Deb, Deb, Deb.........My package arrived! I just love everything. I can't wait to use the light up pumpkin. It will soon be in my window! Deb also sent me a pumpkin lantern candle holder, an orange votive, witchy potholders, a mummy towel. To top it all off was a baby spider plant.
I hope I didn't forget anything. If I did it doesn't mean that a love it any less. Was a wonderful bright spot in a week that has been heck. I picked up a couple more things for my package today at lunch. I have a problem deciding when to stop. I want to get something sweet to add and I should be sending next week.
Deb I also want to thank you for hosting this swap. I've hosted them before and it is alot of work.

Happy Gardening,
Joy

Got home yesterday evening after a BOOtiful day and guess what lurked outside the door. My superb package of Ghoulish Goodies from Lil Green Thumb. Thanks bunches for all the halloween items. We're planning to host a monster bash meal for Halloween instead of the normal party we put on so lots of decorating going on. The pumpkin package contained so many goodies it's like a never ending box. Yeah and she packed it for me!! I got some gorgeous plants one ornamental pepper plant (just bursting with small orange peppers all over it) and a mum plant(crimson red color blooms,GORGEOUS!!)I will use both to add a splash of halloween colors to our table of treats. They'll go great with the black roses centerpiece I'm using. Theres a towel and potholder for baking needs and cleanup duties in the kitchen the meal. Tea lights (orange and black) with clear holders, stuffed bat with treats attached, Yummy. A pumpkin dish that will hold appetizers just so. Tulip bulbs to enjoy coming up in the spring (3)daydream (2)happy generation great colors in orange/red combos?. To perfect yard stuffables one huge spider and a large pumpkin Scary, a glow in the dark skeleton, halloween ink pen (I like will come in handy for journaling), Octobers All You Mag bursting with great ideas, A orange bowl with lid with m&ms nestled inside (even they are brown and orange). Lastly and just as important and appreciated was a bag of green froggies (I can never have to many of those you know). I thank you lil green thumb for all the thoughtful things you packed in my box. I hope I didn't leave anything out, as I LOVED IT ALL!!!
Thanks bunches and more bunches and more bunches. Well I'm off the the pumpkin patch. Hope you all are having a terrific week like I am. Later ladies.
Peace in the pumpkin patch momentarily,
Char

Thanks Snyder for my terrific box of HAlloween goodies.There is a DVD with a double feature of "Monster Movies" that I plan to share with my grandsons. Lots of candy for all of us. A real cute door hangar with pumpkins and bats perfect for my kitchen door.
A shadowbox frame in lavendar with dahlia inside that will go well in my new bedroom and a soapholder that looks like an old timey claw foot bathtub.
Halloween spider socks. I love crazy socks so these suit me fine.
A fancy gold doodad... maybe a lipstick holder. I'm going to use it to hold tiny purple lavendar flowers on the dresser.
Halloween cookie cutters that I think the boys will enjoy too, a halloween charm bracelet,a scarecrow sign advertising "free weeds"... now how did she know I had weeds??? LOL especially enough to spare and share?
There is a great puffy patchwork pumpkin just as cute as can be and two bags of tulips. Those will be a delight in the spring if I can keep them from the squirrels.
Many thanks Snyder This was a fun box and things that I will use and enjoy for a long time.
The magazines were perfect too and I'm drooling over the Plant Delights catalog. Think I might go down there for one of the special programs next month. I have visited nurseries north of me and think it might be time to see what is farther south.
Thanks again, BB

~Kimberly

Good Lord, a girl leaves for the weekend and everybody stops talkin'! lol Hope ya'll had a good one, I sure did! Hate its over though...

Deb, yes...I sent Carol a depend covered in halloween stickers, lol....funny story! I went to 3 grocery stores, believe it or not, before I could find any, then they only had a huge package of them, I paid almost $15 for that darn pack of things! lol I shipped Carol's package off and Julie walks in and says 'you didn't send the lady her depends after we went everywhere to find them?' I told her, no I didn't send her the whole pack, it was a gag gift, not my intention to make the woman hate me! lol
I would have been better off sticking those stickers to a diaper, those darn things didn't want to stick to that depend, so hopefully they made it in tack....

Is this swap already over? has everyone received? Deb, congrats on another great swap, looks like we may have completed it before the deadline to ship? lol

Later girls!
Sassy

My box went out this morning. Our van was in the shop getting fixed and I didn't have a chance to get the last few things I wanted to get. It is on it's way now. The conf. # is:03052710000077471488. Hope you like everything I sent Msprettyky. I think maybe I am the last to get my box out. Sorry about the wait. ~Heather

I think the deadline is the 7th if I'm not mistaken so you did great.I think there are a few more who haven't sent theirs yet Heather.: ) Nancy

Number-1-angelyour box just went out. It was ready last week but then I went to a craft show and got one more thing to add to it. I hope you like everything in it. The conf. # is 03061070000048607664. I sent it priority so it should get there in 2 days.

Msprettyky-your package was great! My daughter took the candy and socks right away. We set all the scary candle holders around and lit the pumkin candle. All the towels were wonderful. I didn't have any halloween hand towels. I was just going to go out and buy a new kitchen set because my bad doggie ate the thumb and corners off my other set. Thanks to you I have a brand new set! Thanks for all the seeds. I'm going to winter sow them in a couple of months. I hope I didn't forget anything. It was so much fun to open and dig through the stuff! This was such a great idea.

I mailed Nancy/cedarnest's package today.
