Ok one more questions... In what kind of stuff do you pack you gifts? Box or enveloppe? I've got all my stuff and planning to mail it tomorow but I don't have a clue in waht kind of package to send it in! Also, do I have to give my "secret friend" what she asked for? Or I can "work" around it? Also Thinkerbell is an insect right? She as wings!!!:confused:

[AlexWyattMommy]

Envelope will probably mail the cheapest for you.
You can "work" around the list.
Wings = insect to me. :)

[snowwhitesmom]

Sounds like a great package Passions!

I plan on mailing my package today. I've been in bed the last 2 days and didn't get my package mailed the other day, this winter has really been hard on me, it seems like I've been sick on and off for the last 2 months. I can't wait to get healthy and stay healthy. Hope everyone else has been having a healthy winter.

[KNEIPPK]

Mailed mine yesterday:yay:

That ear piercing squeal that I am sure Kim heard all the way in NJ was Katey yelling "HIPPO!" when she opened her box. :thumbsup2 She also received a ceramic snail bank (just have to convince her to save her $$$ now), butterfly windchimes (very cute), a ladybug ring toss (already opened and being played with, a butterfly necklace, and foam stamps.

I'm glad she liked everything! I know a Hippo isn't an insect but my DD9 found it and said "oh but we just have to get it..she'll love it!" I guess she was right!!
Is a snail an insect??? That was a hot topic amongst my children and myself and we decided that, for this purpose it is!:lmao:

Nancy,
I'm glad you liked everything. This was a fun exchange, lots of neat things out there, I could of purchased lots more but had to stop somewhere. I loved the tin container and decided to add the terra cotta pots in order to turn it into a planter. Hope everything is going smoothly with your house hunting.
