Even
before I looked at it, I knew who it was from – my dear friend and college buddy,
Chrystal in Oregon! Chrystal has a great
blog called The Hobby Horse - recipes, knitting stuff, book reviews, and more. She just posted a recipe for Irish Lemon Pie the other day, which sounds AWESOME!! I have to try it! Plus, she loves cats and has a few, so that
makes her A-OK in my book!
I
didn’t want to cut the twine, so I spent a few minutes untying it. I know why
Chrystal knits and crochets – she’s really good with stringy stuff! I got the paper off, to find a Celestial
Seasonings Green Tea box, and then, lots of goodies inside that!
First
off, a lovely purple headband for me! I
love it! Years ago, I would never wear
stuff in my hair, not even wear a pony tail.
But as my hair has been getting longer, I am pulling it back and this is
perfect!
(My
hair may look blonde in this picture, but it is actually gray - kinda funny how
it has a yellowish cast.)
Second
– for my Layla, Chrystal made her a lovely piece that can be worn as a bracelet
or a headband – I LOVE the button!
Layla
loves it – and I haven’t even told her yet that she can wear it in her hair
too! She is such a girly girl, she loves
hair stuff!
And
lastly, for my other girls – Lhasa and Sheme - Chrystal made these-
Little
crocheted mice stuffed with catnip that Chrystal grows herself! The cats went berserk for them! Lhasa attacked one immediately-
Whereas
Sheme just sat very still and seemed to be sniffing it like she was enjoying
getting high. But when I set it away
from her a ways, she attacked-
One
of the four has already been pushed under a table I will have to move out so as
to retrieve it. I think both girls went
in for a few munchies right after they were playing. And now, they look totally exhausted and seem to be ready to go to bed.
So
thank you, dear Chrystal – I don’t get many little boxes of joy in the mail, so
you definitely made the day for all of us!
I hope anyone reading this will visit The Hobby Horse and see what a fun
person you are!
More
tomorrow on the Alexis Tote Bag and the Giveaway! Please come back and see me!
Aw you guys are so adorable! I'm glad everyone liked their little treats :)
