LOL Kerri, yeah well I have a motive, we are having a HUGE family get together next week so it was either get it done NOW or maybe NOT get it done. I have a friend coming in from Pennsylvania next week and then going to be busy with her and the family reunion all next weekend sooooo I wanted to get it done.

 

[pixiewings71]

Oh you're next few weeks sound like mine. LOL I have this weekend free but we wanted to go to the Monterey Bay Aquarium so maybe not....LOL Next weekend I'm busy, the weekend after is my BFF's wedding, the weekend after is our DL trip. So I'm guessing I need to get my house cleaned this week so I can go shopping this weekend. LOL

Have fun with your family and friend!

Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate,
The first one said,
"Oh my, it's getting late."
The second one said,
"But we don't care."
The third one said,
"There are witches in the air."
The fourth one said,
"Let's run, and run, and run."
The fifth one said,
"Get ready for some fun."
"Oooooooo" went the wind,
and out went the lights,
And the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight!
​

I had that stuck in my head from the Mickey sing along; Happy Haunting: Party at Disneyland. We have that on VHS. Got it when Adam was little! I guess I should look for it on DVD.
Hope the Halloween shopping is going well for everyone!

I want to decorate my apt for the fall season, not just Halloween so I'm hoping to find reasonably priced table cloths and maybe pillows for the living room sofas. It still feels like we're in a hotel suite with the white walls and the furniture being wood with blue fabric. The living room sofa has been here for six years and has yet to be broken in!

Hello Beth, I have mailed my child package today. I had an issue with the adult package's zip code due to my own dyslexia, so it will go out tomorrow.

I will report back when mine is in the mail!!


I saw a treasure trove of cool stuff today, after I sealed the boxes. Bummer.

I'm sitting at my dining room table and see the mail man coming to my door with a large box in his hands. Could it be my exchange gift already I think to myself. Yes it is !!! With all the fun of shopping I hadn't really thought about the fact I would would be getting goodies too !!! Thanks you so much Kelly. I got some great items. Towels - 2 of each, a skull baking pan, 3 really cute cookie cutters, 3 packs of gel window clings, a hanging bat, a really cool skull candle holder and a velvetine welcome sign. I love everything and can't wait to try out the skull pan and cookie cutters !!!

 

[kelmac284]

Yay! I'm glad you like everything! She said she liked skulls, skeleteons, bats and Ravens so that's why so much of that LOL! I hope you like it all and that is what you had in mind! I found everything but the ravens!

I am glad you like the candle holder I thought that was really cool as well as the wall hanging. Almost had to get myself one of those!

And I LOVED the baking stuff. In fact you had mentioned you didn't want any food items but I was REALLY tempted to get you the stuff that had that went with it. They had all these really cool decorations that had tomb stones and ghosts but since you said no I wasn't sure. But if you like that stuff they have it at target!! SUPER cute!! So you can make a cake and get the skeleton sprinkles to go on top!

So glad you like it! Enjoy!!

I'm so bummed out that I missed this one due to our move!! I had already picked up a cute reuseable Disney Halloween bag/tote back in August so I'd be ready to fill it for the exchange! Watch out Christmas....I'll be ready to go on that one.
Can't wait to hear about everyone's tricks & treats!!!!!

WOW, our first arrival!!! Very cool. I love that pan and those cookie cutters. My kids and I always bake Halloween cookies.
What is that first pic? Is that the candle holder? What ever it is, I LOVE it! My twins who are in my room saw it too and one said it was awesome and the other said it was cool. haha I've trained them well.

Yay! I'm glad you like everything! But if you like that stuff they have it at target!! SUPER cute!! So you can make a cake and get the skeleton sprinkles to go on top!

You did a nice job Kelly. I didn't see that at my Target. I'll have to go back and look again. (good excuse to go back, eh?)

Hey Laurie! I'm sorry you missed out. But you really had your hands full!!! I'm glad things are calmer for you now and the Christmas one will be fun too!

 

[kelmac284]

Yeah Beth that first pic is the candle holder! And for those that like to bake they had a whole section with the baking tins and besides the skull they had some other tins as well with I think a tombstone shaped cake and of course the cookie cutters. I was going to get her stuff to make cupcakes and then the sprinkles that went on top because they had these REALLY cool sprinkles sets that had like 3 types in one. Bats, ghosts and tombstones but she requested no food items so I thought I better not. But for those who like that stuff they have it, at least at mine anyway, and it was SO cute!!

 

[grumpyvet]

I took my adult exchange to the PO today. "Someone" had given me the wrong zip code!!!

And here Beth, I thought you were perfect. My illusions are shattered!!!

Can't wait to hear what my DD's and my receipients think of the packages!!!

Well, that candle holder is very cool.
And I will definitely be checking out the baking items!!

Oh please, I am FAR from perfect!! BUT when it comes to the exchanges, I simply copy and paste the addresses and other exchange info exactly as it was sent to me, and forward it in a PM to each person. I never retype anything, so if it's sent to me wrong, it gets forwarded wrong. Sorry!

 

[mommaU4]

TGIF exchangers!! Who's doing some exchange shopping this week-end??

I AM, I AM!!! I can't wait to get back to the stores and see what's been added since last weekend.

Have a great week-end everyone.

Shadows of a thousand years rise again unseen,
Voices whisper in the trees, "Tonight is Halloween!"

Well, looks like I have something in common with my exchangee....a wee bit of number transposition issue, or typing!!

Totally a nothing, but kinda funny. The zip should have 3, and it has a 2.

Note to self: proof read!!!

And, since the error was not yours, Beth, I will go back to believing in your perfection......whew!!!

 

[mommaU4]

me! me! me!

Have fun. Cute Halloween pic by the way.

And, since the error was not yours, Beth, I will go back to believing in your perfection......whew!!!

Ooooh, I wouldn't if I were you. I've been called many things and they've all been deserved at one point or another. lol But perfect isn't one of them.

 

[pixiewings71]

Oh that's a neat package!! Kelly where did you get the welcome sign? That is AWESOME!!!!!

I'm shopping this weekend, me me me!!! I can't wait!! Shopping for the exchange and for shoes and for DD9s dress for the wedding in 2 weeks.

I have a feeling I'll be trying out the Skull pan WAY before Halloween. Maybe this weekend ! I'll head over to Target for the sprinkles. I don't exactly consider sprinkles a food item. LOL I'm just trying to stay away from candy at least until Halloween !
Hey, has anyone seen the Twilight candy? I bought a bag and ate too many Jacob's. Ha Ha.

 

[kelmac284]

I know Trudi. I ALMOST got them for you but I figured I would stick to what you said. Didn't want to step on toes. You know how it goes. I SOOOO thought it would prob be ok but then I thought just my luck you would not like it for some weird reason so I figured better safe than sorry!

But I REALLY wanted to get them for you! I should have and just went for it LOL. But now you know about them so you can go get them! Have fun baking!! Show us the finished product!
