A Good Week for Post

I've had some wonderful surprises through the post lately. I was lucky enough to win this gorgeous project bag and pincushion in a giveaway on Sally's blog.
They are just beautiful Sally.
I received loads of wonderful gifts for my %*@#th birthday yesterday. Too many to bore you with them all but including these lovely things from fellow stitchers/bloggers. The Penguin Calendar from Barb (penguins!!!!!), Dragon Floss and ribbon from Clare and pretty scissors from Julie. Thank you ladies. I love them all.
Lots of interesting Christmas parcels arriving too, to be shaken, sniffed and prodded, but not opened early (I am very self-controlled these days), and here are some of the latest goodies from the Advent Exchange, fabric, threads, a bookmark, notepad, bag-charm kit, wash mitt and penguin socks.

Do you think people are starting to get the idea that I might just like penguins a teensy bit?


Maybe if I start putting on my blog that I'd like Colin Firth smothered in chocolate...

Christine, you can't have him, because I already have first dibs! Isn't he just yummy? Well, I guess he would be, smothered in chocolate and all. Hey, I'd even forgo the chocolate if I had to.

Heidi Kuijer said...

Ohhh....so many lovely things. And a belated Happy Birthday to you Christine!!!

How are things where you are in Cornwall? I keep hearing bad reports on the news about Cornwall and flooding.

Hugs from Holland ~

Looks like someone got spoiled - Happy belated birthday!

You can't go wrong with penguins, unless maybe it's dragons. ;)
