ah, poo.....I was hoping Theo would post pictures of the stuff I sent her....how selfish of me :)

I think of posting pictures of the box you get is a way of thanking the sender.

Tammy, did you order 500 Vegan Recipes for me, then decide to keep it?!?!?
I just went to order it on amazon and it said somebody already purchased it for you  ;D
I totally thought about keeping VWAV when I got it for Theo!

no, that was an awesome idea - I asked for Theo's wish list because I couldn't find it on my own....I live by amazon wish lists!

I GOT MY PACKAGE FROM OWW! I apparently do not have extra special deductive skills, because I had ruled her out. I guess I just assumed I wouldn't get anyone International. I'm so happy!!! It's a fabulous package, and exceeds all expectations. I love it all. I've been so lucky to have 2 wonderful New Zealanders receive me for gift exchanges. : )

Oww sent me:

a beautiful, sweet, caring note on "heartful monkey" paper/envelope
some of THHF's doggie treats for Olen (tree shapes)
Asian spiced tofu snacks in sesame and chili flavors
large block of peppermint dark chocolate (it's the same brand that Theo sent me! she sent a type of dark chocolate)
home made baklava!!! in reusable container
a super fantabulous homemade Lil AC and Olen book (one of the sweetest things, ever)

the tofu snacks, extra sweet note, huge bar of mint dark chocolate, homemade vegan treats for Olen, vegan baklava, fabulous homemade Lil AC and Olen book.
We've tried the chili tofu snacks (really good! P thought Oww had made them, and wanted me to get the recipe. They are like spicy jerky.
The chocolate is good! Mint chocolate is P's favorite, so I'll share. Olen loves his treats (I like them too..). THE BAKLAVA IS OUT OF THIS WORLD. I was like mmm...mmmmm....mmmmmmmmm. It's so perfect. Perfect!

The book (L'il AC Makes A Friend). There aren't words to describe how sweet it is! I had such a huge grin the whole time. This is perfect for me! Just my type of thing. I love, love, love it. It's bound, and laminated, and everything. It's wonderful. You get to enjoy it, too...

"One day L'il aC went fora walk to the park.

There were no other children there for her to play with.

L'il AC was sad."

"L'il AC saw a dog walking down the path towards her.

He had a lead on, but there was no one else to be seen anywhere nearby.

L'il AC thought he looked like a friendly dog, so she stopped him and said hello.

And that's how L'il AC met Olen."

"They walked home together to her house to play.

L'il AC was happy to discover Olen liked the same things she did!

They both liked hiking, and eating tasty fruits and vegetables, especially avocado."

"By the time they got home, they were feeling hungry.

Olen and L'il AC sat down to a snack of peanut butter together."

"Now it was getting late, the sun was starting to set.

L'il AC and Olen had been having such fun they had lost track of time.

So L'il AC said Olen could stay over with her, and they both curled up under the blanket and went to sleep."

omg, right?! So, so cute. (Mr. Oww doesn't know what he's talking about! I got the same criticism from P for the book I colored!)

and a video of Olen enjoying his first piece of treat! (he was a little disturbed right before this, because I was opening up the food containers, and they were making loud sounds)

I just had another piece of baklava, and it's one of my favorite desserts, ever.
:)>>>

(also, I never knew other people could look at Amazon wish lists, either. Kinda weird..)

that book is amazing!  how creative!  I love the cut-out pictures....I would have never thought of that in a million years!  You rock OWW!

You can keep your Amazon wish list private if you want - mine's public because Andy and I look at each others from time to time and buy each other random surprises....

oh, they sell those tofu things at a chinese store here. i got some one time and they were waaaaaaay sweet. maybe i should try some different ones...

awww I'm so glad it got there ok! 
yah! and thank you for the lovely awesome descriptions, I'm so pleased to see you liked it.  I was worried ... well, about everything really!  I was concerned the baklava would be all melty and gross and the asian tofu stuff was a bit of a gamble, especially knowing you have tried all kinds of 'jerky'-like stuff that you guys have available over there, and the book... well, it's just a bit weird, ya' know?

why is Olen's lead funny/confusing?  What do you call it?

and Sunshine Rasta was going to help me make some other 'craftier' things, but, little bitch, she just ended up eating the leftover baklava.

That is a GREAT package! Haha. I love the book!

I feel like the one I sent should be there by nowwww. Argg.
