to quote Brucie (showing my age here!) which seems appropriate really as I do feel a bit like a winner on the generation game and this is the reason:
My lovely swap package for Zoe's yarn in a teacup swap sent to me from southern Australia by the very thoughtful and generous Lindy. I only had time for a quick snap before the urge to rip off all the pretty wrapping became too much for me to resist. And when I'd ripped off all the neat packaging I found this wonderful selection of goodies.
Lots of wonderfully soft and luxurious alpaca yarn in lovely shades for bunnies, a beautiful mug and matching plate (perfect for tea and cake) cute and cuddly Aussie toys and 2 books for the children and some lovely Aussie souvenirs - Thanks Lindy, you're a star!
The nicest thing about the swap is the care Lindy took in putting together the package - it really means a lot to me that she was so very thoughtful and that the gifts she sent are so perfect for me and the kids. It's heartwarming when people are so thoughtful and generous to a stranger - it shows us that there is good in people and that the world is not all doom and gloom despite what the media would have us believe!
And we can all sleep a little better at night with that thought in our heads...
