Today i was expecting a package in the mail. My mail man is... not always the most, um... well... he tends to do less than the minimum required to meet the requirements of his job. Since I was grazing the horses in the yard and the fence crossed the drive I figured he would never walk to the house (he sits out there and honks usually, even when he can pull all the way up to the house) and to be honest i was not entirely sure he would notice the lime green surveyors tape dangling off the wire in time to keep from driving through the temporary fence.
So I went out there around the time the mail normally comes just in case, and spent some time just hanging with the ponies. He was almost 2 hours late, and I got a sun burn on my shoulders while I was waiting but I really enjoyed the time just chilling with the hairballs. I also got pictures.
Well, after chillin' for hours he ends up just cramming it into the mailbox. I had to shred the envelope to get it out, but thankfully my craft exchange gift was unharmed. This was an event we had at Global Family Room.... check it out, I have a huge freakin' ad for Global Family Room right over there ----------->
Anyway, I got a cool wash cloth and a book mark. Jeni, this wash cloth with the horse head on it? That was what the red and white one I sent you was SUPPOSED to look like, hehehe! The horse head is much more noticeable in the one my swapper made.
Then I got this gorgeous blue knit shawl with fringe along the ends. I could not get a single picture of it that shows the colour accurately. It is a bit more smokey blue than it looks in this picture:
I couldn't get a decent picture of it on me, I'm having a bad hair/face/skin/everything day, lol. So I forced my poor red eyed child to model it for me. It is not as smokey grey looking as it looks in this picture, it is right smack dab in the middle of the two pictures when you see it in real life:
So THANK YOU Catrina! I LUFFFFF IT SOOOOO much!!!! I can't wait for chilly evenings so I can wear it. *MUAH*
...did you ever post about the awesome craft swap gift YOU made for ME? :)

ReplyDeleteEdit because I am sooo not together yet this morning....
ReplyDeleteMoonfire: OMG, I don't think I did! I will have to do that later today!
Jen: Isn't it scary how much she looks like me? She got the tall and skinny from her dad and everything else, all the way down to her wise cracking mouth.... all me. lol. I bet it drives her dad insane.
I'm in the early stages of training Brego but won't be actually getting on his back until i have my round pen set up. Since I am doing everything solo I don't want to climb on him in the barn lot with the barn and the trees and the T posts to impale myself on. lol. Plus I have a slight problem with needing him to fill in a bit through the back before my english saddle fits him. I'd rather not do it bare back and I spent all my money on the horse so I can't really afford to buy a saddle that will only fit him until he bulks up. lol.
Love the feather shot! He's lookin so good!
