witches hats!

woohoo!! Renee Rocks!
so I have to tell you that I ended up with 3 partners for the witches hat swap.  not because I'm a partner hog, but because thats how it worked out.  and believe me, I'm not complaining!   I knew I would have 2 partners because I kept Hope (pixies ponderings) as she is swapping from england and I love to swap internationally.  Then I was left with an odd number,  so when I matched everyone up, I picked another partner for myself. And, lucky me, I ended up with Shirley Hatfield (zettas aprons!  So, after I had sent out all the emails, a day or so later I realized that the first person to join in had been at the bottom in my email file and as the list filled up, her name dropped onto the next page. And, of course I totally overlooked that there was a second page.  That person happened to be Renee (vintage mending).  So (oh darn) I kept her!  So that my friends is how I ended up with 3 partners.  And believe me when I say.. I'm not complaining one bit!  Ive enjoyed making my hats and all my little treats and getting everything together to send out to the girls, which I will mail this week.

Just look at all these great halloween treats that Renee sent me and that freaken awesome Hat!!
The Hat is part of a box and the box was filled with all these treats!  what  a great idea.    no surprise that Renee would come up with an awesome idea like that.

I love everything Renee!  I feel like in in halloween heaven!  And shame on me.. I recieved Renees package a couple days ago and totally didnt email her to let her know.  being on call and sick had totally consumed me I guess.  (sorry Renee... Im such a forgetfut thing!)  but I am totally thankful for this awesome package!
thank you, thank you thank you!!

This weekend I found places for my most awesome witches hats on a shelf in the living room.  but I'm thinking I need to buy a hall tree with the hat holders at the top.  And I hung all the sweet ornies from both girls on my halloween trees. ( I have 4!!)
I sort of feel like a halloween snob.
Again, thank you soooo much Shirley!  I love everything!
I cant wait for the girls to get my packages!!
and one more thing........  Meet my new Friend!! 
new friend 
he needs a name... Any ideas??
 give away coming up soon girlies!
 have a happy day!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

WOW!!!! What AWESOME swap packages! I know your partners will love YOUR goodies, too! And a hat tree! SMART, CUTE IDEA! You can justify buying it by using it for Pilgrim hats, Christmas hats, bunny hats, Spring bonnets, Uncle Sam hats etc.! Your new skelly's name? Hmmm ... How about Le An Cuisine? BWAHAHAHAHA! (Ooops. Sorry. LOL!)
