Tricks and Treats. Many many treats

from my SP5 and SP6!! They came one day apart, but I got them both on the same day since I had to pick them up from the USPS.

First up. My final package from my SP5, Jena.



WOW!! Jena told me my final package would be late for a good reason... and is it EVER! I would've waited til next year for this package! Two skeins of Artful Yarns Ballet (with which I plan to make myself a beautiful scarf... any suggestions for a pattern? should I carry it along with another yarn?) A sheep tape measure from Lantern Moon, we've got lilac and green tea , vanilla body spray, sticky notes with my initial, packages of tea, and...


the piece de la resistance... the lilac bath salts and lilac solid perfume! Now I can smell like spring all the time. Lilac is my all time favorite flowery smell, but it doesn't last long around CO... now I can smell it whenever I want. Thanks Jena!!!!!!!!!

Now for my SP6 gift!


Here we've got the Classic Elite Yarn (Sands), 6 skeins!!! Sour jolly rancher candies (I LOVE jolly ranchers!), and a cute black kitty cat tape measure!!
just a close up.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to my secret pals!!! I would've blogged about these earlier, but some college friends were in town visiting... and you all know how long it takes to post sometimes!

I still had my volunteer training and school while they were here, but I enjoyed every second of their visit. Though the husband didn't attend the alma mater, I consider him a college friend. It's tough to think of how to entertain friends that live in NYC, but I managed. We dined at 9th Door, a Spanish Tapas restaurant in LoDo. Mmmmmm.... Anna and I shared a pitcher of red sangria, while Scott enjoyed a more manly mojito (or two). On Saturday, Scott's two brothers flew into town (they were here for the football game), so we went our separate ways. Anna and I hit the club that night to hear Richie Hawtin, aka Plastikman spin. He's an amazing DJ, and the crowd energy is spectacular when he comes to town. Lucky me, I have connections... and didn't have to wait in line or pay cover b/c I was on the list. Am I shallow if I admit I love saying that? I was on the list.
