Spring/Easter Exchange: Sent & Received

[J&D]

Tired of suffering from the "winter blues" or "cabin fever"? Can't wait for spring to arrive? If so, then sign up for the Reward Board Spring/Easter exchange.

Here are the details:

I will take names up until next Monday, February 16th. I will get the names out soon thereafter. Each person that is interested needs to copy and PM me the following information:

DIS Name:
Real Name:
Address:
Favorite Color:
Favorite Spring/Easter Treat or Candy:
Favorite Spring Scent(s):
Favorite Spring/Easter Activities:
Favorite Disney Character(s):

Collections:

For this exchange you will mail only one package to your pal. In order for all packages to make it to their destination by Easter, the deadline for this exchange will be March 26th. Let’s try to keep the price of the package under $15 (excluding shipping). Most, but not all, of the items sent should be Spring/Easter-or Disney-related. Use the information provided by your pal to help you plan your packages.

Have fun!!!

And let me tell you, it is some package: candy, peeps, egg dieing kit, scrapbooking supplies, sunflower seeds, popcorn, Hawiian cookie mix, Hawiian coffee candy and Hawiian FruitGo all in a lovely basket!

The peeps, suckers, skittels and starburst are gone! I'm not going to share the chocolate bunny. Well maybe with DH!

Thank you!

I am doing my shopping this weekend, just so everyone knows.

Lori

[mommytotwo]

I'm glad that you liked it Lori. Have a Happy Easter and enjoy.

[patsal]

I received mine on Friday, Thanks Beanie! What a great surprise, and sooo many great treats.
I will be sending mine out on Monday, I finally finished it and packaged it all up.
Have a great weekend everyone!

I have gotten a few things so far but I am no where near done. I got a few things while at WDW last week, but since we just got back I need to go out and shop some more. If I do not work Friday I will shop then and hopefully mail out by Monday. DS's only have 1/2 days next week so I doubt I'll work much. Should be a productive week at home.

Thank you Lori. I will use the stickers for my scrapbooking, the egg decorating kit and dipper for easter day along with the plastic eggs, baking cups for my Easter desserts, and will enjoy the rest. Happy Spring and Easter to you and everyone else.

Tantor,
So glad you liked everything! I kind of figured that the pez and stickers would end up with your DD, my DD helped pick them out and really liked them as well!
Since this was my first exchange I didn't know we were supposed to post what we rec'd. so when I posted that my package from Beanie was rec'd I didn't mention the wonderful surprises that I got. Unmistakably form Beanie--Beanie Bunnies one full size and one very nice violet mini bunny!
A bottle of Baileys, a great "sack" of Easter candy treats, some eggs filled with candy, Pooh Malted Milk eggs--a huge hit with the kids as well!, an Easter tumbler and a few scrapbooking supplies. Thanks :) I almost forgot to add the purple peeps--my favorite color and a cute Easter favorite at my house!
This was so much fun:Pinkbounc

[rafikimom]

When I finish posting, I'm on my way to the post office to mail my box! Here it comes secret pal!:wave:

[dtuleya]

DH didn't get a chance to mail my package yesterday, but he promises me it will be shipped today!

[WDWMom]

Received my package from TEK yesterday. I love all the stuff.

I received...

a cute Easter basket full with some Hersey kisses and malted milk balls, rose and lavendar scented candles and a pretty holder, a decorative sign for my garden (which is way too pretty to put outside so I think I will hang it on my potting table), lots of seeds for my new garden, and garden gloves (in the move I am not sure where mine are so they will come in handy). I can not wait to use the gardening things. It is finally warming up here in MI and with a new yard I am looking forward to starting new.

Thanks again TEK.



My package is going out today secret pal. I know it is last minute but lots of things going on with my kids these days (and not all good) and it has been hectic.

[TEK224]

Now don't fogret to let us know how your garden grows!:sunny:

TEK

[Ohanamom]

Sorry so last minute Secret Pal (you know who you are ;) ) Had to get a few last minute things. :D

[Tantor]

:bounce:

[Luvdancink]

Mine is sent. Sorry about the delay secret pal.

~Kristy

[dtuleya]

Mine is in the mail too thanks to DH!

[Luvdancink]

Thank you so much J & D for my gift. I'm sooo sorry I haven't been able to thank you sooner, but a good friend of our family was admitted to the ICU, and I've ben spending so much time there, and so little time on the computer. I recieved lotion, a cute butterfly tea light, a cute bear, and the cutest stickers. Thanks so much!

