Hi girls, hope everyone had a wonderful & safe Labor Day weekend, I sure did. What a great way to end such a good weekend as to come home to a po box full of great hostess gifts.

I decided to go ahead and start a new post so we can all catch up on the sent/received's. And I want to post my thank you's on this new thread to make sure everyone sees it.

Okay here goes....

Kim/lilgreenthumb sent me 2 cookbooks, Classic Baking with Hershey's and Souper Receipes with Campbells, thanks Kim I've always wanted to pick these up and never did. Also a nice package of note pads w/pen & magnet for the fridge with beautiful orange flowers and and cute little lemon scented candle. Thanks so much Kim, I love it all and appreciate it very much:)

Sherri/boballi sent me a cookbook Eating Well with California Ripe Olives, an October issue of Taste Of Home, looks wonderful, can't wait to go through it! And also omg, Natural Indulgence receipe book with receipes featuring Callebaut Chocolate and California Raisins. Thank you so much Sherri, lots of awesome looking receipes girl! I love everything!:) Thanks also for the sweet note.

Klick sent a thoughtful card, thanks sweetie. 2 nice receipe booklets, Scottish Teatime Receipes and Favourite Cake Recipes and also a package mix of Handmade Cookies from a Vermont Receipe, Raspberry Shortbread Dreams, sounds yummy girl. Thanks so much for everything Klick, a girl can never ever have too many receipes! Hope you're feeling okay hun.

And last but certainly not least I received from Deb/debbya. Wow girl! Deb sent a wonderful smelling candle, 'Old Williamsburgh' Country Dreams Honeydew Melon, a pack of notepads 'To do Today', an issue of Ladies Home Journal with Ina Garten, Emeril & Giada De Laurentiis on the cover (love all of them), a cookbook....Cooking Secrets of the Culinary Institute of America(woohoo I've already had to peak at this one, gonna love it girl!), a huge hardback cookbook, Lee Bailey's Country Desserts. This one looks awesome too! Wow, Deb, I just love, love, love everything!

Its a good thing I must finish up this swap or you girls may not hear from me for the next month at least! (JK) gives me lots of reading material for my next trip to the house. Thanks all of you so much!

Ok lets see if I can catch us up to date on where we stand......

I think this is where we stand, any boo boo's let me know.

Annie congrat's on your niece dear! Babies are just the best! Can't love em' enough!

Sandy no problem hun, we knew why you were posting.

I received an email from rennep saying she was mailing my box I sent her back to me no later than last Thursday, which of course I have not seen. I told her that was the least she could do if she was not going to participate, so instead of a make up box I would just ask that any that feel inclined post on the ratings forum. I would be perfectly content to receive my box back and keep her from having that happen. But if I don't receive it by the end of this week I'm finished with it.

Hoping Ananda shows up pretty quick too! SueG please let us know something as soon as you can, or better yet, Ananda let us know something.

Have a good night girls will check in a little later and make sure I didn't miss anyone.

    Thank you, Sue. I am sorry you have to do that. It should not be your burden. I kind of wish I had not even signed up for this swap with all the problems it caused with people having to check on what happened and now you having to send to me.
    Again, not your fault!

    Nancy thats so sweet of you, I've had alot of fun hosting this swap, hate how some things turned out but thats the breaks. I'll be watching out for it and thanks so much. I have a box at the po now but I couldn't get there before they closed, I have the baby again tommorrow so, I'm going to try to get Julie to go for me after she drops off the baby. Or else she'll be going with:) I don't mind taking her out if its not so hot.

    Sue thats very kind of you to send a box to Jeanne, she does deserve to get one. You're a sweetie!

    Jeanne, I'm so very sorry this happened hun. Its just sad, makes you not want swap at all.

    I just received a wonderful box from Beth. Beth, thank you, thank you, thank you. I love everything!!!!

    Beth sent me two great cookbooks - The Crab Cookbook and The Chesapeake Collection Cookbook and she even wrote a note in the front and little notes throughout on some of her favorite recipes!! That makes the cookbook so very special!! I've all ready seen several recipes that I can't wait to try!

    She also sent the cutest mug with a picture of a crab on the front that says, "Blue Crab Chesapeake Bay" and on the back is a recipe for steamed crabs....also, Old Bay Seasoning and "The Weary Gardener's Herbal Hand Soap" and a little hammer for cracking crabs.

    Also, plants:

    Shasta Daisy - Alaska
    Daylily - Super Purple
    Ornamental Pepper - Jigsaw
    Two different Ornamental Sweet Potatoes
    Rudbeckia - Cherokee Sunset (she sent a picture of this one and I love it!!)

    Beth, thank you so very much for such a wonderful box and the care you put into choosing everything!!! I can't wait to get everything planted and try some of the recipes!!

    Sassy you have done a wonderful job with this swap and hostessing! I have had soo much fun.

