WANTED: Where's Little Ms Rule Breaker?

19 years ago

Cause I want to give her a big hug!

Terri, thank you, thank you, thank you ~ you did absolutely perfect in choosing items. I am totally blown away by the items handcrafted by you... you are an amazing woman.

Terri sent me the most wonderful soy candle, fragranced with

ginger peach, it's lovely. She also sent some fragranced body balm, which feels so soothing on my dry winter skin. Terri also sent a beautiful bracelet and earring set. Terri, I can't tell you how much this set is totally me - I'll wear it often and think of you.

Now back to the real swap items (I told you she was a rule breaker,lol). Terri sent me an adorable Emile Henry casserole in red, perfect for serving dips or salsa or fruit ;) I'm sorry Terri, I know I was a pain to figure out for the cooking method category, but you did good!

Terri also sent a really awesome recipe box in a red leather type material, complete with some recipes (including Sol's chocolate chip cookies, Terri's own banana cream muffins and Grandma's applesauce cake!!!). I truly love it!

Terri also let me know that she has sent a Soul Food Cookbook via Amazon, that I should be receiving soon. She has the same book and said "This book is a great read, and the recipes can't get more soul in them". I can't wait!

Terri, you so clearly put your heart and 'soul' into this swap and I'm touched beyond words. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity and the wonderful package you put together (jeez, and I couldn't even post the monkey picture for you, lol).

Hugs,

Pauline

PS-I didn't mention the 'packing material' (yea, that's what it is) that Terri used. Three very beautiful dish towels that coordinate perfectly with my kitchen.

LOL~what who me?
I just walked in the door from getting my little ones from school and got your phone message..(You must have contacted Ann.) Than ran right to the computer.
I'm glad it all arrived safely. I was so worried about that Dish! (You do know you can bake in it too. A veggie gratin would look lovely in it.)

Did you open the box upside down? LOL

Yeah I filled one of the "allowed" items with stuff from me. I'll admit it..I cheated!

I'm so glad you liked everything.
That beaded set was the first beading I did. I bought a little kit...I loved the colors..but then realized I had nothing to wear with it..so tried to figure out who I could give it to...
You like greens..so I figured you might wear greens too...

Terri - What a very colorful package! The jewelry is awesome, especially since it was hand made by you!

I just love everything about this box! Great job.

Pauline, enjoy~

I like Robin's idea. Maybe we could have a special thread where everyone posts when they receive their gift. No one would need to respond to the posts specifically, everyone would just post a quick blurb saying "I received my swap from so-and-so." Then they could say if they would start a new thread later (for whatever reason) or immediately. That thread would also be cool to refer to just to see who's received thusfar. As for responding to the follow up threads, I was just thinking about that before I read this thread. I do respond to some, not all, probably about half. There ARE quite a few threads since we have so many traders so it can be difficult to answer all of them, but I do agree that I like to read follow ups to my gifts (both given and received) so by the same token, I know it's important to respond to others'.

My little girl wants a Malti-poo

My grandkids have the opposite situation---too many pets. Their mother is an animal savior---miniature horse colt in the laundry room, cats/dogs/birds---they currently have three dogs and two cats. The kids like coming to our house---we have two dogs---because they don't have to take care of the animals. 7 and 9 are old enough for the responsibility of a dog. They need to understand they will have a big responsibility as well as a new family member. And it sounds as if you will be the one in the family to make sure they handle their responsibilities. The cost factor is major. The condo situation is also a huge problem. If that were remedied, the decision would be much easier. I agree with the wait advice. I have a 16 year old grandson ready for his first car---he falls in love with every other one he sees. The girls fell in love with the furry bundle---all Malti-poos are furry bundles---there is always one to find, and when adopting one is done when all the forseeable problems are solved, the entire process will be worth it. Except maybe for the cat, but the cat will adapt.

Emagineer, it was my DH's mother who was born in this old stone cottage. My family came years before, settled in the Carolinas, intermarried with the Indians, and came into north Alabama. There was no memory of the immigrant experience for anyone alive when I was a child. But for my DH, he is a "first generation" Irish, and the troubles which led his parents to migrate were very real in his upbringing. I know the cottage and the farm on which it sits looks substantial, but it was a struggle surviving under British rule. One of DH's uncles came to America to escape the law because he was involved in the Easter Uprising. Some of the relatives were deported to New Zealand to the criminal colony there, the ones also involved in the Irish movement for independence and justice. He did not know about them, but when he was getting government security clearances, the government already knew and asked him about any connection to them. It makes me wonder what records our FBI and CIA keep about us ordinary citizens. But you are so right. When we were in Ireland, it was a very friendly reception and so lovely. I had a blast driving on those narrow roads on the wrong side of the car and of the road too.

How many inches will your heads be from the panel? There is little that is special about the panel, per se, in terms of EMF, other than the fact that a lot of wires go by. But you would get the same EMF from proximity to your main line which may be buried in the wall in places you would not expect. Panel or no panel, it is primarily the total amount of current flow you are close to that determines EMF. that being said... Given that electromagnetic fields decay by square of distance, the EMF at your bed would be negligible. A couple of orders of magnitude less than what you would get from an electric blanket. To get an idea of your danger sensitivity, are you worried about placing high frequency cell phones next to your head?

Oh...I like the recipe box and covered in leather too!! I also like the dish towels, such nice and bright colors! The recipe books sounds awesome and I love Soul Food. We always visit the Soul booths at Taste of Chicago and have never been disappointed!

The jewelry and creams are such a beautiful and thoughtful gift. Enjoy!

I was lucky enough to receive one of Terri's candles in a previous swap - they're awesome! I love the color-coordinated items, and that recipe box is wonderful.

What a great package! I especially love that Emile Henri dish. The cookbook looks very intriguing .... might be nice given all the fantastic cookbooks received in this swap to have people provide a recipe, as we did in the last swap?

Love your collection!

Hey Terri you taking commissions on the jewelry?

Nice haul, especially that EH piece! We want more pictures of that - filled with cooked yummies, of course.

Terri, what with all those cookies you've been baking lately, how in the world did you have time to make the jewelry?? That is a great package. Good on you, Pauline, that that girl doesn't follow the rules.

Very cool box and yet another talented member we have here on the forum. I have to agree with Diana, where do you find the time? All that baking and taking care of your "guys". Enjoy it all Pauline!!
