Sent my box out this morning to Moonshines! (Now, I can sleep tonight). I've been nervous about finishing it; but, it was fun.

Star! I love the way you used decorative paper for packing - how pretty!
Girls - Barbara is out of town for another week, I think, celebrating and spending time with her new grandbaby. I hope you don't mind, but I just wanted to show you the box I made for her. She's received it already, so I'm not spoiling any surprises! :)

| Hi Beth, I'm not one to fuss, but I haven't seen that you rec'd my box - I sent it USPS on the 19th - so it should've been to you by now. I haven't rec'd yours either - you sent on the 25th. Ugh! |

Thank you, Ginny! I was so happy - she did really like it. I think the greatest thing about these swaps, though is not so much the "gifts" themselves, but the great gifts of new friends we make! Barbara's just such a wonderful lady - delightful! She was the inspiration - and I'm just so glad to know her! :) - Nini

I thought your box was gorgeous. I like that the swaps get me to venture and try new creative craft's. I am always so excited to see how the recepient liked what I sent. I have to admit though I get really Happy when I see something special in the mail for me.... I hope that Michelle got the box that I sent to her she should be getting it any day if she has not gotten it yet.

Hi Delicia~
Heading to the PO this morning. Terrible winds, and bitter cold have kept me close to home this week, -32 here this morning. Looking so forward to your package, and will try and post pictures right away. Have fretted over your package long enough, and now must get it in the mail! Do hope you enjoy~

Michelle, stay safe and I so hope you like your pkg... Do not frett I would rather you stay in than worrying about sending to me. I sure hope your pkg is there because I hate for you to have to venture back out. We are having a lot of wind but, only flurries and really cold, it rained all day yesterday but, at least it was not the expected ice storm...

Isn't Ninibini the BEST! I love my Valentine Box!! The pictures she posted just doesn't do it justice! It's beautiful and was filled with the sweetest surprise of candy, cupcake papers, sprinkles, icing, etc. She also included a recipe for an Italian Love Cake that I can't wait to try!
Thanks again Nini! You're too special!

I received my package from Linda yesterday and it is absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately, I do not have a digital camera so I can't add a picture.

Delicia~
Thank you so much for the wonderful package that arrived yesterday! You did a wonderful job decorating the box, and I love that it is a photo storage box! I love the vintage decorations, and all the other treasures you included were just perfect! I had been in need of a small heart punch too, how did you know? Didn't include the recyclable bag in the picture, but it is just my style, and will be well used.
Thank you, Delicia, for all the love you put into this~ It really is perfect!

Today I received my Valentine box from Moonshine. A cigar box so prettily decorated, and filled with cool treats. Thank you, Valentine partner! :) I took pics, and will post as soon as I figure out how to do that.

Here is the Valentine Box I received from moonshines: Homemade card is a keeper-very sweet; embroidered white handkerchief; tiny old tin. A really cute embroidered dish towel. That will be for decorating..not use. The box was customized with my initials..I feel so special. DGD helped me put the pics on here..so I don't need a new program after all! Yippee skippee!