    Mmmmmmm I'm eating cookies!!!
    My wonderful box from Klick arrived yesterday. Just full of goodies.
    Hand made cookies called "Cranberry Dreams" and they are "Oh so good"
    Jules, the Flower Garden Photo album is beautiful!! I have never seen anything like that. I'm going to try it with close ups of some day lilies but I'm betting it would be delightful with baby pictures in it too. What a special treat.
    I'm all set for a tea party too. I got the Celestial seasons herbal tea sampler. Sleepy time and wild berry zinger are old friends and I'm going to try the others soon. There is a tea bag rest and an ornamental clip to attach to your tea bag too. There are pretty needle point coaasters and daisy shaped pewter weights for the corners of a tablecloth. I look foreward to having a tea party. I'll serve the "Oatmeal Plus" cookies. This is a jar of mix witha a pink calico cover and a nice wooden spoon. Loooks like maybe it will make cookies similar to the cranberry chocolate ones I'm eating now. MMMMmm Yum!
    There is a little ornamental bird house shaped like a Dutch Barn.
    Then, there is my cook book. How perfect for me being the vagabond that I am....."Cooking USA", 50 favorite recipes from across America. The authors selected one favorite traditional recipe for each state and decorated the pages with old fashioned picture postcards. What fun.
    Jules did you know that my plans included seeing the rest of the 50 states in the next year or two? LOL,I have only about 6 to go but I'll be passing through many other states for a better look. Much of the fun is trying regional foods and getting a "local" cookbook.
    What a delightful box! Even the backing material reminded me of food. (Little cardboard wedges that looked like swiss cheese)
    Thanks again and thanks Sassy for hostessing this fun swap.

    Beth... I'm so happy you enjoyed your box. :) I wasn't happy with the first one, and went out hunting for some good deals. The cookbook jumped off the shelf when I saw it! You mentioned in the first thread how you collected cookbooks from all the states... what better than a cookbook with something from all the places you've been? I worry so much about the boxes I send. Hopefully, you'll have good use for everything in yours.

    Sandy... what a great box you got! I really like the theme that came with it. What a wonderful selection!

    Pixie... agreed... reading about all the wonderful boxes has me drooling every few days or so over the contents.

    I'm off to finish more homework. *sigh*

    Jules, No need to worry about that box. It was great! I thought your choices were so "just right for me".
    I know about the study time too as I went to college for about 20 years. That is no joke. It took me 13 years to get my first degree. Started when my youngest was in Kindergarten and graduated the same year she did. Then I just kept going and going like that big pink bunny. LOL Hang in there.

    Hi All,
    I just finished slicing and skewering my meat-on-a-stick for tomorrow, thank goodness. I made at least 40 Teriyaki Beef, 40 Souvlaki Chicken, and 30 Cuban Pork. I have 8 lbs. of hotdogs too. Now Gary wants hamburgers!! I told him they get what they get, lol.
    I stopped by to see if my box came. I'm happy to see it did : )
    Sassy,
    The Texas Chili sauce is mild. It tastes just like the chili in Cincinnati, Skyline. I've been holding onto that Sassy votive since I'm not sure when, not long after you joined, lol. Also, the peach rose's full name is Leontine Gervais. Make sure you plant it where it will have the room to be a big wall of roses in June. Belle de Crecy likes to roam so plant her where you don't mind that.

    Ok, time to go get the Chinese. I am not cooking, lol!!

    Hello ladies, It is a glorious day here today! Sunshine, light breeze, and temps in the upper 70's.

    I wanted to add that a couple of days ago in a separate package that Kim sent me some cookbooks. They were-Diabetic Meals in 30 Minutes or Less, Practical Italian, Crisco Delicious Desserts for All Occasions, and Lipton Soup Mix Magic. Thanks, Kim!

    You were not sure what plants I sent you. Well, they were some coral bells, columbine, and Becky daisy.

    Am out to get some hostas and coral bells in the ground. Have a super week-end, everyone. Mary Ellen

    Good morning to all :)
    Hope everyone is having a good weekend!...Just a little up date on me...My health issues have not been resolved yet. All the blood work has come back negative for anything, no Lyme diesease, no lupus, no fibro myalgia, no
    Polymyalgia rheumatica, no what-ever-else the doctor tested for...He thinks it may be a virus, i think he may be wrong...Am going to call him this week to see what else (tests) can be done. There has to be an explanation for this pain.
    ~~Good news, i lost my job on August 17th (no, thats not the good news lol) i found a new job, and started last week!..It is only part time, but better than nothing. It is in a cafeteria, which is much different than a restaurant!!...but so far so good!..More (maybe) good news, DH has a job interview on Monday!!...It is 10 months now he has been out of work!...So perhaps you all can cross your fingers for us that he gets this job!!
    ~~Apology , I sent my OBF info sheet out (finally) this morning, and i think i sent it out more than once, so i apologize if you all got it more than one time!
    ~~Sue G. I checked the UPS website this morning, and it says your package is finally in Phoenix!!..I am so worried over this box, taking so long to get to you. PLMK when it arrives. I do realize you are quite a bit away from me, but i didnt think it would take this long to get to you!!
    ~~ Well i guess thats it for now. Just wanted to check in and say "hello"
    Hope all is going well for everyone!!
    Blue skies and Soft Winds

    P.S. did i miss the September Swap sign up?? I cant seem to find it on the forum??

    Sue G, my box arrived today and thank you so much!!! I would have to write a list to remember more of what was in there, but there were multiple cookbooks, a mint plant, gardening gloves, some really cute salad serving utensils, and much more. You were so sweet to send all that you did. (I especially think that because this was not your swap to send!)
    Carol, I have looked through all of Ananda's postings to see if there might be any reason she has not sent. One of the last postings did say that her "baby" had gotten potty trained so maybe that is what you are thinking of. No mention of upcoming vacations or anything like that as far as what I found.
    Anyway, thank you, Sue G. for stepping in and showing what a caring group this is!

God I thought this was going to be the easiest swap ever, wow, was I wrong. Chin up girl! We'll get through it! Hope you're feeling ok!

    I received a wonderful cookbook from Melinda today and girl I love it! I haven't seen that one.

    Melinda sent me a great hardback cookbook 'Walmart Family Cookbook' its really neat Melinda! I love how all the Walmart employees have given their receipes and have a pic of them and why they like the receipe. I love it! Thank you so much! I hope we can close this soon, so sorry girls.
