I stole this title from Nancy, but I don't think she'll mind. A few weeks back Grace gifted Nancy with a beautiful shawl. And then a square for a blanket popped into my mailbox. I was blessed by this knitter before I even knew that she was my spoiler!
My package from Grace for the Keepin' Cool in Summer Dishcloth Swap arrived on Monday. She Rocked!
2 of my kiddos fell asleep during their reading time. 6 was here to unpack the box and take photos. Here's the over all shot. (click to make bigger)
What Grace couldn't possibly know...sometime last week, after she sent me a baby blanket square...I was checking out her ravelry projects. I really liked this one. I just favorited it today. And Grace sent me this book. (best link I could find) How could she have known?
***my 4th of July knitting was a heart cloth from the book in red white & blue cotton.***
And then there was...cotton yarns, M&M goodies, US #5 needles, purple beaded stitch markers, a bath scrubbie & bubble bath (smells heavenly), 2 dishcloths, teas for me, animal crackers for the kiddos, and super cute notecards. The quote on those should be my motto. "Don't count the days, Make the days count." I'll have to admit that I've been counting the days this summer. Now that we're down to 50 before the start of a new school year, I'm a bit freaked out. But, it doesn't matter if there's 50 or 5...I need to make those days count.
Thanks Grace for an awesome swap box.

You are better than me. When my camera is in the car, I just don't post. Glad you got your package. Mine is still in the works, but I've talked to the girl, so it's good.
I am so happy you liked your goodies, and I didn't want to leave the kiddo's out, I knew they would enjoy helping open the box
As the saying goes, "When mama ain't happy ain't nobody happy" so we must keep mama's happy!!!
Its been fun getting to know you and you are on my daily blog list now, so you are stuck with me!
Grace is amazing and awesome, but so are you! I just saw all the goodies you sent Jessi...
