Secrets Revealed
I got my final package from my SP5 today–Sarah (who, in turn, is one of the hostesses for SP6). It’s so nice to have a name to place with the packages. That’s some Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sport in Cranberry, a very pretty color indeed. Also, some very interesting little balls of Chocolates Britt chocolate-covered fruit . . . a brand I’d never heard of before. Thank you, Sarah. This has been fun.
My SP5 recipient, by the way, was Paula. And, thanks Rox, for organizing the whole thing.
My mail carrier, Sandy, though, says I’m getting too many packages. My SP5 package, the yarn I got yesterday, an order of baking supplies from King Arthur Flour and then these hair products. A large bottle of Elucence Moisture Balance shampoo and conditioner (since Mom and I both use the shampoo), also some Elucence deep conditioner, Devacurl‘s Angel hair gel, and bottles of Jessicurl Hair Cleansing Cream and Aloeba conditioner. You’ll notice, though, that that bottle of conditioner is only about 2/3 full. I sent an e-mail to Naturallycurly.com to ask if I could return it for a full one, and they offered to send me a replacement bottle, free of charge. Isn’t that nice of them? Not only do they have some of the best products around, and the most informative hair-care message boards, but their customer service is just wonderful. I highly recommend them. (And, you don’t need to have curly hair for all the products–the Elucence shampoo and conditioner are just wonderful.)
And, for Katrina: I’m delighted to see that New York and New Jersey have sent caravans of help southward. They say that they gave us so much help after 9/11, it’s the least we can do, and it’s great to see.
Here’s a really great idea for aid: DoSomething.com. Their “Got your back” idea is to donate backpacks–fully supplied with school supplies–for displaced school kids. Isn’t that nice? Something solid that might help all those kids feel a little more cared for.
My Donation du Jour: Habitat for Humanity. Remember, please give all you can! I’ve been making small donations every day, because it makes me feel like I’m doing something, and it will all add up. Susan and Margene and their Give a Little group have over $31,000! Wow!

House Calls
I’m so glad you had fun!! I sure did. The chocolate is actually from Costa Rica…sorry, I forgot to mention that in the note.
Your SP5 final gift looks great! One of these day I’ll become a secret pal too…
Thank you for posting all of your comments and links about Katrina. I must say that your blog is one of the first I go to for information. I am so happy that knitters come through once again!
Last thing – I always enjoy seeing your book list for the month. I’m going to search down Sharon Shinn as well as Dorothy Dunnett (which I said I’d start but my library doesn’t have the first copy of the Lymond Chronicles, so I’m waiting until my birthday to get it). The number of books you read still manages to blow me away!
