Today is the day...

I received my swap package!!!!!! I've been waiting and waiting and waiting....This is the first swap I had done in awhile. Last year I went swap happy and I had to stop for a bit.....

This swap was organized by Eskimimi on The Blog Hub on Ravelry....

We had to get 7 things for our swap partner and of course fiber was one of those....

Well today I had an eye doctor appoinment, then went grocery shopping...I brought in the first two bags, made the important bathroom stop and immediately went to the front door and this was waiting....

I grabbed it and said, "A box, a box, a box for me!" I plopped it on the bed and MADE myself go back and get the rest of the groceries out of my car. Then I made myself unpack them and put them away (before I tore into it, all pretty in purple and green)
.....and then I tore into the package and opened 4 things before I caught hold of myself....after eating and gaining some sense back, I figured, "what the heck!" and opened the rest! Such great goodies, but you only get to see one at a time....
Frog Tree Alpaca - I love this yarn. It is soooo soft! I have some of the brighter colors, but I love this soft brown, tweedy color...and my favorite kind of crochet hook (other than wood) I love the bamboo handles on these hooks. They help reduce the pain in my finger joints...

It was off to a great start! Thank you to Dragonknits! Take a gander at her blog!

Oooh how exciting. I think I would be the same and open the lot. Look forward to the next few days to see what you've got.
