*****SQUEAL****

 i'm chatting away on the phone and my two four-legged doorbells go ballistic. it was my snail mail lady, donna with a box...."huh, i didn't order anything" then i noticed the hawaii part....she jumped when i squealed.

my MiniQuilt from the APQS swap arrived!!!!!

(HI has their own special priority boxes!)

join me as we open it together....

oh, dark chocolate covered macadamia nuts and toffe popcorn and macadamia nuts!  Quilt fuel!

look at the pretty tissue paper....

i love the necklace....thanks to google i learned it is Kukui Nut Leis.

i love surprises! what could this be?

this is a travel pillowcase wrapping.....

(the pillwcase's form was included)

a very appropriate book :)

a CD with music i can quilt to! i already loaded it into my Ipod...

 *drumroll* without any further adue

MY MINI-QUILT!

can't you just smell the salty sea air and hear faint ukulele music?

i love hibicus! my granny had tons of plants in the front yard.
