WANTED: Swap Box is on it's way!!

12 years ago

The stars and moon came together rather quicker than I thought! Assembled what I think is a pleasing box and put it in the mail, but now just need to wait to see if my swap partner agrees. Oh, mercy!! Pace .... pace .... pace .... Understand, it's my first swap.

It is always exciting when the first swap box arrives. Can't wait to see what you sent your partner. Well done getting it mailed so quickly.

Really!!! I'm still reading my partner's old posts looking for clues. I'm getting ideas though! Congrats on being the first.

What a great package--the baby clothes were just the packing material! The rose plate is so cute--a fun surprise picture revealed as you serve your quiche. I also have the red salt, and as Annie says, it goes with some stuff and not others--trial and error to find out. Just taste a bit and you'll figure it out. Had it on baked potatoes last night--definitely needed regular salt for that! Let us know about the desserts you bake! I love baking, and if the sugar free part doesn't taste like artificial sweetner (which doesn't agree with me), I could do more guilt free baking!

Maggie I'LL tell you about me and frogs. During a swap, our little Miss Cheater Pants, aka JESSY, got my name. I was a little new to the group so Jessy researched my name here on the forum and she found some old posts over on the Reptile/Amphibian Forum, I had posted asking for help in getting rid of all the frogs that were all over our porch. They were pooping everywhere and peeing everywhere and it was just horrible!!!! So Jessy took off with this frog idea and she sent me the funniest swap package; it had frog shaped pasta, an apron with frogs on it, rubber frogs that were threaded on shish kabobs, Gosh I can't even remember all of it. But I laughed so hard I had to go change. So that's where the frogs came from.

Chase, I ALWAYS forget to include the note. ALWAYS. I don't know what would happen if someone actually got the letter that goes with my swap boxes. LOL No box here, even though I was gone all day. That's usually a sure way to get a box delivered, go somewhere. Mine is still here, I picked up another item today, one to go, if I can find it. If not, I'm going to have to go with a second choice. Sigh. Monday. I'm shooting for a Monday shipping date. Annie

Ramekins are always so useful, I use the ones Dishesdone bought me for everything from melting a couple of pats of butter to snacks for the kids. I even make MLCs in them, which is why she got them for me in the first place, LOL. Linda, I'm sure you'll use yours a lot. That size microplane is so useful, I know you'll love that, but I've never seen a vase grinder, so that'll be interesting to see how it works on your herbs. A very nice swap box indeed... Annie

I'm still getting ideas too.

But I do know that Beachlily isn't the first one to mail. I heard back from another "swapper" last week that her box was in the mail. Although it might not be the first to arrive.

Yes, I am in total agreement!!!!! It is a VERY pleasing box indeed and I thank you enormously.

Thanks again beachlily, every item was perfect.

Okay, I'm still waiting for that other swap box to be delivered. It must either be coming from or going to Lisa in Germany, I think. Otherwise I think it would have been delivered by now! Anyway, that is my current guess. Is Colleen playing? If so, then it could be to or from her. I received a package in one swap that was sent via a slow boat from Japan, and it was more than well worth the wait!
