Yep yep. As I was sitting watching tv my chihuahua started barking at front door. No one ever uses our front door so I brushed it off but he kept barking...finally to satisfy him I opened the door to show him no one was there and what did I find?? My package from Maggie :dance: :dance:

I got bunches of stuff and of course a card!! My hubby laughed at me b/c he heard the dog barking the door open and then me squeal...I think I scared him a bit at first. LOL

So...Anyone wanna see pictures??

What am I saying of course you do!!
Here's a quick list.
~Fabric marker!!
~Beading needles that I couldn't find near me...now that I see them I think I was over looking them I was expecting them to be different LOL.
~Some fray check. Never used this but it looks very useful.
~Some small "quick" charts as she called them....I think she over estimates my stitching speed. I am still very slow!!
~Small storage boxes...perfect to hold my first metallics which were also inclosed in the package.
~Some Aida one blue and one SPARKLES!! I already know what I want to make on this!!
~A seam Ripper.

Fray chck is a fabric glue. It's water soluble so when you wash it it's removed without a trace, but while you use it, it stops your fabric from fraying. And if you've ever had evenweave, you know how much fabric can fray while stitching.

My turn, my turn!!
Mr. Postman brought me a box from maemae that had the Stitchbow folder, a few of the inserts and a zillion of the plastic stitchbow holders. It will take me forever to fill those up! Would take a photo but my camera has gone into hiding. Thanks Megan!!

Ooooh lucky you, I wanted to get tickets this year as I haven't been now for about 4 years!

By the time I got round to looking on the website for the ballot I had missed the closing date for applications :cry:

Which day/court have you got tickets for?
