So ever since I returned from Terminus, 'Real Life' kicked in high and I've either been running like mad or laid up unable to do anything.  So it was, I've not been able to share some wonderful squee mail and goodies I've received over the past few weeks.

First off the lovely jennbrad52  spoiled me bigtime for my birthday with a lovely hand sewn crochet hook roll that is absolutely perfect for my light up hooks, a crocheted tribble, eyeball, bat, coffee cup holder, water bottle holder, a Twilight 'vampire in training' bookmark and dragon key ring.

Not to be outdone, The Princess aka hp5freak spoiled me with some yarns for my stash including awesome Glow in the Dark yarn and some hard to find rust I need for an afghan I designed.

( Hail to the Princess )

I was totally surprised when this package from calypsobard  arrived with a pair of Tudor Rose dishclothes (tho they are too pretty for that and have become coasters for me, one at work and one by my computer/craft area) a crocheted snitch bookmark and fantastic handmade card!

I really really think I came out ahead in this trade with annamhudson  for one of my Molly sweaters.  In return I received a beautiful dragon wall hanging, cards with drawings of Bella's Old Truck, a crochet hook roll (yes I do have enough hooks to fill both of them :D ) and a weighted bag to keep on the arm of the chair and hold supplies.

( Goodies galore from Anna )

quietish  has been knitting goodies for the Crafty Witches and I received this just in time for Terminus :)

Once again, a trade for a Molly resulted in something awesome as I received these beautiful Molly & Arthur ponies from the talented and wonderful scowling_hermit 

( The Weasley Ponies )

And while I got them at Terminus and not as mail, these are definitely to be squeed over.  hp5freak  started the afghan on her way to Terminus and finished it up the second day there at the HP Crafter's Meetup and it's mine!!!  gray_overcast  made the lovely Hufflepuff Lightening Bolt Scarf and gifted me with it!

And one final surprise was in a package for the HP Yahoo Terminus swap I 'organized'  One of the swappers added this beautiful 'Lily" pin as a thank you for my work on the swap

Hey I said it was Picspam :D

if hubby could join me there too :)  Finally home and glad to see Joe again.  But missing all my friends soooooo very very much. 

Of course, it seems I can't get home without some excitement in my life....




And that is what was left of my tire after it shredded/blew out at milemarker 14 on I-65 south in Kentucky Tuesday night/Wednesday morning at 12:30 a.m. :D  Fortunately was only going 55 due to construction and able to pull car to shoulder.  Called 911 asked for an emergency vehicle of some kind to provide more flashers besides my 4 ways till Geico could send a tow truck.  Wonderful woman who not only had all her flashers on but also helped explain to Geico the problem with towing out of this particualr construction section back to closest place as opposed to the Walmart at exit 2.  Turns out she's a HP fan and, Cowgirl, don't forget to send me your addy cause I am totally making you that Molly sweater I promised you that night.

Got tires on at Walmart (ended up getting 2 since if 1 went, I wasn't sure I wanted to trust the other one on the front as we got them the same time.

Terminus?  Wonderful, amazing, awesome!

Details and photos later once I get caught up
