I was ecstatic when I opened my mailbox yesterday to find a package from Kristi at The Speckled Dog. She had told me she was sending me a surprise, and I was thrilled when I opened it to find one of her hand-kit cowls in blue, with a note that said she knew the blue was my favorite! I entered her own giveaway for one a while back, and had said I loved the blue… It is AWESOME!!!! So warm and cozy, and i can keep it on without worrying i will accidentally pee on my scarf tails if I have to go potty while I am out… oh come on! I know you have all had that same fear! I wore it to the bus stop this morning as it was a whopping 20 degrees outside, and kept it on all day as I went out to IKEA (yes, again!) and Target with Emmy. Chris is traveling today, so here are a couple of self portraits… one shot in my new mirror, and the other, hands out in front type. Hopefully even though these pics aren’t the greatest you will see how wonderful the cowl is! I LOVE IT!!!!!!! Thank you soooo much, Kristi!!!!!
