I just have to wrap everything and write the card which I will do shortly.
I might have to ask for an extension for the Halloween swap as I am not back from holiday until 20th October. I so want to do this though as I will be able to big up the goodies for the swap from DCL and WDW.

Just received a fantastic selection of goodies from my Super Secret Sender!!! :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
I opened the box and found a card and a host of beeootifully wrapped packages...
http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s84/cheztaylor/General%20PIcs/DSCF1369.jpg
After unwrapping, I was even more impressed!!!
http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s84/cheztaylor/General%20PIcs/DSCF1372.jpg
Firstly, I've gotta say what an absolutely BRILLIANT idea to send a magazine with a beach bag!!! :worship: :worship: :worship: I rarely buy myself a mag (even tho' I love 'em) and I don't have a beach bag so this is perfect for my Spain hols in two weeks - thank you for such a thoughtful gift... But it don't stop there - Thorntons choccies (love 'em); 2 Yankee Candle tarts (love 'em); 4 Yankee Candle tealights plus gorgeous little handbag holders (love 'em); Yankee Candle pot pourri (love it - especially useful for fragrancing the house whilst I'm away...) and last but not least a cute Mickey Mouse phone charm (love it too) which I am about to add...
So thank you, thank you, thank you ~ whoever you are!!! I am very grateful for the lovely gifts and extremely touched by your generosity... :hug: :flower3: :cloud9:

A personalised Tinker Bell cushion (which is fantastic and I love it!), a Stitch phone charm (adorable!), some lovely summery hair clips and bobbles and a cute Cindy pin!

When I got to work today, a big package was waiting for me. I took all my self-discipline not ripping it there and then. Here are some photos:

http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q51/dolphingirl_album/SDC10164.jpg
As the photos are not wonderful, here is what I got: a really cool Mickey Mouse mug from Disneyland Resort Paris, stripy Minnie socks, a really nice Pooh and Friends photo frame from WDW, a Beach Walk Yankee Candle Tart (I was seriously tempted by this scent when I visited some shops specialising in Yankee Candles over the weekend, but had spent more than enough already.) and a Natural Collection Power Shower Trio consisting of a very colourful shower scrunchie and bottles of Passionfruit Shower Gel, Ice Musk Shower Gel and Apple and Lime Shower Gel. Thank you so much dear Secret DIS Friend. I love everything.

Yes, I loved the dolphin paper. There were even dolphins on the outside of the box. My boss kept trying to convince me to open the box, not that he is nosy or anything like this ;)

I finally have my present :banana::banana::banana: I was so excited I ripped the box open at work yesterday! Having a stressful time at work so apologies for putting these on late :hug:
My box was pretty inside with disney stickers and tissue paper :goodvibes
http://i458.photobucket.com/albums/qq304/gemmybear83/002-2.jpg
Inside are some lovely presents - a WDW lolly (yum!), two mini yankee candles (which smell lush!) and a Victoria's Secret pink luggage tag which I love and is going on my case for disney!
http://i458.photobucket.com/albums/qq304/gemmybear83/004-6.jpg
Best of all (and I find this a bit spooky!) is a disney beach towel! I was going to but one from the disney store this weekend to take on holiday :thumbsup2

Fantastic exchange everyone - we all got some lovely gifts to cheer us all up through the tough times at the moment! :)
I'd like to add my thanks to Mandy (as always!) who organises these exchanges for us, which are always tons of fun to take part in! Again, thanks Mandy for all your dedication and hard work to make them run as smoothly as possible! :hug: Can't wait for the next one....:woohoo:

I think this exchange has been great, with some fab and generous gifts ::yes::
I'm looking forward to the Hallowe'en one too. I've already got half of the gift (from my last WDW holiday) and I know what I need to buy to finish it off. Infact, I've got most bits for the Hallowe'en, Christmas Decoration and Secret Santa, and my shopping list is ready for when I go in August :rotfl2:

I am not quite so organised, but intend to come back from Florida with stuff for the next three exchanges. A combination of WDW and DCL to pick goodies up is just too good to resist.

It's actually our 4th Summer exchange :faint: I wouldn't have believed it either but I checked my little book ;)
Thankfully for the majority of the exchanges, all is stress free, it's just when gifts go missing or are sent out late that I start to worry. I'm sure one day, everyone will send them out on time :rotfl2::rotfl2:
