:D It's funny, when you first submitted your SS information to me, my first thought was, "I wonder if he has a tortoise cookie cutter". :D

You are very welcome! If you get a K-cup machine, there are adapters you can buy anywhere they sell the machines that allow you to brew ground up coffee [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH] the adapter has a little mesh reusable coffee filter inside it.

I am full of random useless information haha.

I love that fuzzy yarn. I have an old chest just plumb full of yarn. Do I knit or crochet? Used to, but not at all now. Maybe I'll bet back into it. When I do, I'll challenge you, Pokeymeg, to a knit off!

Hahahaha, you're on!! It's amazing how quickly yarn can gather. I literally have a yarn shop in my basement and I love it :)

And no, no clues on the box! (On the box I sent out I drew a turtle to identify it as TFO-related [hint hint] and the lady at the post office was worried I had a live turtle in there! haha)

I like the colors of the yarn. I tried knitting again a couple years ago. Only made scarves for my dog. If I went any bigger, like human length, well, it would get really odd shaped:D. Happy knitting or crocheting. Btw which one do you do? Or both.

I'd love to know how to crochet! I'm told it's much faster (and you can make things like turtle cozies!). For now, I only knit :) Scarves, hats, mittens and socks....I don't have the patience for bigger projects!

I think my SS is going to figure it out pretty quick who their SS because I left a clue [GRINNING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]

I love to stop and look at the yarn that's for sale. So many beautiful colors and interesting textures. Looks like you received some pretties!!

I'm glad you like it!!! :D As I mentioned in an earlier post, I came home from the post office only to realize that the card (which also included a little seed packet of purple zinnia seeds since you mentioned gardening) was sitting on my desk and I had forgotten it :/ But I'm thrilled you like the colors! I tried to get a few varieties and textures so you had some options to work with haha

I'm so excited about my SS gift. I received it in the mail yesterday, so I opened it. I had intended to save it for Christmas but I thought maybe it was something I had ordered online. The outside of the envelope said do not bend, so I immediately assumed it was some sort of picture. I really love it and wanted one like it when I saw it online a long while ago. Of couse as lots of cool things I see I had forgotten about it. Anyway, it will go in my tortoise pen on the wall. I will post a picture of it tonight. Thanks, Secret Santa, you really did a great job picking and probably couldn't go wrong with the gift.

Oh I missed that post!!

Thank you!! And the thought of purple zinnia is appreciated too, even if they didn't make it! I actually had some in my garden this year, they are lovely little flowers :)
