Repo cruise gift exchange sent/received

[kpgclark]

Arlene check the rates and delivery times. It is up to you how you want to send it. I know that sometimes international mail takes a long time to be delivered so I'd check to see that it won't be weeks. Otherwise it is up to you.

We got our gift box today !!!! A great big thank you to Patty (LadyPoo) who did a fantastic job ! We were very excited to receive the box and the smiles on our faces with each item was priceless.

This is what we received:
Mickey Mitts ! (we'll be waving those on the cruise)
2-way radios with a 3 mile range (nice!)
2 Waterproof cameras: my daughter attached herself to those immediately and declared that she would be our photographer
A Minnie Mouse luggage tag and a Mickey Mouse head luggage tag. Of course, Mary also claimed the Minnie tag and that Mickey house tag is HUGE. I'll be able to spot our luggage finally !

Thanks so much, Patty. We really loved the gifts. We can't wait to thank you personally.

Lynn, Pete and Mary Brothers

Bob the hat was for you! It was going to be monogrammed "Willie's *itch". It is your hat for being the shuttle captain (kinda looks like a wimpy captains hat!). Glad you liked everything!

We got home very late for a school night and found a package waiting for us! We were very excited to receive such a nicely arranged box!

Inside the box we received:
a hamper
A blue stuffed whale
toothbrushes
Micky slippers
Pink diary/notebook
Bingo Game
Hand sanitizer
Mickey Soaps!
Yankee Candle Tulip Sachet
Purple Pen
Photo Album
Sewing Kit

Thank you very much Kathy! (kpgclark) We really enjoyed the goodies and look forward to meeting you in person!

 

[kpgclark]

I'm glad you liked everything. I thought the slippers were cute and I hope they fit your daughter for the cruise. Nice and fluffy. I have the hamper myself and I love it for travel since it folds to practically nothing. I figure it will come in useful for the long trip. I got the photo album at Barnes and Noble and I thought it was a nice small size for one vacations worth of photos.

My gift is ready to go! Ran into a snag with courier unable to deliver to PO Box address, so I'm hoping to get a shipping location.

Otherwise, it's "Snail Mail" ... and from Canada, that's EXACTLY what it will be!

The courier brought our gift to our house last night - but we weren't home!

It's being re-delivered after 5:00 tonight. I can't wait to get home!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Received our gift box today. It was a surprise since I hadn't mentioned that we'd be receiving one. Sandy got the box from the mailman. One of my gallery customers is named Barrington and since Sandy saw that name in the address she assumed it was from my customer and put the box into my shop for me to open later. I brought the box into the house and told everyone it wasn't from my customer but from Jazzman, Denise and family, our newest best friends from Barrington RI. They tore into the box!!
Here follows a list by who snagged what:

DS-
travel connect 4 game
deck of cards
spinning light up toy (looks like maroccas)
bubbles
disney sports bottle

DD-
clue game
squeeze light up ball
other marocca ball
other bubbles
journal
photo album
waterproof camera

Sandy-
Pac-Vac-'N-Stack bags
storage bags
duck tape
cork screw
anti bacterial wipes
sunblock
hand sanitizing lotion
sunblock lip balm

Mark-
Book on Panama Canal
2 cool pirate finger puppets...ARRGGG!!
a ripped up box
wrapping paper

All in all a very happy family here!! (made Sandy run out for more stuff for our box)

I must admit it was great to receive this gift box from our new online friends. This exchange thing is a great thing...Mark

Mary received her gift exchange present today from RobinMarie and her DD, Victoria. She was absolutely thrilled. The smile on her face as she opened this package was priceless. Thanks so much, Robin and Victoria, for making her so very happy.

Here's what she got: The gift was sent to us from The Perfect Gift (Shirley and Norm in Florida's shop). What a beautiful basket! The basket itself was a very large fushcia pink sand pail with a big yellow handle. Attached to the outside of the cellophane wrapping was a yellow sand shovel. Inside the pail were 3 juice boxes, a package of Oreo cookies, a purple sand scooper, and a blue fish mold for making sand fish, a Cinderella coloring book with 24 Disney Magic Artist crayons, a Disney Princess Bubble topper (Cinderella) on a bottle of bubbles with a Cinderella wand to blow the bubbles, and a Disney Princess ineractive Magic Lights Pendant (push the button and it talks, sings and lights up) . Now that's some gift basket!

Pixie dust arrived today for Mary !!! Thanks again.......
