Boxes and Dreams

Snail mail??  I am amazed at how fast the boxes from Daffycat arrived at my door!!  She must have an "in" at the post office!  I was like a kid on Christmas morning going through all the goodies.  And to top it off, I was contacted directly by some who are sending their contributions directly!  Many thanks, again, to all of you that contributed to the Tusal prize!  Here are all the goodies ~
It's going to take a while to organize it all! (Hey Peggy, when you get done organizing yours, maybe you can take a road trip and help me!)

Speaking of boxes.  Remember I stitched the couple from the February Wordplay?
Well, Molly and Beth from the Strawberry Sampler worked their magic and just look at it now ~
Can't you just see it filled with some candies and given to your special valentine? 

Many of you suggested that I should run out and buy a lottery ticket.  Well, here it is....
Sadly, my luck didn't carry over to the numbers.  If I ever do win, watch out!  I plan on taking a trip around the world to meet my blogging friends ~ I might just be knockin' on your door!  A girl can dream, can't she?

Come to VA! And heck, at least you're not going to be one of those people that says, when the reporters question her about her big lottery win: "I like my job, so I'm going to keep it." Heck, if I won $100,000 I'd quit! Anyway, congrats on win!

CalamityJr said...

I like the way you think! I don't have an LNS, but we could have a great time stitching together!

Peggy Lee said...

Not a problem my friend...I'm there for ya! Now don't touch anything until March okay?

Too bad you didn't win the lottery. Just remember who your friend is in KY when you do! :o)

Carol said...

Your large box of goodies and your small stitched box are both wonderful, Catherine!! Although, I think I'd rather keep the small candy-filled box all for myself--I do love chocolates!!

Yes, a trip around the world would be great fun, wouldn't it--I have a feeling our blogging friends would welcome us with open arms...

Denise said...

May I come on your trip too? Ha, come on numbers! Holy Smokes did you get stash! That'll take a week to sort! Fun fun! Love your little stitch!

Have a great weekend!

Nancy said...

Pumpkin said...

That must have been a FUN day! I can't imagine going through all that stuff...

SO CUTE! Just adorable.

Julie said...

Enjoy folding all at stash.
The little box is devine.

Kathy Ellen said...

What wonderful goodies! Now, I'm sure that you didn't really mind sorting through all of those goodies after all:)

I love sweet little February couple, finished into that cute box....just perfect for something special to go inside.

Wouldn't it be fun to take a trip round the world to meet some special stitching friends? A wonderful dream that could come true!

*droooooooooooooooooooooool*

Susan said...

While you're visiting Glenna, the two of you need to drive some 30 miles south and visit me or better yet, I can drive north and we can all go to In Stitches for the day!! The prize package is amazing! Hope you enjoy everything. The couple box finish is very cute, I'll be filing that idea away. Sorry things didn't work out with the lottery ticket.

Daffycat said...

I'm keeping my guest bed sheets aired for you!

I'm so glad the boxes arrived safely. Have fun sorting your new stash!

Myra said...

Drat! I just knew you had the winning numbers. :o) What a load of new stash you have there - congratulations!

I absolutely love the little couple on the box. What a wonderful finish.

Wow! Congratulations on winning the TUSAL draw! Look at that little box, its so sweet!

I buy lotto tickets witht he girls at work. We haven't won big, but its the dream. I like the idea of dreaming about what I could do with the freedom. Like you travelling is at the top of my list!!!
