Last week I experienced the best mail day of my life.

I don’t look forward to getting the mail really. Mostly there is just junk mail in there. Or, worse than junk mail, NOTHING. Empty mail box is like a punch in the face.

So when I opened my mailbox to find TWO PACKAGES, you can imagine my surprise.

Ohh!!

First up was a package from Rachel, owner of the yarn and fiber shop On The Round (and fun tweeter!). She held a yarn giveaway on her blog and I was the lucky winner!

Package of Patchwork!

Inside was this beautiful skein of her Patchwork yarn, a lil note, a tea bag, and one of Rachel’s cute cards.

SO PRETTY!

This is not the first time I’ve won yarn in a giveaway. I am just that lucky!

A HUGE huge thank you to Rachel for hosting the giveaway and for sending me this beautiful yarn! I can’t wait to use it!

The second package was from Amy at Things We Make. You remember I made this Icord Friendship Bracelet for Amy’s friendship bracelet swap? Well, I got mine!

Friendship Bracelets!

Melissa at the blog Little Messy Missy made me two bracelets and sent me a cute Barbie postcard!

So Cute!

I’ve been wearing the red and teal one since I got it in the mail. I love red and teal and it was kind of a play on the traditional red, white, and blue Independence Day colors.

Thanks so much Melissa!

I haven’t heard from the woman that received my bracelet, but hopefully she is just a little behind, like me, and not just super disappointed that she didn’t get a more traditional friendship bracelet.

Can you think of a better mail day? Me either!
