Today is July 7, 2007 and is considered to be a very lucky day, however, last week was my lucky week for sure!
Over the year I have been participating in Lynne’s special swap and have had a very nice time getting to know new people. The best part of this swap is that you know ahead of time who you are swapping with, so you get to make new friends 🙂

This time around the theme was a Garden Party theme and my swap partner was Sue. My package arrived this week and was full of garden goodies. Starting off is this garden journal, which will get a lot of use for next years garden. I love the idea of keeping a garden journal.
Of course there were lots of yummy goodies and some very nice teas, along with a great smelling bar of soap, which pictured here are all tucked in a pretty planting tin.

And the yarn…….some very soft Frog Tree cotton along with some peaches and cream cotton, that my youngest daughter quickly snagged for her very first crochet project. The blues will be used for some soft cushy wash cloths I think, to go with some new soaps that I am considering trying……and rounding up the package were some nice flower seeds,
some great candles and some pretty flower plates.
Thank you Sue!!!
These themed swaps are so much fun. Your package is wonderful.
