Christmas swap...

I've participated in a swap on Ravelry in the Trash to Treasure group. The idea was to send someone a package with all thing recycled or from stash... I don't have news yet from the lady I sent my parcel to but just take a look at what I was very surprised to received ;)

First the bell rang and this was waiting for me outside the door... it weighted a ton!



A very clever box if I may say so! I was able to pull it to its original shape.
A peek of what it looked like when I opened it:



And all that was inside its guts....


That was a LOTS of stuff, friends...! She put in:
-some cool bamboo knitting needles
-chocolate
- a magasine
-2 different straps for bags
- and lots of little gifts...

Here's the first one I opened:





She was gracious enough to knit me a mushroom hat and some fabulously cute stitch markers (that she made herself too!!)


And here's another one:


Some funny buntings for Xmas, that she sew, some essential oil (candy cane) and tea.
She even sent my kids stuff!:


The glitter for my oldest, the puzzle for my son and some elleptical toy (what's the name???) for the "baby"...
All wrapped in nice crisp cotton fabrics! even got some snoopy!
Am I not a lucky lucky girl and isn't she a generous kind lady?????? Thank you so much Kim Anh for this wonderful package, I made a happy dance in the kitchen while looking at all this stuff you graciously sent my way!
It really made me want to send stuff to others, so they could be as happy as you made me!
I developped the other gifts later, and I'll be posting about them a little later, need to take pics ;)






And the winner is???

So! Here is a list I made of all the people who put a comment on the give away:

1- Nel
2- Nathalie J
3- Demolition Witch
4- AngZee
5- Recycle Cindy
6- Lori Matteson
7- Diane
8- Alana
9- Minervas-hand
10- mf.i@hotmail.com (Sorry I don't have your name!)

And I'll omit my husband if you don't mind.... ;)

Now I made a research on google for a number generator and you will have to believe me that it's not my number because I don't know how to make it appears here (if someone is kind enough to tell me how I would appreciate it!)

Here you go, the number is... drum is rolling....
