A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall 2008 Fall Gift Swap---The FUN has BEGUN!!! Pt 3

GREAT stuff that Jess picked out! That's cool that you got the bat! I think if I got it I'd name it Belfry.

I'm glad you got your package today!

I named my bat Belfrey a couple months ago. A very cool box of goodies. I am glad that it cheered your day up. You did very well, Jessica. It is still fun to watch everything happen here. Even the couple of glitches are kind of fun.

Only 2 left now.

Patunia: What an awesome box of Goodies. !! I don't know what I like best, but I think I am leaning toward the crocus bulbs.

Jessica, you did super job choosing all of Patunia's suprise goodies.

Yayyy!! You got it! I'm glad that you like everything, Patunia!! I love shopping for the swaps!!

Oh by the way....the pinwheels were just for fun because you said you wanted a spinner and at this time of year those were the closest things that I could find!

Who will be next??/ Will Loz be the next recipient of a "swap box" ??

I guess we will all have to "Stay Tuned" to see, huh???

Oh More great stuff! I love the bat!
What are the little cloth things with the christmas scenes on them??
Cant quite tell!

That'd be too cool if mine got here today! If so then it will be here within an hour.

Those are hand towels Kim!

I got my package this morning! Sorry I couldn't post earlier but I was out most of the afternoon! Thank you sooooooooooooooooooooo much Sandy. And thank you Diane for sending it on.

Everything is really great!

This is beautiful and lights up so pretty! And how pretty are the birds behind it! I love them.



This angel is adorable!



I love these Gingerbread men with their dangly legs!



And an oil burner, bath salts, and tealites. A fizzy egg that I think is for Athena for the bath....it has a dinosaur inside it! And some bags of chips for me to much on!



How cool is this birdhouse for Fall?



You did a great job, and thank you so much once again.

This is some great stuff. Sandy did a great job. This stuff says "Loz" to me. You have had a very gifty day, Loz.

Jiffy, my present was going to be seeing you.



Loz, is that an oil burner or a tart burner. I have 2 of what are called tart burners and you put a flat candle, called a tart, on the top and a tea light in the opening, light it and your house smells great. You can re-melt the melted wax for several times and it still smells good.

And Loz, you know I have a daughter named Ginger and I'm always looking for gingerbread stuff. You have my address.

I have a tart burner exactly like the one Loz got.--mine is blue.

Then I have a white one from a Yankee Candle shop that is a whole lot like it.

I LOVE them--they are wonderful.

and yes the tart burner--the "tarts" are scented wax with no wick.

(psssssst don't tell anyone but I have taken scented tea lights, removed the wick and use them as tarts--I think it is cheaper to do so)

psssst, so have I!!!
and i also shave off some of my favorite candle stubbies into the pot
everything melts down just fine, my tart melter is electric tho.

Hey--*Carol whispers* I do that too, and my tart burner is the tea light kind.
\
but so glad to hear that others do it too.

I have an electric metal punched tin tart burner that you put the wax tarts in.....the one that Sandy sent me is neat because, yes, it takes oil on the top! Really smells so much stronger than the tarts. I have it on my stove right now.

Is that it?? are we all done?

No, one more is outstanding. But the tardiness is forgiven by all. We will get to see one more set of pictures and a list of wonderful stuff.

No Ma'am there is one out yet.....well part of it is out yet.... :wink:

Not a gift swap but yesterday I sent
a few surprize's out lol I hope who ever
get's them like it just want to send a
few people a gift

oh goody--

hopefully we'll get to see more pictures......

the best tart ever was Yankee Candle peppermint. They stopped making it!!!!!! Everyone commented on how fresh my house smelled when I melted those.

I love it when they label stuff things like "Fresh Snow", or "Beach Breeze", "Sand", etc........I'm a tartoholic. I love buying all the different scents.

Can't wait to see what other goodies are going out!

That is such a sweet thing to do. You know those are the kind of things I like to do. I have precious few friends, but I do like to send things to folks just to make them smile!
I do it more cause it makes me happy!

yep me too--that is why i like Christmas so much--that and the 'boxes' I like to send every once in awhile around here.

Yes I love to give gift's but hate to wrap them,I hope they don't mind the sloppy wrapping lol.

Well I know one got a small gift today
I am waiting on Loz to Show her's that
goes with her other one

And I love it! Thank you. It might be later when I upload the pic....today is my anniversary and I have to do something with myself in case we go out.

did you just mail these yesterday and I already got them. How cute. I love it.
