flattie, That sounds a little sarcastic, LOL. There is a wide range of emotions about Mr. Obama's election. But no matter where we are personally on that subject, we should all be praying for his success in digging us out of the huge hole we are in. Hoping we can all sit under our fig trees without fear.

I just received the best box from Sue. She sent 2 stuffed bunnies and 2 chocolate bunnies for my 2 boys. They love them. Oh and some egg chalk. For me I got 2 dish towels with veggies on them, a ceramic Easter bunny, Lemon Verbena soap, picture frame, 2 paper embosser and a paper punch, blackberry preserves, 2 white spider lily and cream iris and a bunch of seeds. Now for the best part and 2 wooden giraffe statues. These are beautiful and will be a great addition to my collection. Also my eggs are not the normal ones. They are see through and the shell produces a crystal effect when the light shines through them. Once again thank you Sue. I hope I didn't forget anything. Well this concludes this swap. Thanks to everyone!! Heidi
