boxes...

HI girls!  So Ive been receiving packages again!  so much to show you!....  I truly believe if someone takes the time to send something we should share it on our blogs.. but to be very honest... sometimes I forget!  then I feel really bad! 
 I want to soon post pics from the witches hat swap.. but out of 30 girls who participated, I only have pics from about 16 of them.   So I will wait a little longer before posting those .
However.. I can share with you the latest things that have arrived here!

As you already know I had 3 partners in the witches hat swap.  the four pics above are from Hope from pixies ponderings.  Hope lives in the UK.  I didnt post a picture, but she also sent me all sorts of british treats!  thank you so much Hope!  YOu truly spoiled me.  she even made me a halloween book and there is an awesome garland that I hung immediately on my fireplace.  Enlarge these pics and be sure to check everything out!  I feel bad that I cant show you better pics.. but take my word for it..she is awesome and so is everything she sent!

Another package that I recieved when I returned home sunday was this one above from Barbara Burkard.  Barb was one of my first blog friends and she was my very first swap partner.  She is a doll and look, she even sent halloween shirts for Torry and marlaina pies!  Along with a basket full of halloween cheer.. cant wait to make those pumpkin muffins and have already been eating the carmel apple candies!  thank you barb!

Musings from Kim K. said...

Your postal carrier must LOVE your house (Smile). So many lovely Halloween treasures. I'm seriously taking my time to look over every single picture for future crafting inspiration. You really do surround yourself with lots of talented friends.

Happy Halloween dear friend!

Debby said...

Should I send you pictures from what I got. I have never heard that Lynn got my box but she should have a couple weeks ago. Can I send to your email....can you send me that address. Here is my email grammypetals@yahoo.com
I never got your messages about the swap so you may not have this address.
Thanks. You must feel like it is Christmas with all those goodies.

Wow, You sure are spoiled. =] Such silly cats,at least it doesn't take anything fancy to make them happy. Mr L has to hide his gym bag or it would have cat hair all over and in it.

I'm new to you...I thought anyone brave enough to sport that lovely shade of pink hair is worth looking into! Love all those crepe paper lovelies! I'm finishing up a Fall Altoid tin swap...I'll definitely have to join in on some of your future swaps!

Wow, mail is fun at your house, Vivian! You got some great gifts and I would have been admiring all these things for hours after opening.

I'm pretty sure I sent you pics of my witch's hat; let me know if you need one and I have a pic of the one Debby made me on my blog, too, if you need it.
