Kath, thanks for the reminder and for setting this up. My swap partner and I have decided to mail a little later. I have already been shopping and Im excited! Satine

Thanks, my partner and I are mailing out tuesday I believe.

Wanted to let everyone know that I received a wonderful package from Susie yesterday. Big box packed FULL of great gifts! Susie is so talented and made most of the items herself. She sent:
Jar of her own homemade Pineapple Zucchini (YUM!!)
Farmers Market Favorites Gooseberry Patch Cookbook
Spread a Little Joy Cookbook
Several of her own recipes typed up on pretty paper and sealed in plastic so they'll wipe clean. (Can't wait to try)
Box of pretty little pumpkins to decorate my table
2012 Gooseberry Patch Calendar with recipes!
Really nice aluminum plant label stakes
Pretty little jewelry pouch (Susie made it)
Cozy flannel rice bag (Susie made this and I can't wait to try.)
2 handmade wooden Snowmen tree ornaments that Susie made
A cute little red carry bag with kleenex holder she made
Snowman photo tree ornament to put my grandson's picture in and hang on the tree this year. So sweet!
Little Snowman tin box with crystal snowman ornament inside.
It was a Wonderful package and I just love everything she sent. I haven't mailed hers yet. It will go out either today or Saturday. Really appreciate her patience with me. The 12 hour swing shift I work with the 45 minute drive each way limits me on shopping time.
We've exchanged several emails and I feel blessed to have discovered a new friend in Susie.
Thank you so much for hosting this swap and thanks again Susie!

I am glad you liked what I sent. I loved putting it together for you. Enjoy..

Oh, glad you got your package already! I still haven't finished shopping. I went out of town over the weekend and then had to work the last couple days. Hoping to get mine out tomorrow or the next day.

How's everyone else doing?

Susie53 is really a special lady and very talented!

Mine is waiting for Fed Ex to pick up right now! I did not gift wrap each item......the wrap got pushed to the very back of the attic so sorry, Kathleen!

That's ok Lynn, I slept in today, after having to get up and take the girls to school since the school bus driver drove right by them this morning. They also never came yesterday, or came very early and they missed the bus yesterday. Thank goodness someone took them since I had to work yesterday.

I'm going shopping this afternoon and will try and mail it out to you tomorrow.

Thanks, Sue...

I sent mine out yesterday and so did my partner. I didn't wrap each item either, no room for the paper! LOL

I got my package today from Joan (ejmoore 510). She sent some really nice things..
They were -
A really nice Home Preserving Recipe Book, can't wait to
try something apple
B&B warm vanilla sugar hand soap
A Vanilla cream candle
A vanilla scent Scent portable
Olive Oil Body Polish
4 different teas
A really pretty journal book
Some pretty nail files
A kitchen towel with roosters on it. How did she know I
had roosters in my kitchen?
Two cute ceramic pumpkins
A cute ceramic bird
And some delicious candy..

Thank you so much Joan.. I loved it all.

Since everyone is posting their packages here, thought I would too. I came home to a mess of a house and Lynn's swap box!

A cat note pad...very cute
A pumpkin/Fall quilted wall hanging
Fall colored kitchen towels
Fall colored place mats
A cute giraffe WELCOME sign (I'm going to have to hide this from Lauren because she loves giraffes!)
And a book, "The Inspired Gardner"

Thanks for everything Lynn, loved it all! You should be getting your package tomorrow. That's what the p.o. told me anyway.

I'm glad that you liked it, Kathleen! I loved that wall hanging, found it at our Autumn Arts Fest, the gal that made it is a wonderful quilter!

I got my box from Kathleen today!!! It was packed with goodies! Beautiful pot holders (how did you know that mine look so horrible?), pumpkin salt and pepper shakers, a carved squash, a pumpkin stack pin, wonderful Kentucky Bourbon barbecue sauce, kitty treats and kitty balls! Of course the cats are just like kids....they are playing in the box with the paper! LOL!!!!

Thank you, Kathleen! I love it all!

I'm glad the bbq sauce made it there ok. Was a little worried even though I tried to pack it well and told them it was fragile. Glad you liked everything too.
