Jiffy, you should take my name off of the 'still waiting list'.

I have a message from Jayhawk ( Glenda My Sister).

SHe has recieved a package from her Gift swap person Fareywatcher,, However Jayhawk is in the hospital and She doesn't know How Long they will keep her! .
Sooo the box will not be opened untill she returns home and is feeling better>> I Hope you understand

She thought she had a virus a few days ago but has been getting progressively worse, so she went to emergancy room and they kept her,, it turns out her stomach is bleeding.
She was working on the last item to put in her box before mailing it and just couldn't continue and went to the emergancy room,, She does however believe it will still go out on the first or shortly after>> Jiffy has been notified,,, and is cleared and understands.

i didn't even look at that part shirley!

glenda get better soon, we need you here

diane, thank you for the phone call!

Get better soon Glenda, I'll keep you in my prayers.

Oh no! Feel better soon Glenda!!

Get better really soon, Glenda.
Sure hope they find what's wrong!!!

(We're suppose to meet for lunch next month!)

I got my swap Gift yesterday from Land of Oz Thank you Vm
here is pic again TYVM LandOfOz Oh I will be sending My
Gift off tomorrow so ----- be looking.
and a windchime

And what are all the papers with flowers on them?
Are they stationery and note pads or are they seed packets?
What kind of seeds???
That windchime is cute! Is that a frog on top of it?
Come on..give us some description.

I'm so glad that you like them, Sandy! I really had no idea what to get, since this was my first swap. I don't know what that green thing is. It is a bowl, with two frogs on it, leaning on each other and between them is a little spout. I got it from a Mennonite store, and when I called, they weren't sure what it was. So, I'm interested to see if you guys know what it's for. I'll see if I can swing by the store this morning and ask them in person about it.

Cool! I'd use it on my dresser to keep my rings in, or maybe spare change.

Here is a pic of it it is a bowl with turtles on it

Since i have a little bird shelf on porch
where i feed birds,I think i will see if they will drink out of the turtle bowl lol just a ideal to see

Oh that would probably work good I bet!

Very nice gifts everyone!

I will keep Glenda in my thoughts and prayers! Get better soon Glenda!

ME ME!! I'm next!!
I went home for lunch and there was a big ole box on my front step! Full of goodies!
I didn't have my camera with me so no pictures till later. Oh boy! What cool stuff.
Thank-you Shirley!!!!

Wow! Everyone is getting awesome gifts. I just got to remind myself, don't look for a package in the mail until after next tuesday, otherwise I'll drive myself crazy!!

Oh my gosh. Shirley where ever did you get that bird feeder? That has got to be the prettiest one I've ever seen.

You gals certainly know how to pick out gifts.

Oh Wrennie that Bird house is Awesome!!!!! Great CHoice Shirley!!!!! I 'm liking the birdhouse theme! ANd love you plant pot Wrennie!!! It all goes well together!! Great package!!!

Your Kitties appear to be verryyyy grateful for the catnip mouses

Wrennie, I'm so glad you liked everything!
And evidently nothing got broken? I was so worried about the planter and the Willies!
I see by the number of cats you have that I should have gotten more of the Catnip toys!!! Will they share OK?
Oh, and Wrennie, you could have had four of the candy bars...but...four was all they had...and..and..I had never had one...so.......I bought one for ME!!! It was good too!!!
You are so very welcome, Wrennie!!! It was fun!

Oh my Gosh I has to go back and look again I didn't see the Willy rain gauge before!!! I have one just like you and Triss Wrennie!!!

Trissss you got an awesome package too!!! Now you know I sooooooooo Love the Chillin` with the Gnomies Book!! Boy what words I could write in that!!!! LOLOLOLOLOL.. WOW your kids must feel like Christmas, Easter and halloween rolled in one with all the candy and gifts!!! Wonderful Package you sent Faye!!!

WAHOOOOOOOOOO This is fun seeing what everyone got!!!!!! I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOLOLOLOL

I love the pictures you took! I wish I had your camera!!!

Enjoyed seeing where you put things, and things being used.
That was great!

We attempted to deliver your item at 11:27 AM on April 23, 2007 in XXXXXXXXXXXXXX and a notice was left. It can be redelivered or picked up at the Post Office. If the item is unclaimed, it will be returned to the sender. Information, if available, is updated every evening. Please check again later.

Please, oh please---someone please get their package! If it comes back to me I can't afford to remail it again!

Awesome gifts you got there Wrennie--Shirley you did good! And matching rain gauge Willy's is cool!

Triss I love your "Cillin' With the Gnomies" diary!!!

Diane, I can see you writing your Willy Village stories down in it!!

Loz, I wonder why they could leave Wrennies sitting by her door, but they couldn't the one you mailed??!!!

I have no clue Shirley---I didn't mail it to a PO Box.....My postman leaves everything on my porch, I never get notices to pick things up like that.

I was with mom when she found the Chillin with my Gnomies diary....too funny! She had to buy it!

Ohhhh Mannn ME too!!!

if it is a bigger box and there isn't somewhere the postman feels is safe for it, they will take it back to the post office. i've had that happen.

Well my box was pretty big!!! Maybe that's what happened? I sure hope it doesn't come back to me, I think I'd cry!

somehow, i think your person will get it. i saw xxxxxxxx posting in another topic, so i'm sure they are home...

Good! I hope they like their stuff I sent them!

I love that!!! If I find one I'm gettin it. If I find two I'll send one to Diane!!
