NO thanks! I have enough of my own!

@Cindy

Cindy! I wonder how big of a box she would have had to have gotten for that!

@Cindy!!!

Ya know as I was writing that i thought Cindy is going to say something about getting a bill in the mail!!

Nothing for me today. But no bills, so that's nice!

Don't forget to poke a few holes in the box!

like one of those water bottles for hamsters that stick out the side of the cage??

I am packing my box tonight. So #### and #### have presents on the way tomorrow. I hope they both enjoy their surprises.

I am on the road next week so when you receive if I do not reply quick it is because I have not logged had time to play on the net.

Work keeps getting in the way of my fun.

WOW that was fast Triss!!! Ohhhhh Cindy you got a box full of goodies!!!! That pot is awesome and will be a beautiful mosiac on a another pot!!

my box will be sent out on 1st of may

Yay! My DC# is working. My box is really on it's way!

you folks are too funny! i've finally got internet back, but thanks to cindy holding my hand via the phone today, i knew that the box from triss arrived good job triss. you told me but gosh, it is better than you described!

I am glad that it was the pot that broke and not the Jack.

Kidnapping plan?? I don't know anything about that I like to think of it more as a homosapien relocation project (HRP).

My dang DC number doesn't say anything new. Why not? Grr, it's past evening!

Mine and moms are going out today for definite! I'm taping mine up now, and heading over in a bit to help mom package hers up too.

I just sent my box out today also!!

So..OORGWLSS..should be getting it Mon. or Tues. I hope!!!
Going to let Jiffy know now.

triss thats too funny!

holy cr@p penny DONT FORGET THE CARD! you of all people would shurly confuse someone!

HOORAY!!!Am I second after Cindy???
..........I Got My Box This Afternoon!!................

Thank you Tina!!!!
She didn't have a card in it, but there was so many gifts that she has to be my secret pal!!!

This is going to be hard without a camera!

I won't put it all in one post.

First I got a wooden brightly painted sign shaped like a birdhouse with 'Happy spring' across the top and it has a yellow flower with leaves and big bees!! It's so cute. It has hooks on both sides on the back so you can hang it, but I am going to get a stake and glue it on the back so I can stick it among the flowers outside.

And...I got a wonderful, warty frog with google eyes, sitting atop a rock, holding a sign which says, 'Welcome'. He will go outside among the flowers also. I love him!

Tina, everything is so great!!

Some more for outside is a windchime made out of wooden pieces carved to look like bamboo and stained dark!! I really like those!! Because I'm not usually thrilled with the mettle noisy ones. These make hollow wooden sound that is more primitive, and I like primitive stuff!!!

And another 'hangie thingie' for outside has wooden beads on it with a wooden bird hanging on the end. Very nice, and matches the windchime!!!

I also got a package of corms to plant and a package of seeds!!!! The corms are called 'IXIA' which I don't remember seeing and will look that up on the net. One plant is a tall stalk with flowers up and down the top of it and slender straight reed looking leaves growing from the base.
Can't wait to see them grow!! :wink:

The package of seeds are the very ones I have been intending to buy!!! I know I have never mentioned them, so how lucky can I get??? They are COSMOS..Seashells Mix!!!!!I just love the seashell petals!!! Thank you
Tina

That's not all!!!

I got Willies!!

One is a large stake, and he is holding shears. He's wearing, besides his peaked hat, a beige plaid shirt with a leather look vest!!

The other Willy is wearing a blue jacket and sitting atop a wonderfully, marvelous snail!! He's sitting there reading a book. I love my Willies!!! And am so happy to add to my collection.

Also, two of the CUTEST pot hangers!! One is such a sweet Bee, and the other is the other is a baby monkey! They both have bobble heads!! They are very sweet and are going to have a happy home hanging on my pots. They will probably chase each other from pot to pot!!!

And then.....

I entend to go to the park this spring and summer and walk the hiking trails!! And I always get so hot!!....So...little Miss Tinda with ESP!!!....sent one of those water bottles with a fan in front of the nozzle to spray your face and neck and whatever!!! How cool is that? (or it will be)!!

So, after my exercise, I can eat what else she sent!!!;
A large bag of Chocolate Mint Patties!!! That's going to be so good...but then I'll have to walk AGAIN!

Wow Shirley, that's really GREAT stuff that Tina sent you! I'm so happy that you got yours today!

I bet you had a blast ripping it all open. Do any of your kids have a camera that they could use to take pictures for you?

I officially just mailed mine with the tracking number.....the shipping total almost made me faint. Someone remind me next time NOT to use my own box....it would've been cheaper with 2 flat rate boxes.

Then....as Cindy would say:.....Last but not least:

...........a bottle of SAMBUCA!!....................

It came packaged in the cutest wooden crate! I'm going to use the crate to set small pots of sprouts in!

Tina, you either remembered reading where I was talking about the Sambuca I drank when in CA, or someone told you!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you Tina,for all the wonderful gifts and the surprise of Sambuca!!!

That is so awesome, Shirley! What great gifts, Tina! Congrats on getting the Number Two Spot!!

Hmmmm, you know my secret buddy should be getting their stuff today or tomorrow.

Shirley, I knew you didn't have a camera and I had planned on taking a pic of everything before I packed it. But I got enthusiastic and sealed everything up. With out a card or pic or anything. But you have great descriptive powers.
Nothing broke in there? I worried about the Sambuca.
I'm glad it got there in a timely manner. I was worried you were going to wet yourself while waiting.

That is so awesome Shirley! You got lots and lots of wonderful gifts! Good choices Tina! Can't wait to see pics if you can get your son to come over and take them for you Shirley!

Oh, it was such fun taking each thing out of the box!!
(I had to turn up the bottle and have a taste when I came to the Sambuca!!).
Only one of my sons lives in Ohio but would not drive down here to Cincy just for me to take a picture!! I wish he would get the idea, and get with his brothers and they could all chip in and buy me one for Christmas!!!!
Of course that doesn't do me any good right now!!

Oh Tina, how thoughtful of you to think of taking the pics for me!!! That is sweet!

Naw, I wouldn't have wet myself! I do get excited though!!!

I'm glad I was able to describe everything OK.

Thank you! I love EVERYTHING! I think I saw the Better gnomes and Gardens in one of your pictures and wanted it!

Patty, is that your swap package?????? That's awesome, such a nice variety of things!

Ohhhh good I'm glad you got it so quickly!! ANDDDDD I'm glad you like everything!!!! These gift swaps are soo much fun!!!!

Yes Loz its from the giftswap!

Wow Shirley YOu got a great package!!!!!


Patty M ( ND farmgirl ) got my package for gift swap today she posted in a new thread.

What did she do that for??!!!! I'll go look for it.

Yeah, I loved all my gifts! I sent Tina a PM to thank her personally. She really did great!

Wow! Wonderful gifts Diane!
