Bestest Swap Pal Evah!

I have the best swap pal ever! Look at what Janice (Jarlady on Rav) sent me.

The yummiest scarf made out of Wollmeise 80/20 Twin, Pfefferminz Prinz which is a color I've been drooling over for awhile now. She also sent me Jelly Bellys (yum, I'm fighting Kaity over these), my favoritest Dove chocolate (no meltage at all), a Knit Picks 32" 2.5mm circ (my most favorite type and size of needle), the cutest felted bowl (it's holding my most used knitterly goodies), a TLE water bottle (already being used), a Starbucks coffee mug (love me some Starbucks), a skein of Sugar n' Cream Stripes (can never have enough dishcloth cotton!), pattern tamers (these were at the top of my "Want" list), CookieA's Mona sock pattern which was like the only CookieA pattern that wasn't in my Rav queue. How did I manage that one? It's in there now!

Here's a shot of Kaity helping me out by modeling the scarf.

Shawn wasn't around to take the picture plus I have to tell you something but you have to promise to keep it a secret (I was still in my PJs). Shush, don't tell anyone!

Here's a shot of the little bowl holding my goodies.

It's the perfect size to hold my knitting gadgets that are too small to fit in my big coffee mug that I use to hold my pens, crochet hooks, stitch holders, etc. I hate keeping these items in the drawer because I use them all the time.

Thanks Janice for being the bestest swap pal ever. I loved everything.

On a side note I got all excited because Shawn told me that he heard there was a Starbucks that opened up here on base. My excitement was shot down when Shawn called to tell me that it was an unmanned stand that serves brewed Starbucks brand coffee. It's the most piteful thing I've ever seen. Why even bother! If I wanted Starbucks brewed coffee I'd make it in my own darn coffee pot at home. I can buy the beans at the commissary. Sheesh! I don't go to Starbucks for a plain coffee I go for the yummy, carmel flavored, loads of sugar and whip cream type caffinated beverages!!! I save brewed coffee for my coffee pot here at the house. And here I thought I was going to have a Starbucks within walking distance. Oh well, at least the one down the road has a drive through.
