I'm pretty sure that I was your name! But there was no note included! However since none of it would be included in the Letter M exchange, I have to think this is the exchange it's for.
I received:
A lovely Winnie the Pooh Album/notebook?
A Paint a cell of Tigger and Pooh - So cute!
Zooloons Inflate & create balloon and inflator kit
Extra Balloons
Disney Princess Jar Art Cinderella - Turns a large jar into a gift package.

They look fine. Infact they're going in my Neice's easter basket. I had fun tormenting my cats with the balloon's last night. I'm so afraid of inflating them to bursting. :) My nephew may get those, but hey, he'll have fun torturing his sisters. :) It was a great package.
Mine is packed and ready to go. At just over 5.5 lbs, I think the person getting it will appreciate the diversity of the items. I went thru much of my gift closet and picked out a few items. :) and then used filler. *giggles* It's a stuffed box. I could put in more.. Maybe I will.:thumbsup2
