We've been soo busy this weekend, I didn't even get a chance to get on and see if the box arrived! Soo glad you like everything, Carol. I have a picture that Stephen took of the process of making the whittled cranes and chickens and such that the man makes. I didn't have any photo paper to print the picture onto when I packed up your box and I didn't want to wait any long to send it out. I will post it for you here and if you want a full sized picture, your going to have to email me for it, OK?

Jenn, thanks for posting the photo and for the offer of a larger picture, but this view will do nicely. My DH will be expecially interested in the process, as he was quite taken by the crane itself. Our thanks to Stephen as well for taking the picture.

Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain!! .....
I am glad to see that only 2 boxes have been received, it does not make me feel so bad that I am running later than I wanted. BUT I PROMISE _____________ WILL GET YOURS BEFORE THE DEADLINE! Wanted to get a few more things last night but was too tired after another bakery weekend. Gotta go to town on wednesday so that should wrap it up!
Here is the start....this will take quite a few posts. I had to take lots of pictures to get everything! My package came from Loz and she spoiled me!!! You did a wonderful job!
Here are a couple Christmas things....a snowman and a little wreath.
I didn't get the best picture of this so I think I will have to try again. This is a willow figurine. It is called "Heart of Gold". I collect the willow figurines and this reminds of Tristen. It is so cute!!
I should have turned the flash off for this one I guess. It is a little glass decoration with a red rose on top. It lights up too. Too cute!
These candles smell so good! One is Santa's Cookies and the other is Gingerbread. Perfect for the upcoming holiday season!
Here is a word seek (I love doing these), a Campbell's cookbook which I can't wait to try things out of (I love trying new recipes) and a cute little notebook.
A soap with a cute little bear picture on it
A microfiber hair wrap. I don't have one of these so I can't wait to try it!
This is a "Shining Star" penguin for Tristen. He thinks it is so cute and so do I. He doesn't have any Shining Stars so we can't wait to try it out!
Tristen also got a whoopee cushion (which he has under the cushion on James' dining room chair right now), a cycle set and a little treat bag. He is so excited about it all. He was laughing so hard when he was playing with the whoopee cushion. I'm sure he will get us many times with that thing!
Here is an adorable bee windchime, gardening gloves (which I never seem to have enough of), iris bulbs (I don't have any irises right now so they are perfect), a super cute little bird plant watering stake, and a little shovel.
Here is a closer pic of the bee windchime!
I got a finch feeder and gnome rain gauge which is super cute!!
Lots of fun Avon stuff...shower gel, lotions, body powders, lip balm and lots of other stuff! Love it all!!!!
A friend plaque that says....It's nice to have a friend to talk to all the time, sharing all your secrets with someone true and kind. Such a special person who makes everything worthwhike, and everytime you're with me you always make me smile. That is such a precious saying! That will go on my dresser!
Two cute little plaques with gardening sayings.
A lavendar scented pillow (smells absolutely wonder) and a fleece throw (very comfy). I was reading an article the other day about how the scent of lavendar makes women sleep better so this will go on my bed!!
Some "Cha Cha" yarn (it is black but is hard to see about my chocolate brown furniture) and a fold up scissors which is perfect to go in my knitting bag!!
A gardening book, two little mini garden flags and a super cool spinner! I will hange that up outside and get a better pic of it!!
Loz shared some of her English candy with me!! I got a Crunchie bar! Can't wait to try it after we have dinner!!
A pretty card with sunflowers on the front and a very special bookmark that says Jess and the year 2008 handmade by Loz! I love it and will cherish it forever!!
Sorry to overload everyone with pictures but Loz sent me such wonderful gifts and I couldn't fit them all in a few pictures. I hope I didn't miss posting anything! She picked out perfect gifts for me and I great appreciate each and every one of them! Loz, you have become such a wonderful friend to me and I love all these wonderful gifts! Thank you again!!!

