Last week I received an excellent gift from Velvet for the Helper Sekrit Pal Swap 2008. Which was rather amusing since I had sent Velvet a package as well. We both were able to successfully pull off our first international swap. I was quite delighted to recceive my package and I averted my eyes from the package contents label that is required with international shipments. I mean come on postal services, some of us want surprises! Inside I found all sorts of lovely goods.

There was an adorable mug with cocoa and an appropriately sized whisk.

Little chocolate snowmen

Lip balm

Fun stationery

Some handmade stitch markers!

Oh and this? Yeah it’s not much just some yarn handspun by Velvet! She says there’s round about 263 yds there and it probably weighs in at light fingering. I will definitely have to find something cozy to make with this.

Thanks Velvet for putting together such a great package!
