Dear Nancy (NJFL),
Got your box of goodies last night and I will quote my daughters "YOU ROCK"!!! Wow, I don't know what to say. First of all, when I saw that huge box on my front porch, I thought...what did I order now? Well, words cannot begin to express how wonderful and thoughtful each and everything in that box meant. Both DDs were squealing when they saw a stocking for each of them with their name on it. All the goodies from pens to candy to notepads and the other things, too many to list, were perfect for them. I love everything you got me, from all the great Xmas decorations to candy to notepads to post-it notes and most of all, the James Patterson book. I just read #5 & #6 and was going to go to the library this week to get the 1st one and now I don't. I'm glad you got a kick out of my DH, the Yankee fan!LOL! He sure got a kick out of all the great things for him. He has a great sense of humor so you picked the right one. He told me to let you know: "Bring it on, Red Sox fan...anytime"!LOL! He'll be rooting for the Giants and eating his peanuts and popcorn, all nice & comfy in his Pinstripes are for Pansies t-shirt. Great stuff for him. Again, I thank you so much. You made our day.
Kathy

It was so funny when my boys heard that I got a yankee`s fan. My son owns yankee killa.com and he sells t-shirts. Those are only two of them. I`m glad I did good in what I mailed. tell your husband that I will bring it on and he will be sorry he said that. he he he nancy

Hi, everyone!! First, a HUGE THANK YOU to Skye for the wonderful box that she sent to us!! We all had a blast going through the box and finding our goodies. I loved everything that you sent to me BUT must admit that the ornament from the Lakota charity was my favorite item and will be displayed year round along with the flag plaque.
Thomas, my oldest, was fooled by the gingerbread ornaments at first because he told me that they smell good enough to eat. He loved the scent of the handmade soap as well.
Jarod, my youngest, has been enjoying coloring the Avatar & Spongebob coloring book with the True to Life cyarons that you sent to him. He asked me to ask you where you found them because he collects crayons and has never seen any quite like that. Smile!!
Mike, my husband, had a HUGE smile on his face as he unwrapped his chocolate goodies. When he was in Korea, he loved the Chocolove bar and had not been able to find any around here.
Thank you!! Thank you for helping bring smiles to all of our faces!!

Second, Nancy, you're welcome & I am glad that you enjoyed everything. We had fun picking out everything for each of you. I hope that the outfit fits Gabriel okay because I am sure he will look cute in it on his motorized Harley.

Wishing everyone a wonderful holiday!!!

Debbie

Hi all....we recieved the most wonderful package today from Kvero! My girls and grandbaby had so much fun unwrapping each item! They loved everything! The horse calender and planner was perfect and she loves the personalized note cards! Dezi loved the princess purse, Elmo and Dora books! Lindsey loves the bath stuff--it smells soooo good and the nail polish and lip gloss! I loved the cookbook, novel, and all the notepads. Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness!!

Hey Debbie,

I'm so glad you liked everything. I had the worst time trying to find something special for you.. I do a ton of craft shows and you'd think it would be easy to find something with angels, wolves, patriotic or american indian theme - but everything was $$$ or I just didn't like it. I was so glad when I finally saw that flag sign and knew the crafter who made it. I'm glad you liked the ornament too, I hoped you would and figured that you wouldn't mind my sharing a gift I got from them because it represented my respect for their culture and my donations to the charity to help take care of the kids. I was so thrilled this year when I won them 10,000 bonus Boxtops for Education. My friend who is a crafter makes that soap, I really love her stuff. I even got her to sell some on the Neoloch auction site. We did a show together and I bartered with her some of mine for some of hers.

I made the gingerbread ornaments, but not the hershey's kiss one (another crafter there). Really simple recipe - cinnamon and applesauce - nothing else. Mix, roll, cut, and dry in food dryer (or a low oven, I prefer a food dryer though) - thats why they smell so good. If you store it in a ziploc baggie during the year it will last for years - and if somebody does eat it there's no harm. Its perfectly safe!

I found the crayons at Target. I thought they looked so unique. I had wanted to get a coloring book for him as well but never found a Spongebob one - hence the "homemade" book. I hope I had the right Avatar - I wasn't sure. There's a ton more pages on the website that you can print out for free.

I love Chocolove bars - believe it not I can get them at Target sometimes! Here's a link to the "where to buy" part of their website. - Where to Buy Chocolove Premium Belgian Chocolate Bars

I'm so glad everyone liked everything, I had fun trying to find things that would bring a little of the Christmas spirit to your house.

Gina

I got my package about 2 days ago but I haven't had a chance to open it. I'm hoping to get the chance this weekend after I get my tree up and finish up some errands. So a pre-opening thanks to my swap partner, its all heavy and rattles nicely and I can't wait to peek!

I just wanted to say that today I finally had time to sit down and enjoy my package which had arrived awhile ago. All of the orders for my home business were filled, all of the packages I needed to give to people in the next 3 days were wrapped, the food for the Christmas eve and Christmas day dinner's done, tree up, lights on etc.

Thank you so much to my secret santa - I loved the gifts. I may be a metalhead but I love old fashioned christmas music - you can't get any better then Bing Crosby etc. I loved the mugs and can't wait to try the coffee - I've always wanted to go to the Mall of America, perhaps someday. The chocolate was chocolate - need I say more! And while those aren't usually the types of books I buy - I confess I love reading them once in awhile (usually on a long flight when I swear "I found it in the seat pocket". I will enjoy them like the rare guilty pleasure they are. Also loved the promo stuff - believe or not I find it quite useful. I hate having to pack full sized stuff when I travel so its all going to be quite useful over the next few years. And the kitten calendar was adorable - one of them even looked like our brand new kitten that came free with our christmas tree (rescue). Thanks so much!
