I’m a bit concerned.  I mailed my package and I know it’s been received (according to USPS).  I’ve checked regularly, and there’s been no mention on my person’s blog.  I, uh *ahem* forgot to put a card in the package.  I don’t know if that’s a contributing factor — the giftee has no clue who sent it.  I did put a card in the mail today.  Or, it’s possible she’s very busy.  Her blogs been very active these last few days.  I’ll try not to worry too much.

Today, I got my gifts.  My secret Santa is Heather from Gofita’s Pages.  The thing that brought the biggest smile to my face was the hat.  I recently took up loom knitting and to get a knitted hat was such a kick!  I just finished a dishcloth, over the Thanksgiving holiday, with the same pattern.   I also got a book, Intimations of Austen: Stories Inspired by the Works of Jane Austen by Jane Greensmith; a box of candy canes and assorted chocolate candies (more in the bag).  The gift bag, sadly, received grievous wounds during transport.  I will not be able to reuse it.

Thanks, Heather, for the lovely gifts!!

Below are the pictures (including two of the dishcloth and the project I’m currently working on).

It’s that time again. This will be my first time participating in the swap. I enjoyed looking at/reading about the past swaps and I decided, if there was one this year, I would join in. The deadline for sign-up is 12 November.
