whoa! yay! yippee!!

got home today ~ look what i found! (or foun dead as one of the boys used to say!)

restrained myself and went for the camera ~ this is progress


what a lovely package!!

i love the starfish cloth, i love the beach scene cup!!


of course i adore the sock yarn!


and oooooo a cinnamon candle! chocolate covered pretzels! (brave woman to mail those!) and some yummy smelling peach iced tea mix ~ yep! i smelled it! hey! i smelled the sock yarn too!!!

a cute little smiley face box with some balloon racers for me munchkins! since i'll be over there this evening, i'll take them with me!! L B returns from Girl Scout camp tonite :)

Knit 'Til Dawn aka Nicole H was the sweetie who sent all the fun!!! Thank YOU!

now am anxiously waiting for my person to receive her package !

okay #2 son, did i use enough !!!!!!! points for ya?!

i bought more sock yarn!

for lack of a better title

i "needed" it

i think it needed me

these glow in the dark yes they DO

these flash lights when i walk yep they DO

stress test!!

hee!

not a real one

a family one ~ but one nonetheless

think S & i passed!

am sure there will be plenty more 'tests' as the years go by but this one was too scary

meanwhile here are some pics from 2007 & 2008

big differencecaught off guard or i'm sure they would have SMILED!!

crazy!

Behind?

you would think that with Summer of Socks 2008! now 20 days out i'd have a pair of socks to show!



good thing there aren't any rules ~my type of party ~ huh S? ~no rules!



i even picked an ankle socks cause i love this pattern - it's easy, it's cute, plus - "it fits muh feet"


3 days without kids, 5 hours of car travel = NO socks!


my excuses:

1. the scenery was too pretty (and very hard to capture at 70+ mph)


2. saw some alpacas on the side of the road (around waynesboro)


3. had to keep an eye out for spinning wheels


4. lots of deer were out and needed mental projecting to make sure they stayed off highway

welp, these socks should be wearable by the weekend!!

hope ya'all have a great one!

self portrait
