It really IS like Christmas around here.

The DishPaw Ragger box has arrived and claimed the sixteenth finishing position! When I opened it, this is what I found:

Red and Green!

Holly (oh my, her name even matches) packed me a holiday in a box!

The candy cane cards are sideways to obscure addresses.

The yarn ornament and the “seasonal” stitch markers are wonderful. There was even a little something for Ellie. Even the dish rag for the Dishpaw Captain, Natalie, blends right in! She will be tickled to death when I get this in the mail! The DishPaw Raggers (and I hope someone will enlighten us in the comments about the ‘Paw’ part or their team name) also sent me a tour of the US in postcard form.

Yay!

You know, I just got to thinking about some kind of state matching game played with post cards. I made up a similar game when I was working on my Art Ed degree..a kind of dominoes using the attributes of the pieces featured on the post card. The state one would uses bordering states to make matches: AL could be played on FL or Ga for example. Sorry for the digression, but I don’t want to forget the idea!

Thank you so much again Holly and all the DishPaw Raggers!

PS Holly, we need to add you to the Alabama Knitblogger List.
PPS Prize Postage Update: I ordered a bunch. These are going to be some stamp-laden envelopes when I get finished.
