Holiday Kitchen Exchange sent/received thread...COMPLETED!!

[Meriweather]

Love the delivery service...that's the fastest we have had

Well, there should be another delivery too

I have the kiss the cook s'more sitting on my kitchen counter.

I have the kiss the cook s'more sitting on my kitchen counter.

Mine will be on my over-the-sink shelf before and after Cmas!

That was very creative Carrie.
I have my Smores ornaments ready for the Christmas tree.

 

[Nite0wl71]

Well I am glad you liked everything

Yes I thought of Kelly when I added the fun pads and Advent calander. We get one every year and the kids always took turns. Stacey is so excited this year she gets to open every one since she is the last one at home.

I got the Cubs ornament at the Lincolnwood Town Center Mall on Touhy. It is in the American Greeting store, it was on the bottom of the front counter towards the side. They had alot left and they also had Green Bay Packers(a ton) and about 3 Bears. I bought one of the Bears for DH.

That was a wonderful delivery service and fast, but I thought that was why we had kids, to do things like that for us. and since the price was right for delivery I got to add a few extra things and one that I could never have mailed.

Well I am going to go to bed now, have to be up by 5 am for work. Enjoy everything after all it is the holidays

Well when I did mapquest I found out Kim only lives about 6 1/2 miles from me. It didn't seem right to mail it (they get enough of my money) when I could add extras.

That's the first time I have seen the Smores ornaments, they had so many.

You are a smart DISer.
I have 4 new ornaments coming in the mail for me. And I have still yet to see Smores ornaments being sold here .

 

[Meriweather]

Which ones are coming Patsy.....what do you have.
We have been getting them for years. First one when it was just the plain marshmallow guy sitting on the chocolate and graham cracker.

It's the sports ornaments.

 

[Meriweather]

Those are ones that I skipped

I love the cooking related ones.....got an elf one for DH this year. He is holding a tool box and hammer.

OMGOSH, I/WE DID!

Kelly isn't the last, but 17yo DS will probably take no interest, altho Kelly will make the offer. He leaves everyday before we get up sometimes, and Kelly needs to DO those calendars every morning!

THANK YOU! That is really close to me! I hate to say that besides the CUBS , I'll also be buying a GBP ornament, for my mom , she'll love it, but for me, it's like buying Sox stuff - which I have, and will, for my nephew, but I CRINGE, ok?

That was a wonderful delivery service and fast, but I thought that was why we had kids, to do things like that for us. and since the price was right for delivery I got to add a few extra things and one that I could never have mailed.

ROFLOL and for our kids, and your DD Amy in particular tonight!

Thanks again!

I would usually pass it up, but it was at a great price and we can't get Smores ornaments here, so I am trying to get what I can.

 

[2sweetangels]

LOL Kim, you are very welcome, it was my pleasure to be my mom's delivery girl. We thought it would have been a nice surprise for you.

 

[KimRaye]

No, I'm not done yet!

How embarrassing! I DID forget some things! :smacking my head:

There was also 3 cookie cutters, Cmas shapes, that I have NONE of, seriously, and DD went gaga over these. I put them in some water in the sink right away, to remove the tags. See, I use regular, everyday cookie cutters to sometimes make 'special' sandwiches for her, so the Cmas cutters were I-DEAL!!! She wants 'special' sandwiches all 3 days next week! Thanks again!

 

[KimRaye]

Oh Amy, it WAS really nice! I was just so shocked, and taken off guard. I'm so sorry I didn't ask you in, offer you something, whatever. Like I posted, Kelly & I had just started eating dinner, and I was just so SURPRISED! It was so nice to see you again, but I apologize for being so brief at the door.

 

[PixieDust32]

Nice gift KIM!

MY DS you non-YC in the Stocking too ...Hope you can burn them too.

 

[KimRaye]

Oh yes, they're right here, in the 'cue' to be lit next. I use ANY and ALL votives down here by the 'puter, to kinda help 'light' my desk at these late hours. And, if they're scented, which they all are, that's even better! I LOVE them all! Saves me money!

Glad it arrived (nothing broken??). Hope you enjoy it all. I wanted to send some more things, but those dang boxes are a tad too small
Enjoy it all and Happy Holidays!!

Did I do it wrong?

Sorry, it was my first exhange. I didn't put in my DIS name 'cuz I thought it was like a secret santa thing. And I only sent one thing, I didn't realize people would make up boxes of lots and lots of items.

Next time I will do better!

It sounds like you did fine. One thing or 10 things, it's all in the spirit of the giving. Just remember to watch for when your gift shows up, because someone will want to know who to thank. Exchanges are alot of fun, I hope to see you in more!
