A bookmark surprise....



THANK YOU...THANK YOU....THANK YOU, MOZE!!!! I love my bookmark, which is absolutely beautifully done not to mention the fact that I was so excited it was a butterfly! She also not only sent one book, but TWO!!! And as you can see, some tea from Israel which I will definately try in a new cup I bought specifically for tea that had it's own built in filter. And a really cool postcard in which she described where she lived in relation to the picture. This, by the way, is on my fridge right now. What a wonderful wonderful package, Moze! You are a sweetheart. I have not read either of these books and I am familiar with the author of the "Theory of Relativity." The other looks like a good mystery and being the "Court TV" addict that I am, as well as Ed, we should both enjoy that one.

This is really the first time I've participated in exchanges with yarns and books and such. I love this! It makes you realize how very thoughtful so many people are when they really don't even know you. When I was a little girl, I always wanted a penpal. One time when I was older, I actually found one in a crochet magazine. (this was before computers) I wrote this long letter and was so excited to hear back from her. But as luck would have it, I never did. I was so bummed. Everyone I meet online here and through the swaps are so nice and so worth waiting for all these years of being penpal-less (is that a word?) So, thank you to all of you, for being the best-est, fun-est, computer and swap pals ever!!!

Till Sunday (and don't forget Father's Day!).....tootles!

I had a similar experience, wanting and waiting for a penpal...
Now, I also feel the same with you, Lucy, all the years of waiting was worth it with online friends that I've met :D

Wow, what a great package you received, such surprises are always the best, aren't they? You're going to love that book by Josephine Tey, she's an amazing author!

Glad you liked the package. It was fun mining your blog for clues about what you would appreciate!

Great package! I had a pen pal from France in Jr High that lasted through college. We lost touch a while back.. P.s. I'm already swaping some paperbacks... this is neat!
