Angelblossom I LOVE everything! It's like you've known me forever! I can tell everyone I got a catnip plant! They came running when I opened it. I had to put it outside so they wouldnt eat the whole thing! I cant wait to plant it and use all of my goodies. [Linked Image] Now you all are going to have to wait for Loz's batteries and for me to get back from work to see our stuff.

But wait, there was even more stuff!

Some really cute mini sticky notes, and a notepad with a squirrel holding a sign saying Nutty Ideas! laugh Some handmade cards that are really beautiful, and homemade soap--Gardeners soap scrub, and Limelicious soap. And a book about creating a backyard bird garden.

And one really cool thing that I love since I grew up with a weather fanatic for a dad. A Woodsmans Weatherstick that you put screw to a wall outside and it bends up or down depending on the weather. That is so cool, and my hubby will love it too!

Pefect gifts for me Wrennie! kissies Now I can't wait for everyone else to get theres and share in their excitement!

My camera doesnt have a usb port. Its a big honker plug thing that has to go in the back of my desktops tower. So loading them on there is what takes time. Then I have to go to PB and hope Bessy doesnt freeze up while the dial up ISP is loading. And hope she doesnt freeze while the pictures are loading off the camera or from the cameras program to PB perpl I think I'm making me dizzy.
Thanks for the offer Triss.

So enquiring minds....mainly mine, want to know!

What time do you all get packages delivered by your UPSP or UPS man???? Like mine was there around 9am, but I don't get my mail until 2pm....Most of the time they bring the big boxes early like that...sometimes they don't. :p

No need to send more. In the very beginning we said no dollar amount or limit. Everyone does what they can. Sometimes something 'free' can mean alot more than a bunch of money spent.
