Posted - Dec 14 2014 : 07:33:55 AM Shannon, so glad it reached you! I have had so many problems with the postal service ugh! I'm so glad you like everything...how's it feel to be my guinea pig? lol. I totally love the box you sent and all that is in it. I think my very favorite is the clothespin nativity, how sweet! the nativity ornament and cupcake snowman one are so cute as well. I used the scarf last night when hubby and I went walking in Frankenmuth (a cute cute cute town about 45 min from us) and had a delicious Peppermint Tea when we got home :). Thank you so much and MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Posted - Dec 13 2014 : 11:34:27 AM Marti- I received your beautiful box full of goodies today :) As soon as I get my camera and computer to cooperate with one another, I will post a picture! The washcloths, tissue box, and potholders are beautifully made! My kiddos have already stolen a few of the candy canes! The picture frame will look great filled with a picture of the family at Christmas! The lavender angel smells delicious, the bells are so cute and I love the angel ornament. I must admit though, my favorite is the sweet Nativity ornament set! How delightful!!! Thank you so very very much! You are one talented lady!!!

Posted - Dec 07 2014 : 08:12:12 AM Ho, Ho, Ho Kelly! Santa delivered my beautiful box late afternoon yesterday too! I had such fun digging in and seeing all of the many fun things. We both had a snow theme on our brains too! Great minds run the same track.
Check out all these wonderful goodies: Snow theme kitchen towel, gingerbread measuring spoons, snow tree spatula, cute snow stationary, plaid ribbon, a yummy smelling candle and a tin of Christmas tea from the Republic of Tea. It was all placed in this beautiful box with a lovely note too. Thank-you Kelly for such a fun and lovely swap. I am going to enjoy using all of these things this holiday season!!

Posted - Dec 07 2014 : 07:37:36 AM Winnie Santa came! I love my decorated Christmas box. The bow on the box was SO pretty. Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of it before I unwrapped it. I love the snow theme. So today I will have a cup of the Christmas coffee you sent. Make butter cookies, using the recipe you sent and pressing with the snowflake press you sent. I love the towel, adorn with the cutest snowman. I love wooden utensils, so the one you sent will get much use. The napkins are so nice and will be used at a gathering we are having soon. The longberger snowflake ornament is gorgeous and already on my Christmas tree! And the sweet postcard is hanging in my kitchen. Thank you for being such a wonderful swap partner. The box is so very special.
