My Phat Box Arrived!

It takes twelve days to get to Canada! B and I went off to the post office just to check and she came back so excited - a parcel delivery notice and the May 09 KnitPicks Catalogue were the only things in our box! Since my Phat Box was the only parcel we were expecting, she almost squeeed out of the post office. Then we picked up the parcel at the parcel pick up location and headed home.

.

M was not quite done homework and asked if we'd wait for him. And then we opened it all together. What excitement! There is not a thing in the box that I don't love! What an amazing bunch of artisans!
