A good day for mail

Why is it that an exchange never comes alone? But always on the same day with another one... Not that I'm complaining or anything.

First of all I received this wonderful exchange from Cathy B. for the Seasonal exchange. Spring is the last season of a year full of surprises!









Cathy made me this very pretty pinkeep! She did a great job on the finishing. And she spoiled me so much... again! A pair of Gingher scissors (I love them!), a chart of Blackbird Designs and a Lizzie Kate chart, which is even signed! Even the card that was enclosed was "stitched";)
Cathy, thank you so much for a whole year of wonderful exchanges! You were the best exchange partner someone could wish for!

Today I also received this big package. BUT... it says not to open it before May 4th... My hands are itching, but I'll try to be strong!

It's the birthday exchange from our Borduurhoekje, from Pascale. Since I will be on vacation with my birthday Pascale sent it little earlier. So you'll have to wait till after my vacation to see what was inside ;)

Current stitching: I'm still working on Long Dogs "Do Bears". There is a BIG Happy Dance in the near future! Will make a progress pic one of these days. And I'm kitting up some things for several exchanges that are going with me to "La Douce France". We're going to my brothers camping "La Magaudie" nearby the Dordogne.

Great exchange! And lucky you! Cathy sent you a pair of the much coveted Emmas! They were only on the shelves for about two weeks :-)

Wow! I can't believe how fast that package traveled over the ocean - I just mailed it on Saturday!

It was great fun stitching for you all year Simone.

I hope you have a relaxing and enjoyable vacation!

Getting surprise packages by mail is so great! Swapping is a nice way to make sure there's something nice in your mailbox once in a while. Lovely blog!
