also sent along a few extras with the scarf. It took me awhile to notice the extras. I was busy swooning over the lace. What? Doesn't everyone swoon over lace? Though my husband trying to sneak off with the chocolate bar quickly brought my attention back to the rest of the box. Rich dark chocolate*, a knitting magazine that is unavailable in my area, a cookie cutter for the upcoming holidays, lip gloss, and extra yarn.

It is incredibly generous and thoughtful. I love it! You have been a wonderful swap partner and have made this exchange a real joy. Thank you so much, Corrie!

*Only the box is shown, the chocolate has already been consumed to prevent theft. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
