Wow! Busy Black Friday for you!! Sorry about your blackberry, but thank goodness, Zknitter to the rescue!! What a fabulous swap pal she is!
Those socks are gorgeous!! And hey, she's been saving that card since last year!! (I definately need to make some more!)
Too cute! Loved the game!
That SUCKS @ Blackberry...I would have never thought to suspend my phone #. Hope you find it soon OR get one that is even better than the last! :o)
Very nice @ extra gift card and 30% @ LYS. Not to mention your ROCKIN' SOCK PACKAGE getting good mail like that makes up for everything!!
And I love that pepperment G candy! Yum!
Ha ha! Most Hilarous post ever! I'm sorry about your blackberry but those socks certainly take the sting off!
I'm sorry about your blackberry! But I've seen those socks in person and boy, are you lucky! They're gorgeous! And a fabulous package to go with them!
Very pretty socks! I only hit 3 stores yesterday - Michaels, Target, and Borders... but I didn't go early in the morning.
whew! I am dizzy and wiped out just reading that post! I was going to take the kiddos out for something to do yesterday, and then remembered you crazy people would be out there shopping like mad! I'll wait for xmas eve, thank you! Did you find your phone?? Great socks too!
Well, after your day yesterday, I am so glad they were waiting for you! Sorry to hear about your Blackberry too!
Squee they fit!! I was so nervous as the pattern called for it to end then or be too big for you! *wipes sweat off brow*
Those are GORGEOUS socks. Fun game -- I can't imagine how tired you must have been. Sorry about your blackberry. Have fun resting up so you can get back into the rush next week -- wearing those socks, you'll probably be able to leap tall buildings.
I'm tired just reading about your day! Is the blackberry officially gone?
Sorry about the Blackberry, but holy cow woman! That was some SERIOUS shopping!
Fab socks and swap score! Lucky girl!
Reminds me of how I thought I had dropped my VISA card in the parkade the other day...hopefully your blackberry will show up; check between the driver's seat and the console.
What great socks and I love the bag and matching yarn!
Love the bag and the sock yarn, and those pretty red socks... you really did luck out.
Your Black Friday activities take astounding dedication. 3:30 am? Wow. You wouldn't be able to get me out of bed before 6 unless I were giving birth or something.
Sorry about the Blackberry ordeal.
Wow, you're braver than me. I lock the doors and lower the blinds on Black Friday.
Phooey re: Blackberry :(
The Embossed Leaves are lovely. And pretty pirate is so . . . pretty.
I am so glad that you like your socks that Zonda knitted for you....I saw them as they were being knitted, and love them. :0)
Balck Friday made me sick!!! I sat in front of Staples from 10 pm to 6 pm when the store opened to get a laptop. But now I am sick!! But atleast I got a noce laptop.
I'm still hyperventilating about the loss of the Blackberry ;)
Zknitter definitely came to the rescue though. What beautiful socks, and a gorgeous bag.
Those socks are great! And I love that project bag. What a cute pattern!
Ouch, sorry about the Blackberry. What a drag.
But that package sure was a great end to your day!! The package you sent her was fabulous too. :)
Absolutely beautiful! You totally scored on this swap! I want some embossed leaves socks too:)
Had to comment to make an even 20 :) Thanks for all the shopping for Glenda and fam-- she's gonna love it!
Zonda is kickass.
