Kiss My Knits!

In the winter I joined a swap organized by called “Jar o’ Joy.” The idea is that there’s a jar o’ stuff that you send to someone, and they take what’s in it and put more stuff in it. You know a little bit about the person to whom you’re sending the jar, so you can tailor it some. The flickr group for it is here.

Coincidentally, the person who was sending me the jar happened to be someone I knew! and I have worked together, and we read each other’s livejournals, so she tailored it really well. Saturday morning, the doorbell rang. My daughter looked out the screen door and saw the box in the porch, so she grabbed it and ran it to me, telling me to open it. This girl loves mail. And she was not disappointed! Jadelynx included lots of goodies for her! In fact, I opened it, went to get my camera, and by the time I got back it was fairly demolished, as you can see. Jadelynx made a post with a detailed pic of what’s inside, which you can see here. She also included Pocky, which didn’t fit in the jar. Delicious! She knows I love this stuff! The interesting thing is that it tastes a little different than the Pocky I’ve been able to get locally. Hers has more foreign writing on it, so I think it’s more authentic. Jadelynx has the best Pocky!

There are a couple of things I want to make for the jar (time permitting) before I send it along to its next recipient. I already know some about her, but I’m going to try to find out a little more. I love random mail! Thanks, Jadelynx, for the jar, and thanks, Crazycatladymel, for organizing the swap!
