Well, I have been out of pocket a few days and told mom to come here and post for me.............SHE FORGOT! I got my goodies thursday from Patunia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I LOVE EVERYTHING! Mom was with me when we went to the post office and I could not wait to open it so we opened it in the bed of her truck parked on the side of the street! Styrofoam peanuts and tissue paper went flying. YOU WERE WAY TO GOOD TO ME! I am short on time right now and wont have pics and descriptions till tomorrow night, but I could not let another day go by that I did not say THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! Cant wait to show and tell!

Bettyboop...............so glad you like yours, the glass heart was my fav and appearantly yours too! It looks great with your plants!

We'll check in tomorrow night and tell of my treasures and see who else got theirs! :ding:

WHEW!!!!
I was about to send the hounds hunting.
so glad everything got there, i was getting a little worried about the peppers!

Goody--Goody

another swap box reached its destination !!!

I cannot wait until tomorrow night !! I love seeing pictures of everyones goodies!!!! and tomorrow night we get to see more of them!!!
This is so great every time someone gets a new box, it is just that many more good times we all get to share.

OH Fun, More great stuff!
More pictures PLEASE!

Well, I am sorry to say my pics will have to wait for a few days..............BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN I DON'T LOVE IT ALL! My grandmother (mom's mom) fell and broke her hip on saturday afternoon, so we were at the hospital all day today. It is almost 2 hours from us so we will be on the road a bit for a while. Tomorrow we will find out when she will have surgery to fix it, but until then, mom is very stressed of course. Until we know what is going on when, I won't be around very much (not that I am now)

BUT.............here is a list of my goodies.............
-bag of FRESH peppers straight from the garden (which is now at the bakery because we eat alot of chips and salsa when we don't have time for lunch, so they will be perfect to add in)
-a pattern of a christmas stuffie to make that is adorable! It is a reindeer called Jingles and I can't wait to make it!
-a ladybug kneeling pad to work in the garden with
-amaryllis bulb complete with pot to grow----------GORGEOUS!
-dragonfly temporary tatoo which I am already wearing one on my neck trying to figure out if this is where I want my second one. Never thought about those to test try! Already have one real one on ankle
-peanut butter cups-----------GONE
-dream catcher keychain going to hang in truck
-green votive candle with extra candles
-dragonfly with hydrangeas note cards
-elf with small watering can :ding:
-UNICORN JOURNAL :ding: :ding: :ding:
-very large purple 3-D star to hang with all my fairies here!
-snowman bell that is soooooooooooo cute!
-seed packets!
-GORGEOUS FAIRY PIN........Lynne sent me the same one last year and it hangs in the bathroom on one of my towels so this one will go on my kitchen curtain. I AM SO GLAD TO HAVE 2 NOW...........MAYBE I SHALL HAVE ONE FOR EVERY ROOM!
-necklace kit CAN'T WAIT TO MAKE!
-and a euro coin from Ireland where fairies really live!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pat, you were so very good to me and I am now truely spoiled by every swap that I have done here! THANK YOU THANK YOU

I will check in when I can and I hope everyone has had a blast with yet another succesful swap!

:ding:

Wendy,
That iIS a very nice list of items. You indeed are very fortunate and Patunia did a very good job!!!

I cannot wait to see pictures---but of course I will do so patiently.

Wow Wendy, you did great. Cant wait to see pics.
So sorry to hear about your grand ma, Best wishes for her recovery!

Yes, prayers for your grandmother Wendy! Sounds like you got some terrific things! I will try to wait patiently too!

Sounds like you got wonderful gifts!! Praying for your grandmother!

Wendy, I posted a prayer for your grandmother in the prayer thread

Thanks for your prayers! She is out of surgery and in recovery now. Looks good the dr. said and mom is staying the night. I went and did her animals after work today so I am going to crash soon. Sorry for hijacking this, but I wanted you to know why I did not post pics yet. Love to you all...........going to bed.

:ding:

for your grandma, Wendy. Falling and breaking a hip is soooo scary.
I hope she heals fast. Good thing your mom is staying overnight with her, when she wakens during the night , there will be a familiar face to see to her needs.
take care.

Prayers For Wendy's Grand ma from me too

Ohhh Boy I got a box today too and I'm Not even in the swap!!!!!!

I could tell By the contents that It was for the gift swap,,,, But Unfortunately for ME ,,, it doesn't belong to me ,, At least I don't think so ,, Don't worry I didn't take everything out,, it would have been too hard to repack it as good as it was packed,,,,

Uhhhhhhhh Sandy IF you'll PM me and tell me who your Name for the box is I'll send it on to them From Here, Hmmmmmmmm I guess,,,,,,,, I will The box smells good,, what ever is in there,, and a good thing I'm not hungry either,,,

Heyyyyyyyyy I like your second Idea Best!

Who is Sandy? I didn't see a Sandy in the swap.

and Sandy Just logged out,,,,,,,,,,

Somebody is getting this Box Soon,,,, By way of Tx

Oh no! I wonder how that happened?? Hopefully Sandy gets back here soon!!

I think my package should arrive to its destination soon.

Oh no I got you mixed up with loz
the box is for her ,lol I am a nummy for sure,So sorry loz
that ur box went the wrong way.Maybe I could blame it on a drunk
mail man lol,But after i looked after seeing the post I didn't have her addy

So Sorry

Wow Someone got a mystery box?? Cool!

Yup it was for Loz and I goofed
up on the addy,But I am saying the mail man was drunk lol
now my gift buddy has to wait alittle bit longer,I hate it to
I am so sorry loz I messed up,But sure when you get it you will
like it all I hope

No worries..... A few more days of waiting won't kill me.

I think waiting will inhance the anticipation. :wink:

It's on it's way Loz I sent it out today!

TY very much Angelblossom,

Somebody should get a delivery today

I'm pretty sure it isn't me Jess.

and somebody DID get a delivery today....ME!
thanks Jessica!!!! what a neat box of goodies! and it had been such an awful day, then i come home to a gift box, and i just cheered right up.
Everything in there is so thoughtfully picked out. theres bags of sugar free candy and two darling Christmas hand towels, one blue and one deep green with very cute christmas motifs on them a big ol candle in a kerr jar cinnamon roll scented....yummmm , a darling little metal bucket votive holder with a snowflake on it, a huge bag of dog goodies, (they fell on those like little wolves) a big bag of red and yellow tulip bulbs and Another big bag of crocus, in all the colors. and there is a webkinz in the box too! the bat! i love it, it's huge! my sister has been playing with it for an hour, i guess she claimed it for her own! and then theres the really cool bird house- it has that rustic look i love, and has snowmen painted on the front. its just adorable. and the card was lovely and the whole box smelled so good, she tossed it a scented sachet. i could smell it before i opened the box. oh, and the pinwheels! what fun!
WHEW, i think that's it, here's a picture.
thanks so much for everthing! plantqueen? make that, giftqueen!
