The Kindness of Strangers

This is amazing. I started this blog because it was a vehicle for me to document and show off my stuff, since I'm away from a lot of my friends. I did not expect or hope for much from the blogging, except maybe that I would get a few visitors.

Since I've started, I have "met" many nice, creative and interesting people and have had many visitors. A couple of weeks ago, I "met" Julie, who emailed me to thank me for my yarn swift how-to. Her friend made her one from my instructions, saving her from ever having to wind her yarns on a chair back again. Her thoughtful thank you note was already more than enough. It's always nice knowing that people are enjoying the stuff I put out there on the www, whether they post a blog comment, or talk about it in forums or in their own blogs.

Anyway, Julie went above and beyond and sent me some lovely gifts:

A Snow Patrol snow globe! Isn't that wild? I would never have thought that a rock band would have snow globes, but then when you think of the name of the band, it makes sense!

Julie also sent me a tour book. Now I actually have decent pictures to remember the concert.

Again, THANK YOU JULIE. *hugs*
