ok so here is the pic of my wonderful RAOK from the great Penelope C. She sent me a teaser as to what she's going to be spoiling me.
The little blue yarn is 60.5 yards of the first yarn she spun on her new wheel! Isn't that so sweet! She personally designed the recipe cards for me in hopes that I would get an interest in baking. I save the best for last, the beaded row counter! it is so pretty!! I just love the colors!! The red is so cherry you could eat them! lol Now to learn how to use it... ; )
Thanks again Pene I just love it all and am so geeked about getting spoiled by you!!

Lizzie of Gryffindor and Emma of Slytherin ...
