DRT: I Forgot to Say

The A-Nine-Ilators picked purple for their prizes and 3x Charm selected Red. This means that Purls Gone Wild has the striking turquoise Dish Rag Tag Bags!

I have every intention of getting these in the mail this week. But you know what they say about intentions.

DRT: The Big Swag Reveal

Did Ellie and I had fun unpacking these boxes? Oh my YES!

A-Nine-Ilators goodies!

From Heather (who is truly Heatherific)! Not only did I get a great dish cloth, but Ellie has really been enjoying all the tiny hotel treats! Her favorite:

no rain in here

Shower caps are AWESOME.

Heather, you know what little girls like best. Mama’s too – I really enjoyed my cup of tea this afternoon. Thank you so much for everything, and many thanks to the A-Nine-Ilators Team Captain, Karen, for guiding her team to a remarkable First Place Finish!

Bubble gum! Bubble gum!

Next up is 3x the Charm, with a pocket full of Double Bubble and a beautiful dish cloth from Michelina. I love the teal AND the stitch markers! AND the gum. No pictures of bubbles – they don’t last long. Three cheers for Captain Lesley (no longer of AL) who moved her team towards glory while moving house.

And then, the Purls Gone Wild box! Have you got a minute? This is going to take one.

so. much. stuff.

Look at all the stuff!

Postcards and magnets from everywhere and stickers! Ellie had penguins on her legs at dinner. A wonderful fall colored dish cloth from Donna and sparkly sparkly yarn. The little pattern back there is from Pam, I already got out my yarn to make a catnip mouse. The magnets are on the ‘fridge, the postcards are going to get in our scrapbook and we offer congratulations to Captain Nicole for this nail-biting finish!

Also, whoever invented these is some kind of creepy genius:

bracelets

She has never seen them before, but knew exactly what to do with them. (They are Cat in the Hat – always a popular choice in this house.)

One more round of thanks to everyone for all of our treats! And another round of thanks for making this a spectacular race so far!

But wait there’s more! Four more teams have tagged me – it’s going to be an exciting week!
