And mine came today! :Pinkbounc :bounce:

Nancy! (Meriweather)

Thanks ever so much.

I got a really cool mug from "Seattle" (boy, I can get one heck of a cup of joe in that one! Love it!), some yummy cappuccino cream wafers, and Ghirardelli sweet ground baking chocolate.

And to top it of, a cedar "moose head"!:bounce: (There is a story behind that one ;) )

I love everything you sent Nancy. :D :D

I have not checked this for a few days! Wow Nancy that was fast! The mugs should go out by the end of the month. Mine will be sent out on Tues. I have them, but it has been a very hectic week, sorry about the delay.

Received my package today from newmousecateer! She sent me a mug with the skyline of Chicago on it, several different flavored teas, a Navy Pier pen and a magnet that matches the picture on the mug.

You are welcome Susan. Enjoy! I had fun picking the stuff out for you and sending it to you.

This is always a nice way to "meet" people here on the boards.

You're great Susan.......see ya in the next exchange ;)

Mine came mine came! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

I had a fantastic package from lizdotcom99 (I love that name, btw :teeth: )

The mug was a really neat tall one with Sorcerer Mickey dancing along both the top (inside) and bottom (outside). I feel like I should put it on some spinning thing and put a stick in the middle or something and recreate one of those early animation devices. :teeth:

She also included some packages of hot chocolate, a plum candle, two snowmen (or I guess one snowman and one snow-lady?) votive candles with a really cute votive "snuffer" (that thing you use to "snuff" out candle flames? It's been a long day, so I'm not sure if I have the right term), some chocolate candy, some bath pearls (with a snowman cap on the container), and a deck of Mickey cards. I think that was everything, there was so much I lost count! LOL!

Anyway, I love all of it!! Thanks so much liz!!

Mine will be going out in the mail either Saturday (if I can get to the post office before they close) or next week. It was going to go out this week, but my car died on me so the time I *was* going to spend mailing the mug ended up being spent finding then buying a new car instead. :( Anyway, if you haven't gotten yours yet, there's at least one person who hasn't mailed it yet but will. :)

Thanks again, Liz, and thanks to crazyme for organizing this one. It was a cute and fun idea! :)

You not the only one who hasn't mailed out their exchanges! I'm guilty! I have everything, but my plan to mail out my packages was waylaid by the cold weather and a sick child. I am going to attempt to go today.

Kirby

01-24-2003, 09:13 AM

Meriweather, glad that you have received yours so quickly. The little post office that we have been using doesn't always sort their mail daily and I have come to wonder if they mail the mail that others bring in daily also.

I'll see you in the next exchange I'm sure! ;)

lizdotcom99

01-24-2003, 10:55 AM

I was so afraid that it would get broken, as I packed it at home rather than at work where there is plenty of bubble wrap!!! I am so glad that you like it!! That makes me happy!! And I am happy to read that you got your "new" car.
Enjoy and stay warm!!!!
Thanks,
Liz

sgfala: I'm glad you liked it. I'm sorry it's not really a nicer mug. I drove 30 miles out to the SWAMP to there gift shop to get your mug and that was the nicest one they had. It's kinda what vacationeers coming thru our town come for is the gators and swamps here.LOL I had the girl call there other shop across the swamp to make sure that was as good as it gets and it was. Hope you enjoy having a little piece of the swamp with you though. It was a lot of fun to shop for you.

RAJAH thanks for the great mug! I love it and all the nice teas you send this was great to come home after a day like i had to day it really brightened my less that wonderful day. Thanks so much. Crazyme5kids thank you for letting me in on the exchange it was a ton of fun. I want to do your next big thing.LOL

Rajah

02-04-2003, 09:05 PM

Glad you liked it. :)

I debated between sending decaf or regular, but decided someone who drinks caffinated tea can and occasionally will drink decaf, but someone who drinks only decaf wouldn't be able to use caffinated tea. Hope you don't mind them being decaf -- they're some of my favorites flavors. :)

Good the mugs are arriving! Tammy, I'm glad you had fun, look for some of the other exchanges that are upcoming (Yankee candle and soft toy one right now). These exchanges are fun aren't they!?

PartyofSix

With all that goes on in our lives each day sometimes it's a wonderful surpise when you get something special like this out of blue. It really brightened up my dim day yesterday to get Rajah mug gift.

On the Yankee candle do you mean from the Yankee candle company? Oh the store takes my breath away it's so strong.LOL Can't I get one from Pier One instead would that be legal? I love candles' but wow if they happen to fire one up while your inthere it's unbearable. I think they need a bigger store>LOL

Have a great day everyone this has been a blast.

crazyme5kids

02-05-2003, 08:38 AM

LOL Tammy! No you can't get one from Pier One! If you want to try a really good Yankee Candle try Clean Cotton. It is light not heavy smelling, very fresh (just like clean laundry). I never paid any attention to Yankee candles until the last exchange, but I am now a fan. Try some stores like Linens and Things, or Bed, Bath and Beyond (if you have them), the carry the candles, it will be easier on your senses and you won't get the same Yankee Candle store effect. The Yankee Candle is a fun exchange!

I love it, it is a wonderful Rhode Island mug with bunches of Ghirardelli chocolates, a yummy Cookies and Cream Yankee candle, a Mickey Mouse magnet from Disney World, a Rhode Island post card, the cutest Mickey card and some Rhode Island information! I love everything, I fixing hot chocolate in my new mug now to enjoy! Thanks again!!! :D :D

I am so excited I received two mug exchanges and a pen exchange today. Must be my lucky day.

I received a Rhode Island mug, Buttercream Yankee Candle, Ghirardelli chocolates, Mickey card, Rhode Island postcard, Minnie Magnet and a fact sheet about Rhode Island all from DisneyFanRI. I am sitting here with my candle burning and it smells so sweet. We don't have Yankee Candles here so never tried one and now I am hooked will be hunting them down.
DisneyFanRI, thank you for the nice surprise.

It was an Arkansas travel mug with a "one pot" bag of Swiss Chocolate Almond" coffee. I feel so bad because I didn't include more in your package. But I hope you enjoy your mug.

02-06-2003, 08:44 PM

I received my mug from Kimber79 today!! It was a great big latte size mug that has been handpainted around the top with giraffe spots! And the handle is the giraffe's neck coming down from the top edge of the cup so his head and chin rest against the side near the bottom. I absolutely LOVE it, KIM!!!!! Included was a box of 6 assorted PartyLite votive candles and a little "baby" mug with a pink and purple heart on it to burn the candles in. Inside the mug is a precious pink chenille teddy bear holding a heart-shaped pillow that says "Too Cute". And he IS!!!

Thank you, Kim!! It's a truly wonderful package and I love it!

Got mine today from djgeffers1! It's a good size mug with pictures of apples on either side - very pretty. There was also a big Hershey bar with almonds in the package. I can't resist chocolate, so I've already been into it! Yum! Thanks, djgeffers1! :wave:

I am glad you liked the giraffe! I had a different mug picked out, and then came across this one. I actually had to buy 2 - one for you and one for me!! :p

Paula,

I somehow missed this when you posted it. I'm so glad you received it okay! This was my first exchange and I was worried that I'd do something wrong.
