*Pack of 20 coasters
*Bottle of Trader Joe's cinnamon
*Wine stopper
*A reindeer bobble body wine topper (too cute!)
*Stamp that says "Just for You--No Regifting" So funny--and appropriate! I've had some recent regifting experience.

Thanks so much Maria. Love, love, love everything!

That was soooooo bad!



That just leaves Lynne to check in when she gets home and gets her mail.

 

[NEVERENOUGHWDW]

Here is the simplest of the recipes but it is fattening, easy & delicious!

Baby Eskimo

Recipe Ingredients

2 oz. Kahlua
2 Scoops Vanilla Ice Cream
8 oz. Milk
Leave ice-cream out for about 10 minutes. Add ingredients in order, stir with chopstick (butter knife or spoon works too). Consume immediately and often. Nice and light, great for following a heavy drink.

I received my package from Lynne (PennSt8r) today.


Thank you so much Lynne, you made my day. I love everything and will use everything soon. This weekend it is going to rain, so I will make some cookies with the cookie cutters. Did you get much snow this weekend? We only got about an inch, but that was too much for me in October. It actually snowed for 24 hours straight, but at first it didn't stick.

We didn't get any snow...we were at Disney! It was really cold here in PA, but the snow missed us...this time! We haven't had much the past few years...we're due for a doozy.

I had a wonderful package from Patsy waiting for me when we got back tonight!

Recipes for :
Toffee candy
Beer Bread
Cold Ginger chicken
Pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting
Baked apples
Ham roll ups

I also got a package of Pot Roast Soup Mix, Hawaiian Spicy Chicken seasoning mix and measuring spoons. (which I needed!)

Thanks Patsy for a great exchange!! I think I'll be trying at least one of these tomorrow.

Disney was wonderful, and the treehouses were awesome. DS9 taken to urgent care on day 2... positive for H1N1. (Caught it VERY early and fever broke that night so he didn't miss out on too much.)

And I had 2 sad messages waiting for me. A great uncle died on Wednesday, and I'm going to miss the funeral. And my nephew's son was diagnosed with leukemia. They think it's the treatable kind, but are still running tests. He's only 3. :sad1

So sorry about the news about your nephew.
My friends were in WDW the same time you were & ended up in the "Urgent Care" with Swine Flu...Glad they treated your son so quickly.

I would love to see tree house photos

Welcome back, Lynne. I would like to see the treehouse photos too.

Sorry about all the sad news and sicknesses.

And with that this exchange is completed! Thank you all for a smooth exchange.
