When is a secret not a secret?

About 2 years ago, I created a yahoo email address solely for the purpose as a secret identity for Secret Pal's, Swap-bot, etc. Have used it ever since as such, thinking it was secret and showed the email address – that I thought was cute – and used as other ID's. But……………last week, I used the post to a Secret Pal on my KnitTalk list and got a surprise. When she replied to me on the post, I saw my name there, big as could be! Not the cute ID I had created or expected, but my big fat name! My current hostess in Secret Pal 13 tried to give me a hint, I see now, and I didn't catch it about my name showing. Soo, it has taken me several days to find how to change the name shown with the email address – so it is finally done! And I am sorry to all of the SP's of the past, taking away a little of the surprise!!

My Surprise

I received my box from my Secret Pal for SP11. Was it wonderful!! I haven't been out to a yarn store since I broke my leg in mid October so I was yarn hungry!! Very! And my pal spins! So I was gifted with the most wonderful hand spun and dyed yarns. Plus a woven shawl in colors just for me. Fuschia and black. I have wanted to wear it, but temps have been record highs in the 70's. A book from my list, and a new knitting magazine - as I said I haven't been out shopping anywhere. Plus some other goodies. Pictures hopefully are coming! Thanks so much, It's a Secret!
