I LOVE SECRET PAL GIFTS!!!!!

I received 2, count them 2, Secret Pal gifts this week!!! My knitting group, Knit Nite, has started a SP program and I joined Secret Pal 2 on the internet. Tuesday when I got to work a beautiful little package with those beads was waiting for me and today in the mail I received the note cards, bookplates and a pencil (which I forgot to scan) that says, "Yarn Is Love"!!!
I love getting surprise gifts and these were something I would definitely pick out for myself!! I want to Thank both of my Secret Pals and wish you good knitting!!

Here are the girls. I am working on one more right now and then they really need some outfits!!!

Questions for your Secret Pal
1. Are you a yarn snob (do you prefer high-end/natural fibers)? Do you avoid Red Heart and Lion Brand? Or is it all the same to you?
I have limited funds to spend on yarn. I love the texture and the touch of more expensive yarns, but usually end up with Lion Brand or something similar.
2. Do you spin? Crochet?
I am very into knitting, but I know I should have some knowledge of crochet, if only for finishing work.
3. Do you have any allergies? (smoke, pets, fibers, perfume, etc.)
I am deathly allergic to bees, but that is all.
4. How long have you been knitting?
Like everyone else my grandmother taught me when I was a little girl, but I recently took it up again and have become obsessed.
5. Do you have an Amazon or other online wish list?
Oh, yes I do!! Just go to Amazon and click on Wish List, type in Lisa Pritchard. I am the one from Albion with 20+ items!!!
6. What's your favorite scent? (for candles, bath products etc.)
I adore Patchouli or Sandlewood. I am not a flowery girl.
7. Do you have a sweet tooth?
CHOCOLATE IS A FOOD GROUP.
8. What other crafts or Do-It-Yourself things do you like to do?
I am a reader, knitter, movie watcher.
9. What kind of music do you like? Can your computer/stereo play MP3s? (if you want to make her a CD)
I like everything, but RAP.
10. What's your favorite color? Or--do you have a color family/season/palette you prefer?
My favorite color of the moment is pink. Normally I am a deep tones person, browns, blacks, deep blues and etc.
11. What is your family situation? Do you have any pets?
I have a wonderful, sweet, divine husband and an adorable seven year old girl. We also have a dog named Newman and a cat named Elsa.
12. What are your life dreams? (really stretching it here, I know)
I want to have enough money to pay my bills, buy yarn and travel with my family. I feel like I have all I could want.

I have gone back and forth about wither or not I should start this blog up again. I really think I was boring to read, there are so many truly good writers out there in blogland, why clutter up the internet with boring blogs. Then there is the technical difficulty. I know a lot about computers and I don't know even more! I am constantly wanting to do something on my blog, but not having the capabilities to do it.
But so much is happening that I would love to have a blog to talk about it all. I am in a Secret Pal group with my Knit Nite and also on the Internet. I have contacted both of my pals, but not gotten any gifts for them yet. I would like to get to know them better before I start buying. I received my first gift today!!!! I don't have a digital camera :<, but I am asking for one for my birthday. I got to work today and a gift was wiating for me. It is a small tin of lampwork beads to adorn my knitting with!!!! I love gifts!!

My favorite place to be...

My bag is back from the felters (my washing machine is an old laundry mat one and does not have any dials, therefore it is without felting capabilities) and I love it!! It is a perfect size, but very FLOPPY. I think next time I will use Lamb's Pride Bulky or Noro Kuryeon. I have taken pictures, but they are not developed yet.
I am now starting a backpack from kids knitting by Melanie Falick ,but I want to felt it. I got some Lambs Pride Bulky in Soft Yellow and Lilac and it is lovely. I am just making everything a tad bigger. The pattern says CO 34 ST and I did 40, it says make the body 10" high and I am going to go to 15". I think it will be fine. It's for my daughter and does not have to be big.
