Look what I received the other day! A parcel full of goodies from Anne's recent giveaway. As I opened it I guessed straight away what one of the things was going to be... a lavender bag which smells gorgeous.
There's a notebook as well, I love notebooks... and a set of coasters. Funnily enough I've been thinking I needed coasters and Anne has read my mind. They are beautifully made and presented, how talented she is. But you'll know that if you read her blog and have seen the quilts she makes.
I'm also in two swaps that are coming up. The first is an Autumn swap with Vicki, she's currently in plaster so we extended the deadline a little on that one-which suited us both!
The other is with Tracey, and this one is being hosted by Emily as a celebration of her blog's second anniversary. There's still time to sign up if you fancy a bit of parcel fun. And let's face it who doesn't lurve getting a parcel? Well, I do.
In fact I'm off to the post office in a bit to post one to No1 at Uni. It contains the course books that didn't arrive in time for us to take them last week (Amazon Traders... buck up your ideas!!), some magazines and general mail. No doubt it will cost an arm and a leg, but it's cheaper than the 500 mile round trip would be! She is having a whale of a time. No sleep and already a trip to A&E following a cooking accident. I knew the knife set was a mistake, along with the fact that she's only ever really cooked beans on toast before...
Lovely goodies from Anne! I hope your parcel is not too exhorbitant.

I'd read about you winning that, what a lovely collection to have. The notebook is beautiful isn't it?
Hope No. 1 is alright now?

Malcolm glanced at the laptop and said 'oh - that's your stuff'!! The coasters have some lavender in them, so should smell nice when you stand your tea/coffee on them (the lavender is from the garden). My baby is 33 tomorrow - I must have had him when I was 10 - and I still worry about him, so I can understand what you are going through with your daughter!!

Hi,
I was worried in case my comments had disappeared too! Yours is there thanks! I had to look what I to see what you meant about describing you! I think that's me too!

Vicki, just checked on the rules and it says 'minimum of five' items. A couple of mine are sort of related to make one if that makes sense! Will be ready to post on Tuesday if that's ok? Dawn
