*GENERAL EXCHANGE GUIDELINES*
1. You must have been active on the forums for at least 6 months OR have 1,000 posts. If you've been here a while you're more likely to send out your package.
2. Don't flake on your partner, just like you wouldn't want your partner to flake on you. If you're unsure whether you'll have time/money to get a package together, don't sign up.
3. Bring it! Don't send out something crappy!
4. Homemade and/or store bought goodies are welcome.
5. This is an ALL VEGAN exchange.
Just checked the delivery confirmation number and the package I sent has been officially delivered, yay! :)
**squee!!** :D :D :D :D
I just received my package! :)>>>
Here is a description of the wonderful and thoughtful things in my gift!
2 fantasy books (lubi, my son recommended those books to me but I couldn't remember the names of them!)
another book - The Happiness Project - I can't wait to start this book. : )
a bag of pickled mustard tubers - I have no idea what this is but am excited to try it!
a bag of butterscotch chips - YES!! Need I say more?!
a box of chrysanthemum tea - I have already opened this and tried it. It is really good. Yay for new tea! :)>>>
a bag of peanut powder - I don't have a clue what to do with this ....yet. I will research and make something fabulous. ^-^
a bag of 'wet seedless tamarind' - also something I don't know what to do with yet. Lots of recipes in my cookbooks call for tamarind so I will put it to use soon.
a bag of crushed chili flakes - I have been using crushed chili flakes a lot lately so these will be put to very good use.
a can of 'vegetarian mock popk' is popk suppose to be pork?! lol - depending on how this smells it might be going into the Italian Easter Pie I am making for this weekend. If not I will use it to make some sort of shepards pie. These new foods are so exciting!
a rice scraper/scoop - can never have too many rice scoops. ;)b
a super cute (so me!) apron....I will model later and post a picture. ::)
and a great note from Lubi! :)>>> :)>>> :)>>>

Thank you so much Lubi. :)>>> I love it. VW'ers rock hard!
ps - the canned mock meat is not in the picture because I just realized I had set it on the table.
Wow, AWESOME package!! I'm curious as to what those pickled mustard tubers are, lol! Love the apron too, so pretty! :)
woooohooo for first successful package delivery! And what a wonderful one! Awesome work Lubi!!
Look forward to hearing from abrimmer's person today too....
me: I'm done shopping but will have to bake tomorrow/monday and post out Tuesday I think!
Just checked the delivery confirmation number and the package I sent has been officially delivered, yay! :)
Thank you for my amazing package!!! I will post pics as soon as i fix my photo software stuffs...

earthy pencils, notebook, peace necklace, reusable lunch bags... i love the radish container you used for the cookies!!!
handmade bracelet and ring... with extra green beads <3 and handmade mocha bath salts!
rabbit candle holder
indie cd and stickers
homemade sweet tea cookies (yummmmmm) and a recipe :)
vegan snickers bar OMFG my fave! skittles BLENDERS and a lolly pop the size of my head :)
the cutest little shroom box!
GREEN giraffe water bottle <3
very thoughtful note <3
what a doll... thanx you made my day <3
lol, mock popk! i have eaten that same popk.
so I bought stuff for the gift exchange today and then went to the supermarket to buy a few ingredients I am out of for the things I plan on baking tomorrow......only to find that I lost my wallet somewhere today >: (
So to my person, I may have to send out later than the shipping date because all the stupid shops are shut for Easter so i can't even go and buy the ingredients I wanted tomorrow or Monday. Plus I had planned on getting something shipped directly to you, which I also won't be able to do because I lost my visa debit card. sorry.
But I still plan on making the possibly puke flavoured things, so at least you'll get puke.

All is not lost! ;D ;)b
Sorry to hear about your wallet, shell.
Also, I'm looking at the coupl'a lists-o-things-sent and feeling rather inadequate. ??? I hope my giftee will understand that I cannot send as much as I wish because of money for gifts and int'l postage-weight. I'm sure she will, but... :-[
I don't think we care TOO much about what's inside. It's about getting a package! With my name on it! And I get to open it! But, then again, I'm easily amused.
so after checking my car for the third time, my wallet magically appeared under-ish/near-ish the back seat! AFTER I cancelled my debit card. gjhvbuaoggnawxfnsdpv!!!
Eh, at least I have my other stuffs in my wallet - BUT I'D PREFER THE INGREDIENTS TO THE NON_PUKE THINGS

SOOOOO very happy you like everything! :) It was a lot of fun shopping for you! My daughter promises to get your other gift done as soon as she has a break from school. Hopefully, it'll be before the summer, but you'll get it eventually, lol! (((hugs)))
ya aimee no biggie... i am so happy with everything u sent :)
and i agree that it is not so much how much you send, but the thought and just the excitement of getting something...
i think it brings us all closer and it it's just fun to see what other people think is cool, ya know :)
I got the night off from work, so I am going to use it to work on some of the handmade stuff for my package. I hope I can get it all pulled together by Wednesday! ;)b
im getting mine out asap! but it's been crazy since i got home.
I'm shipping tomorrow!
I was hoping the thing that I ordered would have come in the mail today but it didn't. :( Hopefully it will come tomorrow and I can ship out on Wednesday. If it doesn't come tomorrow I think I will still ship out on wednesday and then ship the other thing later. Bad planning on my part.
SO excited for everyone who got their packages! I love how each package is equally amazing, and so unique! Sounds awesome!!! OMG vegan Snickers-----yaay!!!!
I am officially ready to ship for tomorrow!!!! So excited/nervous....my only problem will be finding time to get to the post office, but I will make it happen!!!
Mine was shipped off today during my lunch break... hope everything stays nice and doesn't melt or something gross :)
*whew* ...all my baking is now complete! All the recipes were all- or semi-original, two of them being based on VW recipes with a good many tweaks on my part. The results have been tested and heartily approved!
*brap*
Now I just need to get crackin' on the rest of the items... I'm hoping to ship it all out by tomorrow. ;)b
