This was a “girls weekend.” The hubby’s off saving the world, and the boy is off with his grandpa and uncle…. so it was just us girls.
So, what do girls do? – stay up too late, eat too much, and shop of course!
Saturday night, after a marathon day of shopping, dinner out, and more cosmic bowling (took the kids this time) I was tired. I mean – Cosmic bowling doesn’t even START until 10:00 PM, so by the time we got home it was about 1:30 in the morning. Tired…… straight to bed….
But wait! – what’s this I spy on my porch as I drive up? A big box the mail lady has left us. This is very mysterious – I’m not expecting anything…
Turns out, Kaity, on the down-low, has been scheming with the most wonderful knitter in blogland – Mistress Stash Enhancer, who wanted to send me a little something – just because she likes me!!! And not just me – there was something in there for EVERYONE – even the guys and the kitties!!!
I opened the box and – 1:30 AM or not – we’re all wide awake now! Oh.My.Gosh. So many goodies!!! It was like Christmas :o)
She sent me some Socks That Rock!!! – in a beautiful “Pebbles” colorway! I had mentioned to her that I had never seen it “in the wild” – and so she sent me some – because she’s just so cool like that! She also included a beautiful handmade card, some pretty blue glass stich markers, and some cute little glass ladybugs – and even some cedar blocks – because she knows I worry about my yarn so!
She sent Kaity some beautiful Trekking (she’s already finished one footie!), green glass stitch markers, and some great lip balm.
Lilly was surprised to see a package with her name on it – a packet of bath bubbles and what she tells me is now her favori
te lip balm – (and, believe me, this girl knows lip balm.)
I’m not sure what’s in the guys’ packages, because they’re not home yet – but even the hubby and The Bud got something! Hmm…., very mysterious. (Feels like it might be candy – not that I tried to peak or anything :o)
And- check it out – even some catnip to grow for the kitties. How cool is that!?
I don’t know what I did to deserve such an amazing treat – it was such a great surprise, and everything was so pretty, all packaged and bowed, with handmade cards – THANK YOU! I’m humbled by all the time and thought you must have put into this! You made my day and made me feel very special. God bless you – You’re the best ;o)

Now that is a package to come home to! Have fun knitting up that Socks That Rock!
Wow! That sounds like quite a treat, especially at 1:30 am. What fun.
Woohoo, that’s a nice package. I’ve never seen socks that rock in the wild either. You’ll have to tell us all about it.
What a great surprize. No one deserves it more than you!!!
There’s almost nothing better than coming home to a package with yarn in it…and a surprise one at that!
I just got my first STR yarn & can’t wait to make a pair of socks with it. Do you know what pattern you’re going to use? I’m having a difficult time deciding!
What a fun package!
What a wonderful surprise!! You deserve it – you all do 🙂
How awesome! Packages are always exciting – especially when they contain yarn 🙂 What a blessing for you!
Wow, I can imagine so well that you felt as if XMas and birthday fell on one day after opening that box of goodies! Looking forward to seeing the Socks That Rock – have fun knitting!
