Bad Tracy!

The very very sweet card says "here are a few goodies for you".

A few ????????????????????

Oh. My. God!

From her own talents we have:
Celtic Beasties: Halloween or Knot
Pizzazz
Croakworth !!!!

SQUEEEEEEEE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also some gorgeous chocolate:
dark chocolate cocoa nib
milk chocolate wafer crisp
milk chocolate toffee

To quote Sylvester: Yumm - eee yum !!!!

From a friends de-stashing exercise she also sent me:
a cute seashorse!
Witches Stitches: Star Maiden
Kustom Krafts: Hell's Gatekeeper (is she telling me something here?)
CherryTree: Dragons' Treasure
Sarah May: Egyptian Queen

Oh my!  I am such a lucky girl !!!!  I think I do have a couple of the de-stashed charts in my stash already, so if I do, I will share these around to other lucky friends!

Which chart will I kit up first ?????  Ooooh no.  Better get BoInk finished first before Tracy decides to take all these back :) :) :)

AND YES there are better pictures here.

Feeling better Mel? Certainly sounds like it.

Julie Balla said...

Wow - what lovely gifts. And chocolate too - what more could a girl want.

Melissa Hicks said...

Yes actually - there was a little something extra in the package I had been waiting on - so now I have other thoughts to occupy my mind rather than how crappy I feel :)

Mind you I discovered today that looking decidedly ill is a way to get boring meetings wrapped up more quickly :)

Jim Westlake said...

Good for you, have a good day. I'm off to work now.

Melissa Hicks said...

Oh dear and I'm about to make an evening meal and put my feet up!

I'll think of you over the next few hours .....

Janine Smith said...

Is that Trub staking claim there? Looks like you are going to have to ask her nicely if you can have some of that nice little pile. Sorry to hear you have been ill.

Shawn Medrano said...

Great RAK from Tracy!!! Some great stuff in there, what is making a jump to the top of the pile??

Claire EJ said...

hey....I bet you can read your card and understand the language on it...Mine came today and is in Russian I think...don't understand a word of it LOL.

I have the lovely Much Heralded Sampler...drool....chocolate and three destashing charts....Lovely!

Melissa Hicks said...

Oooooh !!!! Swappsies when we finish them?

Think either of us will have a memory by that point?

I think Croakworth might be my first - I got inspired by fabric for it today - now I just need to see how much floss I need and if I have it :) :)

Melissa Hicks said...

Nah - rattle the food tin or threaten evil doings with her Toy. Combination of bribery and fear - works on cats, children and staff at work.

Claire EJ said...

Hmmm..memory, what's that?

I almost think I may swap this in for my RR next year...not sure yet but maybe.

Melissa Hicks said...

Oh gosh - the dilemma - an Inkcircles chart or an Inkcircles chart .......

Hilary Syddall said...

Ooh not a bad Tracy at all! a very, VERY nice Tracy!!

Rosanne Derrett said...

Well it looks as though Trubs has claimed this stash as hers - perhaps the world is ready for a stitching kitty! Lovely giftie and GOOD TRACY! How can one so generous be classed as bed???

Claire EJ said...

I know...IC or IC....to be or not to be....

probably Garden Stars unless I can find a way to make MHS into a band sampler [grins].
I foresee a row of black buildings at the top and the bottom with the other items inbetween...

Lori M. said...

What a fun RAK Mel! Happy Stitching! Tracy is very generous!!!

Tracy H said...

Ha ha, do you like the way I hijacked the other outbound package? LOL. I'd been meaning to send you a thing or two for ages and I'm just so bad at sealing an envelope. Glad you like the goodies.

Melissa Hicks said...

Yes the expected packet of 6 threads was a weeee bit bigger :) :) :) You are such a wonderful friend Tracy !!!!

kay jones said...

Fantastic goodies and hope you pick one for the RR. Who knows my package just MAY arrive some time this year:((

Melissa Hicks said...

Well I just received a letter (yes an honest to goodness piece of paper in the mail) from the UK informing me that your present wont be sent until the end of November :(

Not impressed!

Rachel Cox said...

Lucky girl!!!

kay jones said...

Did they say why? Considering it cost me almost £10 to post it airmail I'm not impressed either.

Can you scan the letter and send me a copy and I'll raise hell here.

Melissa Hicks said...

No no honey! MY present *TO* YOU has been delayed!

Goodness only knows what jaunt your present to me is going on :) :)

kay jones said...

Sorry, crossed wires. I just couldn't imagine why they would hold onto mine. I checked my receipts today and I sent it off on the 16th on the same day as I sent Denise's (Mums) birthday card so I suppose its only been 14 days which isn't all that uncommon. Having said that the package I sent to America last Friday arrived todaY.

Your pressie to me will be all the better foe the wait and I can pretend its my birthday all over again:))

Melissa Hicks said...

That's the way we do it :) :) :) Birthdays can go for soooo long :)
