Why, mine does!<\/p>\n<p>Yep, direct from South Australia, I got a package of goodies!<\/p>\n<p><!--more My God, it's full of chocolate.--><\/p>\n<p>What a cool surprise, to find a box absolutely plastered with stamps sitting in my mailbox.  And happiness awaited me inside!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tvini.org\/images\/Secret%20Pal\/SP6pack.jpg\" alt=\"Secret Pal pack\" \/><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s an article on autism (very thoughtful), a handknit blue beret (blue is my favorite color), a teeny tiny box, and a GIGANTIC CHOCOLATE FROG.  Which I&#8217;m not sharing.  Nyah.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s have a closer look at that beret!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tvini.org\/images\/Secret%20Pal\/SP6beret.jpg\" alt=\"Beautiful Blue Beret\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s made from Cleckheaton Country 8ply, a very nice heathered Australian superwash wool.  I know this because she kindly included the yarn label!<br \/>\nIsn&#8217;t that gorgeous work?  Flawless, and it fits like a glove.<\/p>\n<p>And what was inside that little box?<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tvini.org\/images\/Secret%20Pal\/SP6earrings.jpg\" alt=\"Secret Pal earrings\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Woot!  Score!  Earrings, which I love, but never buy for myself.  I&#8217;m pretty sure she made these herself, and I&#8217;m wondering if she made the box as well.  Clearly, this woman is a triple-threat on the crafting front.<\/p>\n<p>Bottom line, I&#8217;m very happy with the time and effort that went into this package.  My pal clearly went to the trouble of picking out and crafting things which she knew I would enjoy.    What a thoughtful person.
