Monday Mailday

Every month over at the Freckled Nest Design Team Blog, we do a swap!... For September, my friend Stefani, aka "Brown Suga" and I have each other :) Monday morning, a knock at the door! THIS HEAVY PACKAGE was hanging from the mailbox by 2 elastics! I yelled Thank-You to the mailman as if it was a gift from him. Lol. Then I ran inside, told my sister I'd call her back, grabbed the camera and let her rip (the box!) ;) My patience is poor at best in surprise situations. But I did take time to note and smile at the two friends birds on the front, and that this Mother of a Package was $22.50 to ship. What'd she mail?!?!? ROCKS?! lol... Anyways, here was my first swap adventure! Yeeeeeeee!! Stefani excelled at finding the coolest bird things!! I love this old wood bird stamp and pyrex bowl! It's going to be my new Greek Salad Bowl ;) "I love a good bowl" You can't go wrong with buttons! These are awesome! AWESOME! Texas Shaped Peanut Brittle...lol. Oh Stef, you make me laugh :) A nest Stefani's sons found, with 3 glass eggs :) These are fun! Strawberry and Jalepeno preserves. I'm afraid of this ;) and Blue Yonder HOME MADE SALSA!!! Jerry: "Do you know why Salsa is the number one condomint in the world?" George: "No...why?" Jerry: "Because people like to say SALSA" Stefani made this :)!! It's my favorite thing :) Also, - A vintage embroidered pillowcase! I'm saving this for future daughter :) - A robin stuffed toy that chirps. Lola and Penny get real *frisky* when it chirps! - Cool notions! (Funk Ribbon, heart with wings patch, BUTTONS and a kit to MAKE MY OWN buttons!!!) - Vintage flash cards, Begin, Fly, Him, Her (SO COOL!) STEFANI!!!! This was SO COOL!!! I love the things you choose! They were SO ME! THANK-YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!! Can't wait for you to get yours! Guess I should mail it in order for that to happen, lol. LA :)
