Summer Fling

I love swaps. I love finding things for my swape

es and I love getting things from my givees. It is very fun to get things from total strangers who are generous and kinds. This summer I have participated in a couple of great swaps. I usually don't have a camera at my desk to take pics with and apologize to my other SPs for not posting pictures of the wonderful things I have received from them. I am actually thinking about keeping my son's very inexpensive digital with me. He won't miss and then I won't miss posting pics of the stuff. In any event, I did happen to have his camera with me today (it is what happens when you don't totally empty your bag from vacation) and took a pic of what I received from my Summer Fling SP.

My Summer Fling SP, Keri (KGoodrow), went over the top. I received honey (a friend puts up the honey), burt's bees almond milk beeswax hand creme and lip balm, Tom's natural clear body bar, Pacifica Bali Lime Papaya candle, a wonderful yellow and green flowered bowl with fruit candy, TEN skeins of Knit Picks' Merino Wool in "Storm" (a wonderfully warm color), Yarn Harlot's Knitting Rules AND three skeins of luscious Plymouth Yarns Royal Bamboo in lovely shades of green/aqua/blue (oh and four Heath bars . . . almost forgot them but one of them was a perfect snack in the middle of my Marketing class Saturday afternoon . . . and I am hoarding the other three for more class time!).


I have joined the Colorswap and am looking forward to spoiling my downstream(?) or is it upstream (?) for the neutral colors and have also signed up for September's pink colorswap!

Also, once I have my pics organized and such, I will post pics and maybe a link to all of them for anyone who has absolutely nothing to do but look at pics from someone else's vacation! LOL!!

Wow! That's is quite a package!
I haven't been in any of the knitty SPs - but have read a lot about them in the knitty forum and I'm amazed at the generosity. I think with my budget I will have to stick with "One Skeins" and the CASP swap though LOL.
