I received my first package from my SP9 Secret Pal. My jaw dropped in awe when I unwrapped the 5 balls of blue Olympus size 40 thread. I had almost bought some blue Olympus thread just days before! It is just what I was needing because I don't have any blue colors and I want to make a blue doily.

I'm also thinking I will have to find a pattern that uses a 4.00mm hook because I want to try the wooden hook she sent to me. It feels so nice and light. Now, I do love my Clover Soft Touch hooks, but they do feel heavy after awhile.

Not photographed is the package of black licorice. I'm going to have to be careful how much I eat—recently started watching my calorie intake. I'm sure a few sticks won't hurt me. ;-)

Thank you so much Secret Pal! You somehow knew just what would make my day!
