Oh it will be just like Christmas. A wonderful surprise.

When I was up in Auckland, I had a rather big spend up, but sent all my stash to my house in Christchurch. When I got home I had lots of packages waiting for me!

I got 2 HAEDs
Paris Opera House Celing

and Meeting on a Turret Stair:

Also Max's Moon:

And Little Snap Dragon:


I also got 4 beautiful shades of Glissen Gloss's Colourwash Japanese handpainted silk. I can't wait to start experimenting with them!

Those are Awesome!!!! Which will we see first in the SAL???

What a lovely collection of stash!

There was a note in the postbox when I got home today which said "parcel", I have to go and collect it at the post office tomorrow. I don't know what it can be - the only thing I am expecting is the ATC card - but surely it is not as big as a "parcel"?

Well, I collected my parcel today. It is a gift from Oxford University Press - the new Learners Thesaurus. You may remember I tried out their interactive material in December, and they came to see a lesson of mine - this is their thank-you gift. Aren't they nice?

That is very nice of them. It is good to get these thank you gifts.

the remaining threads for my phoenix 4 dragon floss (it would be rude not to) and a kit i found for dawn

I will most likely start on Meeting on a Turret Stair first as I just find it so romantic! But it'll be a while before I start one of these because I'd like to finish Firefly Fairies and do a few pages on my Monet, and maybe start and finish one of my John Clayton's too, so I probably won't get a chance to start any of these until next year

A year?????????? really a whole year.

Earlier this week I finally got my Mirabilia letter fairies A, L, K and the 2007 and 2008 Mirabilia Christmas Trees. Now I just have to decide which fabric since I don't like the ones that come in the kits.

yesterday he bought me a aida grab bag and a creative stash pack from polstitches
