[mommytotwo]

Now down to 10.

Laurie, hope you feel better soon.

 

[Disney Hot Mama]

Since we have alot of DISers waiting for their stocking exchange and looking in the mail for it to arrive, here are the dates that your exchange was mailed-

*Disney_Hot_Mama-11/12
*Disney_Hot_Mama's DS-11/15


Wow you do a great job keeping us posted on packages. I just reported on my exchange and let me tell you about the package my son received from the mailman just a short time ago.

It was from Disneylvr729
She ( I am guessing it's a she) got him so much stuff and it is all perfect for him!

Cody received a red stocking with white fur. It's hung with all of the ones we received in this exchange.
Inside this stocking and it didn't all fit in the stocking was the following:
Flashlight
Coleman caribiner w/compass (Cody is a Cub Scout so these were perfect)
HUGE candy cane pencil. (What is so funny about this is his sister received the same candy cane pencil with her exchange so they both have one - no fighting)
Pex dispenser with pez candy
Bionicle (he has already put it together as I am typing)
Deck of Magic cards (he loves magic and is playing with them right now with his sister)
6 count them 6 decks of Harry Potter trading cards. WOW!
'The Dog' playing cards
Keychain portable fan
ceramic Santa mug
Reindeer pail
and I think that is everything.

You have made a 10 year old boy very happy today. He was the last in our family to receive his package and he was getting excited each time the mailman came. What was really unique about this give was the way it was packaged. The 'box' was more of a triangle shape but about 3 feet long!!! That alone was exciting for him to see and open and then when he got everything out he was jumping for joy.

Thank you very much for the exchange. I think I am hooked on these exchanges. They may take away my kids college fund but..........
The kids keep asking mom what is the next exchange?
Sign us up!

Merry Christmas to you and your family. I love the DISBoards.

I got home from the set late last night and then had minor surgery today. Just getting online after opening it. (My son is working on the movie The Santa Clause 3!) Anyway onto my fantastic stocking..................

Where do I start.....
First the stocking was a beautiful snowman stocking. It is so pretty I have already put it up on the mantel with the Thanksgiving stuff. I don't want to put is away it is so beautiful.
Then inside the stocking (and it didn't all fit in the stocking) was the following:
2 Hallmark chocolate bars
Hot Coacoa
Mulling Spices (smells divine!)
Southern Pecan Toffee (chocolate, nuts and toffee - Looks yummy)
Scrapboking embellishments
hand butter lotion
$10.00 Starburck card!!!!!
cheese straws snacks
Santa ornament pouch (so cute its already on display!)
The Smell of Christmas contains popouri and a votive candle
and the bestest of them all
a page a day of Sudoku - thats 365 Sudolu puzzles

I love EVERYTHING!!!!! Thank you so much you really outdid yourself. You have made my day brighter as the drugs from the surgery wear off.
Merry Christmas Susie to you and your family!

Laurie,

I'm so glad you liked the stocking and the "stuffers"! I really wanted to do more on the scrapbooking stuffers but I can't find much around here and my "Creative Memories" contact moved away. Bummer!

I hope you get to feeling better soon. Sounds like you've really been busy. I've been following your posts about your son being in the new Santa Claus 3 movie. How exciting! Has he been in any other movies? Be sure to tell us which elf he plays when the movie comes out.

Merry Christmas to you and all of your family and hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Laurie,

You would have laughed at me like everyone else did at the post office trying to get everything put into the box! I had everyone laughing at me at the post office. I am so glad your DS enjoyed everything. It was so easy to shop for him since I have a DS his age. I am glad he loved everything. Thank you all!

 

[PixieDust32]

BTW Mike, if you ever need any scrapbooking ideas, borders, let me know, I have tons of ideas in my computers.

 

[mommytotwo]

Some exchanges should have arrived already.
If you have recieved your exchange, please post here.
If your pal has not yet recieved their exchange and you had gotten a delivery confirmation on your exchange, could you please check on it and let me know the status of it.

 

[UrsulasMyHero]

See Mike... and those new to Exchanges...

It's Kirby and Merriweather, and Mommytotwo's plan to get you hooked.. it's insidious, really. They get you hooked, you come back, you want to do these more and more. You crave doing them. your exchange packages get bigger and bigger. Soon, you've got a room full of things just set aside for exchanges. You pick something up for the next one, just because. Your partner looks at you with this strange glance wondering what's gotten into you, and you can only smile at them. You LOVE giving to people, and you love getting things back.

They've hooked you, I can see it in the way you type.. I know, I've been there. I'm waiting anxiously for the next one myself... anticipation... the longing. *grin*

But it sure is fun! *Grin* Glad to have all of you along for the ride!

These ladies do one heck of a job and i'm glad they take the time. I hope everyone's gearing up for a great Thanksgiving. And if you're going to be there for the taping of the Disney Christmas Parade, I'm going to be the Tall Red Head with long hair!

DITTO!! Well Said Dee.

We always get extra stuff for the future exchanges, even DH Mr. Shopping is boring

Dee, I am so excited to know that you are going to be in the Parade, I wish I could.
Please, please take lots of pics and I'll l buy them for you, or if you video tape some of the taping also, my kids would love to see how they do the parade.
Thanks
