Halloween Gift Exchange
Posted by nmpixie on Aug 12, 2009 · Member since Jan 2008 · 1243 posts
I think it would be fun to do another gift exchange. I was thinking around Halloween--back-to-school is over, and the holiday season hasn't cranked up yet. It wouldn't necessarily have to be halloween themed, though. Anyone interested? You'd have to be comfortable with sending me your address. I don't have enough money to be a creepy stalker, though, so no worries.
good god, I hope I didn't screw up another one...
I also haven't yet, the excitement mounts!
I sent mine last week, they said that it would take a week to get there, I am hoping that my person gets theirs soon! I am biting my nails a little...
I also want to apologize for not getting the details of my awesome package posted, I don't have regular internet access and I have come down with a cold and missed some work. It's my goal to get the details posted (with pics of course). Again, thank you beets, i loved it all! :)
woohoo, my package has been sent OUT!!!! should be there by Tuesday, so keep an eye out :)
Update: Called the post office and box 365 owners have still not been back since last Friday. Heidi said she thinks the guy who picked up the package may be a truck driver and only picks up his mail every so often. She said she will call me when he finally makes it in!
yaya I got a fantastic package today! (might have been here yesterday but I wasn't around!) I'm running to work at the moment BUT I'll post when I get back!!
Ok, here are some pics. Sorry I didn't put the ones with me modeling, they came out too blurry. So my beautiful daughter is the model. Thanks Cali!
Couple more!

Thank you again!
I so feel like I can successfully make another apron or two now. I so did not understand the pattern for the longest time. But once I got to the last 2 pieces it all made sense! Glad you like it Corinna! Your daughter is gorgeous by the way!
I got my package from owalkerjillo yesterday!! It contained a pretty purple crocheted hat, 3 fruit leathers, a chocolate bar, almond dr. bronner's, Anna's almond cinnamon cookies, recipes for banana bread, brazilian black bean and red pepper salad, gazpacho, and chocolate chip bread, all with wonderful explanations about them, and some delicious banana bread! I will post a picture soon. Thank you so much!!! <3 :D
Ah I'm so glad it arrived safely :) Was the banana bread okay? I hoped it would make it without getting too stale or anything!!
Cali, that apron is LOVELY. Corinna was lucky to get you!

You did such a good job on the apron, you should make some more for sure! And thank you, I think she is quite a doll! lol
I have destroyed all the goodies in my package! So yummy!!

All of the goodies arrived in excellent and quite tasty condition! :)
I make the 'chicken' soup for the soul, pumpking muffins and Joan's cake recipes. All very, very good!
I'm looking forward to making the eggplant stew and coffee cake soon, probably next week or so!
The bookmarks are perfect and are coming in very handy, I refuse to use the bee one for my school books since the books get shoved in and and out my bookbag a lot, I don't want to ruin it, so it's used for my personal enjoyment readings!
Woo-hoo, looking forward to getting a VegNews magazine!!
