Posted - Dec 06 2013 : 4:28:47 PM Darlene, I got my box yesterday and boy it is amazing. I just love everything. The ornament I will always remember you every Christmas. The painted rocks are on display as with my friends plaque that is already hanging. The teas which I love and the Christmas music. The little snowman candle snuffer is adorable. Thanks for the scarf and napkins too. This has been a wonderful swap and it has been great to know you. You and your family have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Hugs and sisterly love, Laurie

Posted - Nov 29 2013 : 5:47:43 PM Judy I did receive my fourth Christmas box today and you sent such wonderful items. I LOVE the mirror with the angel. The cupcake decoration kit is sure to be used soon. I love the snowman hand towel. The soap I am anxious to use, I love lemon verbena. Pretty ribbon and daily planner. I am hanging the ornaments on my tree tonight, along with the candy canes. Thank you for the Christmas cards and the cookie cutters. The holiday pretzels are DH and kids favorites. Thank you for being a wonderful swap partner and becoming such a great friend.

Posted - Nov 26 2013 : 12:48:46 PM Laurie, I received you package and love it all. Book, cocoa, slippers, dish towels and everything else! I will send yours out tomorrow. It was going out today but it's been snowing so I didn't go to the PO. It has been ready to go but I have been busy gathering turkeys and then making up food baskets with my church family, for those in need. Our church has a wonderful outreach. The need is so great. We are so fortunate to be blessed as we are. I have been on a Women of Purpose conference and was truly blessed. Over 2000 women!
Happy Thanksgiving to all you wonderful sisters. You are all in my heart!

Posted - Nov 24 2013 : 08:22:04 AM Thank You Kelly for the wonderful 4th box. Feels like Santa arrived. The yummy smelling candle is not in the picture, it is in our family room making everything smell good. I love the ornaments you made and the cute candle holder. The vintage angel is so perfect and the socks and hot chocolate will be enjoyed this winter. What a wonderful partner you have been for this swap.
Hugs Julie

Posted - Nov 12 2013 : 1:53:27 PM Judy I received my third box and I LOVE it. The smell is devine. I love the soap, it smells so strong and yummy! Thank you for the wash cloth to go with it. The two candles are lovely and are sure to be used soon. I love the ribbon and darling angel shelf sitter. The kitchen towel is almost to cute to use, I might just decorate with it. Recipe cards are so useful and the tea is all going to be used this week. Thank you for such a thoughtful gift.

Posted - Nov 11 2013 : 7:09:26 PM I'm not good with posting pictures, so you will just have to take my word...I just got the most thoughtful box from my swap parter Shannon. Inside the box was a collection of ornaments, and not just any ornaments but ornaments that match each of my three trees. I am speechless. Shannon, you've really touched me with your thoughtfulness and I really appreciate the box of Christmas joy that you put together for me. Many, many thanks!!
Warmly, Pam
