Knitter Monkey

Well, apparently sometime between my wedding and returning from my honeymoon, I misplaced my camera. Misplaced it so much that despite looking for three days, I can not find it. So this post is not going to do my secret pal justice at all, because there are no pictures, and I am so sorry!

But. Just before we left for dinner before the wedding, I got a CD in the mail from my secret pal with a really funny message in the liner notes about how I would hate this CD. And can I just tell you that I love that you would make me a CD you think I might hate, because the only reason I listen to any non-pop music that's good is because my music geek friends have made me CDs of music that I hate and then grow to love. I was also excited because everyone I know seems to love Belle & Sebastien, and I've never listened to them, and okay they are probably not my favorite but I still enjoyed the CD! Actually, it's a great at-work CD, so, see, you've enriched my office and expanded my horizons a bit!

Then, because my SP is all about timing, my final SP package arrived as we were packing up the truck to head out to the cabin for our honeymoon. I couldn't wait to open it so I did anyway. Again with the crazy wrapping, which makes it so much fun. In the package were:

Handmade notecards with a monkey holding a yarn ball and matching envelopes!
Massive quantities of grapefruit-flavored candy!
The cutest little tea thing!
A book called "Stupid Sock Creatures" that I can not wait to make like five different things out of!
A super nice needle case!
Handmade stitch markers that say "SP ROCKS <3 SP"!

And, of course, the identity of my SP - Heather at www.itsalikelystory.com! Heather, thank you so much, your packages have all rocked my socks off.
