came today!!!!! Yeah , this is my LOOT from my first swap, The Day of the Dead Swap. It is a fantastic present. I love it. Lindsey aka PixieThief did a wonderful job. On this swap she kept herself secret which was fun. She painted the Russian dolls (i think that’s what they are called) They are the dolls that hide in each other. Then in the last doll was a little skull (see 2nd picture) I think I’m going to make a stitch marker out of that. It’s too cool.
My favorite is the yarn (see 3rd pic). It’s bamboo. She spun it herself. It is lovely and feels wonderful. She has my approval (like I’m an expert or something) and the color is spot on! Thanks Lindsey you put a very big smile on my face.
Lindsey also gave me skull hair ties. These will have to be hidden from my daughter when I’m not wearing them. She shares my love of skulls. The golden box is chocolates that didn’t last long and they were great. They are or were from a shop in Knoxville The South’s Best Chocolates. mmmmmm chocolate. 
The multi colored sheet in the back is Ms. Babs Hand Dyed Silk Hankies (See 4th pic) . Very interesting. I will have to try my hand at spinning now. Oh no, another hobby I will get hooked on. Lindsey also sent me her mom’s recipe for Honey Cookies. I think this is the 2nd best part of this package. I love getting recipes that are special to other people and introduce them to my family. It’s just a great feeling I get when I share the love with my family than looking them up in a cookbook and doing them. People always share the best recipes. You never know what you will get when you look them up in a cookbook.
Again, THANKS LINDSEY. YOU ARE THE BEST!
HAVE A GREAT HALLOWEEN AND DAY OF THE DEAD!
CELEBRATE THE LIVES THAT HAVE PASSED AND CHERISH THE ONES WE STILL HAVE!!!!
Later