~Kristy

[J&D]

According to my records, all packages have been sent!!!
:Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc

Kristy- Glad to hear that you did receive your package. I was getting worried that it was lost. I assume that you did also receive the Pooh pen and photo album. Hope your friend is doing better.

[Luvdancink]

Oh yes i recieved those as well. Sorry I think I left my mind somewhere else. My friend is stable now but still in the hospital. Thank you so much again for everything.


~kristy

[TEK224]

Lots of neat stuff! Let's see... I got a big bag of honeysuckle
potporri, a cute pair of baby blue socks with Easter eggs on them, a silver picture frame with Mickey cut-outs on it, a candle in a cute little yellow container decorated like a chick, a bouquet of Mickey pops, a bag of Hershey nuggets w/almonds and a word puzzle book.

Thanks for all the goodies Debbie. As Tony the Tiger would say - "They're GR-R-REAT!" Of course I'm in trouble now. I finished my workout and sat down to start on the puzzle book and the next thing I knew half of the bag of Hershey Nuggets were gone. I have no willpower. :teeth:

Terri

[rafikimom]

I'm so glad you liked everything, and it sounds like the chocolates were a big hit! I had a lot of fun picking things out for you. I liked the Mickey frame sooo much I bought one for me too! Enjoy your puzzles!:wave2:

[J&D]

The Easter Bunny came to see me today! http://www.click-smilies.de/sammlung0304/feiertage/feiertag-smiley-005.gif

I received a wonderful package from Laura (Ohanamom)!

My goodies were wrapped in a cute Easter bag. Inside the Easter bag was an adorable Disney tote bag. Inside the tote was the following:

Easter card
box of Lion King Kleenex
Stitch Play-Doh set
vanilla candle
giant Mickey lollipop
Pooh scrapbooking punch
beautiful limited edition Lenox 2000 Bandleader Mickey snow globe ornament- it shows Mickey floating down Broadway (with the Twin Towers in the background) in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

It was such a cute package. I will try to post a picture when DH has the time to help me.

Thank you, Easter Bunny!!! :D

[rafikimom]

My package came today!:Pinkbounc It was from Luvdancink(Kristy). I had a cute little bunny dressed in purple(my favorite color!), some adorable easter stickers, a cute chick pez despenser, some wonderful bath & bodyworks hand lotion, and a very nice card. Thank you so much Kristy, what a nice Easter package.:wave: And another thankyou for J&D for getting this together. It was a blast!

[Ohanamom]

Im so glad that you liked everything!

Our Wal Mart had been out of those tote bags for some time and I was so happy when I went in last Friday and they had gotten more in. Even bought myself another one (couldn't resist;) )

Hope you and your family have a wonderful Easter!

[Beanie]

My package came today!! :) Thank you WDWMom!! I love everything!! :)

Sue sent me 2 sheets of Hershey scrapbook paper, a sheet of Hershey stickers, 3 sheets of assorted Scrapbook stickers, 2 Flower Kitchen towels, a notepad with magnet (which I truly needed!!), a very cute card and she also sent me something that I am very, very grateful for!! Sue sent me Disney fabric!!! I was so excited to see that because I didn't have either one of them!! One is Cinderella on it withFairy Godmother, the coach and castle and it is very pretty. The other is Mickey Nascar, which I LOVE!!! Thank you so much, Sue!! You really sent me so much!! :)

[dtuleya]

Beanie - I've got a great idea! You could make us all matching shirts for the Hershey meet. I can see the people ROGLOL at us now!:tongue:

[Beanie]

Do you really think I am that talented? :p How about matching drawstring bags instead, much simplier and less time!! ;)

Now, lets see...what kind of material...Disney or lime green? I wonder if they make Hershey Kiss material??

[rafikimom]

I would vote for the Hershey Kiss material:tongue: Yummy!

[Beanie]

Yes, I thought Hershey material would be cool to use as well, but now that I have been looking online all morning, I am not so sure! It seems to be "discontinued" and what people do have of it to sell is VERY expensive! I might have to look into other ideas! LOL

[eller]

How about lime green with a chocolate kiss on it?

Lori

[WDWMom]

Beanie,

I am glad you liked everything. I had a hard time trying to stop buying for you. I figured you could you the Hersey stuff after the meet. I thought it was perfect. I couldn't resist the fabric either. Figured with a boy and girl you could put it to good use.

Happy Easter

[J&D]

How about matching drawstring bags instead, much simplier and less time!! Beanie makes the cutest bags.

Any packages arrive today?

[dtuleya]

Yep, I got my box of goodies from dznypal! I had so much fun opening the box. She picked out some great things for me

Lots of Disney and Alphabet Stickers (will come in very handy for my first scrapbooking attempt)
