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.
I haven't heard yet if my person has gotten the package and I thought it would have been there by Tuesday so I'm a little worried that something happened to it... :-/
i got this week!!! i'm sorry, i don't have much access to the internet anymore and was trying to write a personal letter. I LOVE IT!!! thank you thank you. unfortunately i have to go bc i'm sneaking onto here.... ILLEGAL ME! anyway, thanks again, you'll be receiving written word from me shortly!!!
MUCH LOVE!!!
THEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I received the package today, and P and I agree that it is one of the nicest gifts, ever. P said "that's one of the nicest things I've ever seen." I love it so much. I have to go back to work, so I can't elaborate/take pics now, but I will later!
Thank you so much. :)>>> :)>>> :)>>> :)>>> :)>>> :)>>> :)>>> :)>>> :)>>> :)>>> :)>>> :)>>> :)>>> :)>>> :)>>>

Yay, you got it! I am so glad you liked it, I was worried. I've never done a gift exchange so I wasn't really sure what to send, especially since I don't bake or sew. It was such a crazy jumble of random stuff. lol

<3 I think we're automatically Bffs now.
Also, P keeps going on about it, and he loves it.
Okkkkkkkkk. Theo made me a BEAUTIFUL doll. It's absolutely gorgeous, and impressive. The embroidery work is so amazing! You are so talented, Theo. My doll is AC, and she has my tattoo, some necklaces, a vegan police badge, and a beautiful skirt and shirt. She has my eyes, lips, and hair. She also has a lovely hemp bag (Theo, I didn't understand the kite part?). I love everything about her!!!! I love the skirt fabric, and the bag, and the eyes, and my favorite part is the tattoo. It's perfect! I did turn the shirt around so that I can always see the tattoo! So, in the pictures you will see the front of the shirt on the back. Love her.
Theo also sent a huge block of wonderful dark chocolate, and a sweet note.
Thank you so much, Theo. I know you spent a lot of time on her, and a lot of money to ship everything. It's wonderful.
The pictures are dark....because it's dark!

The black part is the back of the shirt. You can see the necklaces, and the badge, and the bag. The colored yarn is also part of the shirt.

holy moly that's amazing!! I can't believe Theo made that! Man, you are talented!
Also, AC, I think maybe the 'kite part' was meant to be 'kete' - because that 'hemp bag' looks like a kete to me.....
I love it!

Ohhh, yes. That's definitely what she meant, because that's what she said! I just didn't get it. Oh, and I totally meant to say flax. Not hemp. ! Thanks, oww.
Aweeeeeee. That is so freaking cute!!
Ahhhh it's so awesome to see pics of her all the way over there with you! I really wanted to take pics of her with me, so I could send them to you and be like "nice to hang out with you AC" but ran out of time haha. I am so pleased that you like her, I had loads of fun making her, especially trying to copy your vegan brand! :)
Lots of love from NZ :)>>>
P.S. oww, yep, I probably mis-spelled kete in my haste!
Awesome work Theo!! Sooo creative.
OMGoodness! Theo, I love her! Little AC is unbelievably adorable. :)>>> The two of them together look so cute...you can see the happiness in "real" AC's face. :)>>> What a great gift.
Theo, that doll is beautiful. Very thoughtful gift!
Oh and nmpixie, in reference to your gift, I have to apologize because I thought you only had one dog, and now I saw that you actually have two....so sorry I did not mean to exclude one!
OMG that is crazy good!!
(Ps. Ally- I take my good foods bag like...everywhere now. For real, lol. Thanks again ~^_^~)

I went to the post office again today. The person who received the package is not returning it and I have no recourse because it was addressed to their post office box.
So, for the exchange, my giver and I got a nice big fuck. You'll be happy to know that I'm std-free. I would have been happier with rainbow cupcakes.
Not that I'm ever planning to participate again. One fuck was enough. But the next time you all should use elfster.
greenT, that's another amazing package, great work Kennedy! : )
hh, that whole f*cked up parcel mix-up makes me want to cry, seriously. I'm long past being able to believe it, but I wish people were less horrible.

That is bullshit! I can't believe someone would keep something that wasn't meant for them! I hope their karma gets them AND leaves them with an STD.
