Regional Yarn Swap.

Here's an overview:
Included was a lovely note; a postcard of Madison, WI; a doll made for Laura; Spiderman gloves for Maddy; pink handspun (that is oh so yummy); green yarn from a local spinner/dyer to make Cookie's Stricken socks (also included); natural worsted weight and kool-aids so the girls can dye the yarn!; a project bag from her LYS with a pocket on the outside (not sure what it's intended for, but it's destined to hold the water bottle that goes everywhere with me!); local cheese (yummo); a spool from her DD to mine; and a stitch marker (you may be able to see it dangling from the green yarn, in front of the natural?) that is gorgeous, and was made by someone at her LYS!
Close up on the yarns and the stitch marker. And on Stricken! :)
The girls' gifts... A little washed out, but a photo nonetheless!
The girls saying "Thank you!" for their wonderful gifts. They absolutely love when they're included in one of mommy's packages. It makes them feel so special!

All in all, a WONDERFUL experience! Thank you SO much "LearningLace"!
