thank you jessica i love it ALL. and, the stuff on top? the cream and green? it is the exact stuff (brand and style, just a different color) that i used last time, so i'll be making myself another one
i got so much cool stuff votive size yankie candles (i love candles) the scent stick thingy in lavender (perfect choice for a scent for me) a copper snow flake, a willy on a mushroom, a willy sign, a one of a kind ornament, a piggy bank, and yarn to make my next scarf i love the one i made, so this yard will be my next one
great gifts to the both of you today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i checked my tracking number again and FINALLY MY BOX IS IN YOUR STATE!!!!!!!!!!!! i am sorry that it took so long, i hate it, i usually am much quicker than this, but i hope it is worth the wait!
Yayyy! I am so glad you got it Jiffy and glad that you liked everything. I have made a few scarves out of that yarn and I love it! It works up fast and is so soft!! I'm glad that it will work for you. I hope that you can use everything. I bought things that I like and that I thought you would like!
I received a box today! From Faerywatcher/ Wendy. I hope she took pics because I can't. I ripped into it and first thing was a rope toy for my dog. She made me a beatiful switch plate cover. There is a pretty tin of peanut butter cups (excuse me while I munch). A fleece scarf, beehive note pad, calender and fridge calender/diary set. Garden gloves and chip clips and a set of kitchen towels/hot pads and oven mitt in my favorite colors. Thank you so much, Wendy. You did good by me. My dog is really enjoying the toy too.

tina, i was wondering if you would get it today! it never occured to me to take pics----sorry but i am glad you liked everything......i was real worried.....i know you don't like alot of stuff that sits around, so i was really stumped! i figured i would send things that could be used, not looked at (except for the light switch----that does not count ) you are most welcome!
NO !! as it happens I was not at home- -I was at Ceramics til noon. Then I took my MIL to the ear Dr. and then to do some Christmas shopping.
Got home in time to fix rod & my #2 SIL supper. Then SIL stayed & visited. AT 7:30 pm I began taking pictures & loading them to photobucket so I could post them---FINALLY I am here able to do so--sorry it is so late !!!!
list to follow !!
I got so many presents!! Each one was individually wrapped with little notes on each--One even said to "open me last"-- my gifts: 1) "Merry Christmas Flag" it is a big one--and since my flag pole outside is for a small flag DH said he would fix it so I could use it inside !!! YEAAAAAAA--'cause I love it !!! 2) "frog" windchimes---now who would have thought ???? 3) A Rainbow angel--you turn her on & she changes light colors that show thru her skirt 4) 2 Holiday flower Pot Huggers (Santa & Frosty) 5) A Blue & green "starburst" suncatcher-- 6) Navy colored gloves (yes!) how did you know I needed gloves???? 7)A Box wrapped in pretty blue paper with a lime green ribbon on it with Many types of Flower seeds in it. I had been taking about seeds with Diane for some time-- 8) a Peanut Butter rawhidesucker for Dante-- 9) A "silly fun bag" Its note said, I was to open it last--
in it was : a "grow" frog--ya know you put them in water?? a pkg. of mini markers, a deck of mini cards, a mini paint set AND TA!!DA!! a toy frog that you wind up and it bends down & then flips over and lands upright--so funny!!!! it is living on my Computer desk between the "legs" of my monitor !!!
Now for pictures !!!.....................

GEEZ, what are you doing carol....drawing the pictures???????
Wendy, I tell you--I felt like I was--this computer is/was giving me fits tonight--it took 2 1/2 hrs to load the pictures to Photobucket & then It was like pulling teeth to get them to copy correctly to TGH--I have never had such trouble before.
The good news??? next week I get high speed internet !!!!!

Carol,, I'm soooooooo glad everything was to your liking! I had a feeling the Christmas garden flag was going to be too big But I couldn't fine a small one ...Thanks for posting a picture of Dante' ~ Did he enjoy the peanut butter sucker?? I figured everyone no matter how old or how young should get a grab bag of sillies,, I want to see how big that frog gets after you get it in water,, it is already big to start with .. your title is where I got the frog theme from,, That was the motivation for the PM about the reason for your title and why I questioned " why Frogger" I couldn't believe the purple datura seeds got there before your Box did, with a note in it saying "I forgot to put these in your Box" I thought "OH NOOOOOOOOO " When you PM'd me and asked about the meaning of the note with the seeds,, Sorry I had to fib and tell you " I don't understand what you mean ? It's always fun for me to gift others.. Glad you likey likey!!
"Grace without perfection is more to be desired than perfection without grace."
Not to worry about the size of the flag--as it works out--it works out!!! you See..... with my recent surgeys i was not able to get into my christmas decorations like I would have liked--SOOOOOOOO Rod (the DH) said we could fix the flag up somehow to display in the house--So today I am buying a dowl & I will hang it from a door in the Living room --it will be part of my Christmas decorations!!
Enjoy the sucker Dante` did !! it was a good thing I snapped the picture when i did--because he made short work of it !!(his was the first gift I opened)
As the frog will take 3-7 days to grow, I will begin to "grow" it over the weekend and post a picture ASAP, OK?? and yes it should bet quite large as it is rather large already!!!
I completely understand about the "fib"--I would have done the same thing!!!! It wasn't your fault the letter got to me before "The Box"--there is no telling about the U.S.P.S.--is there?
Thanks Again!!!!
I loved all my "surprises"

Great Gifts Jessica and Jiffy!! Heyyyyyyy today was J day for Gift posts!!!
My box to @#$%$! should have been delivered today,, It's been in that town for 2 days now!!
the PO closes at like 10:45 on saturday and the postal carriesr are out on delivery about 9 or earlier, depending on the amount of mail--so it likely got into town in the afternoon--(I often see a huge mail truck in the PO parking lot on saturday afternoon)--BUT that does not explain monday, does it???
BYW we are a town of about 1,000 people--So-it is not like a package would get lost---

Hey, Tina and Carol both got some cool gifts!!!! Yay!
Carol, I love my big flags I put outside, would you be able to mount a wooden flagpole outside sometime???? I used to not like them with the decorative flags, but then I started buying them and now I have TONS of them!
Cool that it will be inside for you this year though.
