To My Wonderful and Inventive Secret Pal, The parcel came yesterday, whilst I was out at the coast with the two youngest grandchildren, so when I returned, it really bucked up an exhausted body.
The photo frame is delightful - and with three grandchildren, I will easily keep it filled! It will have pride of place on the fridge, so it was a really good idea! The Bucks Point bookmark - well - you must be psychic! My Mum informed me that she hasn't had a bookmark from me in all the years I have been lacemaking (don't feel too sorry for her - she has had numerous motifs and things in frames!) so I will get the bobbins wound, and start that one for her - it really is so pretty! What a clever lady Joyce is - and it seems as if lots of you Tasmanian ladies are jolly talented too. The Tasmanian Branch ALG mouse mat is also an inspired idea - ours is getting a bit tattered round one corner at the moment, so I will alternate this one with the other one received from a SP - that one is also native Australian, so I am delighted with both. The bobbins are delightful, and so beautifully spangled with such pretty beads - I really am a very fortunate person, and do thank you so much. I will use them when I make Mum's bookmark ... Last but not least - the letter. The cards are so pretty, and you manage to get quite a lot of information on them! I am so pleased that you had a good time in Sydney, with your Dad and Rod's Mum too, but, as you say, once you are back at work, the holiday seems a lifetime ago.
