are the best kind.
In the middle of cleaning up the screen porch so Rapunzel can have her own “room” to sleep in we sent SuperChic out to get the mail. Which of course meant that Rapunzel had to go and help her close the gate.
Rapunzel came running back in the house, “Mommy, Mommy, Mommy!!!! We got a package for ALL of the girls in the house!”
Looking at the package from across the room I knew it wasn’t from my Mom, or from SAJ. I admit, my curiosity was peaked. I washed the strawberries off my hands and kept trying to read the package upside down from across the room. It wasn’t working. As soon as I was close enough, I recognized the handwriting as BethanyActually’s. I squealed with delight.
Photo filched from Bethany’s Flickr stream.
I knew exactly what was in the package. Who knew that someone could get so excited about headbands. I certainly didn’t.
Apparently when I mentioned to SAJ that I really liked the headband that Bethany made for her, she passed it on, and asked Bethany to make some for all of us.

They are perfect. The colors are exactly what we all wear. But most importantly, they are comfortable, and they stay in your hair/on your head.
I have always loved headbands, but not the headache that went along with them. Now I have two gorgeous headbands and no headache. So if you want a headband of your own, check out her Etsy shop.
Thank you Bethany!!!

That Bethany is like a Christmas elf, always making things for others and we already know that SAJ is too generous for her own good.
So glad you enjoyed the surprise!

Whee! I’m glad I genuinely surprised you, even after you guessed what they were. Now I guess I’d better make some more and put them in my shop, eh?

Oh, and by the way, Brenda told me exactly which colors to make for each of you.
So she was a co-elf!

[...] I’ve made a bunch of crocheted headbands in the past few months. First I made some for my friend Brenda, who wore one of them when her mom, sister-in-law Heather, and nieces were visiting. Heather, who is also a friend of mine, noticed the headband and liked it. Brenda mentioned that to me, and I thought it would be fun to surprise them all with some headbands. So I did. [...]
