I'm about two weeks behind in posting my gift as received but in my excuse I've been a very busy girl. Currently doing a bit of international travel and didn't have my laptop or good wifi connection. I also had to wait for the last of the three gifts to arrive and for my mom to send me a photo to upload. My SS Courtney got me three wonderful gifts, two of which arrived while I was still home. In my likes and dislikes I mentioned wanting to learn how to make amigurumi. I'm so excited now to have an instruction book and some new yarn for making fuzzy friends! I love the variety of colors in the sampler pack of yarn from etsy and I believe the packaging said it was hand dyed. I've never used alpaca yarn but can't wait to feel its softness. Thank you Courtney for my wonderful gifts! I'm sorry I took so long but now I can't wait to go home and get my hands on my new yarns and book! Thank youuu
