Got my giftee… off to the pantry and the knitting basket to see what I can scramble up. Eagerly anticipating what delights await me from the imagination of my Santa. ---

Doing some local shopping Thursday. Already have one item for sure, going to see what else I can find that will fit into the flat rate shipping box, kind of forces me into creativity since it’s not very big. Already having fun! We’ll see in another couple days whether I can stick to the box I already have or not! ---

I need to rush due to the hazards of international shipping; last year I was first to post and one of the last to arrive… ---