As far as the friend plaque---you might not really be with me...but you are with me on the phone a lot and that's all I can get, so that's what I will take!
I'm glad you like everything Jesica! The Campbells book isn't really a cookbook, it's a place for you to write down all of your family recipes! I would've bought myself one because I thought it was cute, but I don't cook that much.
And I'm thrilled that Tristen got a kick out of his Whoopie Cushion.
That Magix Face Perfector is my FAV. Avon product right now. I just had to send you one of them.
The Heart of Gold willow because I think you have one.....
Anyway, I'm just so happy you got them today! They left St. Paul yesterday morning and I was keeping my fingers crossed that they'd be there tonight! I still can't believe that I had your name! I had to bite my tongue not to say, guess what--I have you! It was so hard!
OH MY GOODNESS! What a wonderful surprise. There was a BOX on my porch last night! THANKYOU so much Sheri! I think you outdid yourself. I will get batteries in the digital And post piccies today. OK heres a rundown, IF I can remember.it all A wonderful longsleeve tee shirt that says North CArolina.. How did you know I loved long sleeved tees?? 2 pair of fuzzy halloween slippers. Wonderful.. A candle that smells like a REAL cookie.. Good cause with my diet thats all I get. A darling snowman nutcracker ornament, Puffy snowman window decal, really great for my window in the winter that is too big and birds tend to crash occasionally. A snowman picture frame. Love it! A packet of Zinnia seeds from Sheris own garden! And she remembered how much I love them. Wish it were spring! Oh and these cool nylon Garden gloves. Cant wait to try those. And a darling Xmas bear. Another thing, how did you know I have several Xmas stuffed critters that sit out in a chair every christmas! You are wonderful. You made my week. Oh and ____________ Your goodie box went out last evening. :wink: And I guess my post office is pretty good, sheri, you had 11470 instead of 11570. And I still got it in record time. Small town, My mail lady knows me.
Very cool stuff, Kim. I'm glad the zip code glitch didn't hang things up. I can't wait for pics. It sounds like Sheri has done a good job of choosing things for you.

Sheri, the cookbook is one that you write your favorite recipes in. I really need that because I collect so many recipes from other people so I have loose recipes all over the place. This will come in really handy!
Sounds like you got a lot of wonderful gifts, Kim. Can't wait to see pictures!!
Kim, in the PM where you sent me and Jiffy your address says 11470. You must've made a typo. I'm so glad that you still got your package though, it's a small town here too and I'd still get mine no matter what.
I can't wait to see the pictures of your goodies, it sounds like Sheri did a very good job!
Jess, I knew you had a zillion recipes so I thought that might come in handy. Did you try the Crunchie bar yet? There is nothing here in the US to even compare them to....but I like them a lot.

Remember when Cindy had those candy bars that can't be bought everywhere. I can't think of the name. She sent me one and full or not I ate it as soon as I saw it. You guys have way too much will power if you ask me. Just call me porky.

Oh My gosh, How pathetic am I. Yes Sheri was too kind! Off to set up for a picture session! :wink:
I do it all the time....I'm 314 and mom is 319 so I always transpose the numbers....luckily my town is less than 2,000 people so everyone knows everyone!
I ate the Crunchie bar!!! It was so good!!! You are right Loz...I have never had anything like it before. There is no candy bars here in the US that are even similar to it. I don't even know how to explain it! It sure was good though!! Thanks again for sharing your English candy with me!! And thanks to Mo and Faye for bringing it back for Loz or else I never would have gotten to try it!
English chocolate is just different because it's creamier instead of being that cheap, sugary chocolate. The middle of a Crunchie bar is well, crunchie...it's center looks sort of like a honeycomb with all the little hole in it.
I'm glad you liked it. I don't share my chocolate with many people.
Well heres one.. The dumb digital camera is old and it keeps saying the battery is exhausted. Brand new batteries. I have one other pic I need to upload. OH and the glads on the table they were the last from my garden.. the colors were fantastic.
