There's nothing like getting a package...

...especially when it's full of wonderful sample cards and a number of yarn balls to play with! I had requested some swatching samples from
South West Trading Company to help me with some submissions I'm putting together with their yarns. I couldn't believe their generosity. Just got to love the soy silk. Behold!

I sent a package to my secret pal this week too...hope she likes it. I love excuses to go shopping so this whole thing works out great for me--just don't tell my husband--he was so happy to see the stuff from South West Trading. He figures it will keep me out of the yarn store for a few weeks (he's wrong, of course.)
