It CAME, it CAME!

Mail was delivered, and Brian went out to the box to retrieve the mail before I. I knew I was expecting something from Vickie, but I wasn't sure if it was going to be here today or not.

Well I'm like.. "did I get something from Vickie!?" Brian said, yeah there is something from Vickie. He proceeds to hand all the mail. I just took what I wanted and I handed the rest back. LOL

A couple weeks ago, Vickie had said that she had ordered something for me.. and said it was a prize. I hadn't won anything... so I didn't know what to expect. Well if you don't know Vickie - she is the BAP lady.. she has about 4 or 5 of them going on at a time, which she puts into a rotation and works on them. So she always has me looking at the BAPs that she is interested and asks me what I like. Well, way back ... earlier this year.. I found my all time favorite chart from Mystic Stitch. I just kinda put in the back of my head that someday I would purchase it.

Well, I opened up the package to find this... The Flag from Mystic Stitch.... MINE ALL MINE!! I LOVE IT!! I was so excited when I had seen it that I (and I cant lie) had tears in my eyes! I'm going to start this pattern soon! (But then that puts the Cabin on the back burner.. oh and wait, there is Inspirations, that just went back further..LOL)

THANK YOU SO MUCH VICKIE!! You sure know how to surprise the heck out of me! And I TRULY do value our friendship!

The other two items in the package where things I knew of.

Vickie said that she had an extra copy of the JCS Halloween Edition.. so she included a copy for me.

AND.... DRUM ROLL PLEASE!

I got the SWIMSUIT (something that was said last year.. read it here) edition of cross stitching!! I see several that I'm interested in stitching already.. and tonight I will go to bed with it and read all the stories and recipes.

Thanks again Vickie! You really made my day, heck my week!!
