Packages!!!

I managed to pick up the packages at the Post Office today.  It's a good thing I drove to pick them up because I couldn't have carried them by myself.  I was so thrilled by the sheer generosity of the knitting community.  Here.  Help me open them up.

Here are THREE packages that came from Cambria.  Here's what was inside

Yarn - lots of yarn.  There were even a few started blankets and caps inside.

I also received this package from Tracy B.  She gets the most points for beautiful packaging presentation.  Look at how beautiful this is.  I felt like I was receiving a birthday gift and it's not even my birthday.  Truthfully, this was better than a gift for me.  OK - I'm getting sappy, I'll stop.

Here are the swatches Tracy B sent, all neatly blocked, pressed, stacked and tied up with a bow.  She even sent the sweetest note.  The presentation and note were so wonderful that they just made me go "AW" and get that warm fuzzy feeling inside.

Here are Stacy B's 24 swatches laid out side by side on the floor.  Which one is your favorite?  My boys and I each picked our favorites, but I don't want to sway the judges for the contest, so I'll be quiet until all entries are received.  Remember to postmark your donations by March 30th for the yarn prizes. 

THANK YOU!  I am so excited about this wonderful project.  It's also been wonderful to see other people's swatches, their creative use of leftover yarn and wonderful color combinations.  Sometimes I get so tired of my own ideas, that I just want to see what others are doing.
