| No stocking at the Post Office today. Maybe tomorrow. I plan to put some of my stuffed animals in it when it arrives and hang it on the front door. So far I have done no decorating at all. With no snow I can't get feeling very Christmasy. In Alaska I wanted to decorate whenever the first snow fell. How do you do it if you live in Florida??? |
|
| hello I'm glade to see some stockings have found there way home already, they got there fast becouse they were only a few hundred miles away. I know what you mean beth, about the snow getting you in the christmas mood. I grew up in souther calif. and lived there till I was 27. thats when I moved to the mid west, and had my 1st white christmas. the 15" of white stuff last week was the most snow I have ever seen, and thanks to the cold temps most of it is still here. llbean since you have the postage in the mail I sent you stocking today, I'll post the DC# tomarrow, it is in the other room and I don't want to wake up the boys. michelle |
|
| hello llbean I got you postage, thanks for the beautiful card. let me know when you get your stocking michelle |
|
| Yea, I received my stocking today. It was just like Christmas morning. My stocking is red and green with bells on it. Inside was the following: lots of seeds, pumpkin, corn, grasses and some flowers 2 different sizes of zip lock bags for seeds a magnetic memo pad (I love these) cute Christmas earrings with bells and bows 2 bars of specialty soap key chain with a calculator on it a stuffed gingerbread man tree ornament bubble bath shower gel a Christmas key chain metal labels (can't ever have enough of these) colorful mini pens sample packet of "Gardner's Hand Healer" from Bath and Body candy a Christmas cup a cinnamon stick Last but not least there were some bells in the stocking and box. It's fun to open a box that jingles.. Thanks Michelle you did a great job organizing this swap. Do I owe you any more money for postage???  Mariann |
|
| hello don't worry mariann or anyone else about the postage it's my problem, I just had to stuff as much as possible in the stockings. michelle |

| I got my stocking today! What fun! It was full of goodies and some very cool seeds and bulbs/tubers. I especially like the cherry andes chocolate :) I wanted to try those but didn't want to buy a bag. (read EAT a bag, since it would be just me eating them!) There were lots of GREAT things too many to list, so thanks everyone! Thanks Michelle for being so thoughtful, I can see that you checked our lists and gave some thought as to what to send to whom. |
