Blogging By Mail/Updated

I took part in the Blogging By Mail after reading about it on the Super Eggplant's blog. I mailed my package off to Mari in California who does not have a blog. Check out the post on November 19 on Cathy's my little kitchen to see what I sent Mari.) And from the note she sent me, she loved what I sent her.

I received my package today from London, England!!!! My package came from Jess of Scarf-o-matic. Yes, a knitter sent me food goodies!!! But she also included some yarn!!! She sent me a skein of Colinette's Enigma yarn which I have never seen before.

There is a container of Christmas pudding which smells wonderful! I am going to be nice and try and wait until Christmas to try it. This way I torment my brother in the meantime.

There is some chocolate. And no, I have not touched them unlike other bloggers out there. I do have some will power! Not much but some...

There were some tea packets in the box that I will be trying. There was also a little Christmas wreath since Christmas is one of her favorite holidays.

And of course recipes. I will be trying them of course. I will try to remember to take photos of the finished items before eating them.

And just as a side note, I will be doing this again. I have already signed up for BBM4 at Templar's site.

I am updating this post and republishing it. I have tried the chocolate coins. Okay, just one! And I must report that it was delicious. I am going to share the rest of them with my niece and nephew. I know that they will enjoy the chocolate but I will not share the Christmas pudding with them though!!

I am thinking about how to use the skein of Enigma that Jess also sent me. I am leaning towards using it in a scarf with possible another Colinette yarn. But I will play around with some ideas first. But nothing will be done with it until after the holidays. I have 2 hats to finish for my niece and nephew and a lace scarf for my mother first. And yes, they are Christmas presents.

What a great package! What restraint. Only one coin?

Lovely lovely package! I'm so impressed that you have showed such restraint. Around here, the chocolate would be history!
