I received 5 favorite things from my swap buddy on yesterday, I posted the list in the orginal thread, sorry I did not notice this thread but I received

a beautiful tote bag

mini flashlight

Air wick warmer along with Magnolia cherry blossom refill

Nature's Intent Lavender Vanilla body lotion

3 wonderful books

Each item had a personal note explaining why it was a favorite

Thanks Nanajoyer (Janice) she did a wonderful job the tote bag is so pretty, looks like I have my new summer beach reading bag. :)

[hawkshoe]

I got my package last night and just had the opportunity to open it. Here is what I got:

1. A whole Foods Bag - I don't have one of these markets near me yet, but I think there is one schedule to be opening soon so I will have to check it out.

2. Yankee Candle Air Freshener and a Car Freshener - I will have the best smelling closet and car around :)

3. Yankee Candle all purpose wipes - I have never even heard of these. Guess my kitchen will smell good to :)

4. Suave Shampoo and Conditioner - In a nice coconut scent. Will be great for Summer. I love the smell of coconut in the summer.

5. Index Card Binder - This I will probably give to my son to use for his school work., or I might use it to keep track of my work clients, yeah, that's a better idea ;).

6. Jill Post it Set - I use post it's alot and these a pretty with inspirational sayings on them.

7. Febreeze Scent Stories Disc - I have a machine in my room that I haven't used in a while. Now I have a reason to use it again.

8. Starbuscks Note Cards - Very pretty. I have a few people that I have been meaning to write to. These will be very nice for that purpose.

9. Ferrero Prestige Chocolates - I have tried some of these before, but not all. I look forward to eating these :)

10. Ecological Stain Remover - with two kids and a husband, I can really use this...lol.

11. Philosophy Powdered Sugar Cookie Shampoo/ShowerGel/Bubble Bath - This would have come in handy on my recent trip. I am going to save this for the next time I go away on vacation so I don't have to bring as many products with me.

13. Burts Bees Lip Gloss - I have a stick one of these and love it. I can't wait to try this new one.

12. Last, but not least (and I think my favorite) Starbucks "Create Your Very Own Tumbler". You get to put pictures and stuff on it to customize it. I am planning to embelish it with pictures of my recent trip with my best friend.

What a great Swap Box! I am really looking forward to using all these things. I am glad that there were so many things I have never tried before. She included a nice note telling why they were her favorites (3 pages that were attached by the coolest circular paper clip I have ever seen - you have to tell me where you got them)

THANK YOU LISSIE!

[ResourcePress]

Just got my favorite things swap package which is really a pampering package! Thanks htg20!

I'm picturing me in some real diva moments with my favorite things package. I'm going to put on that Beyond Paradise perfume, shave my legs with the Schick Quattro, then do my toenails with the luscious red polish, moisturize my feet and hands with the Gold Bond, and then read Spontaneous Healing while I nibble on my Dove chocolate truffles.

Before bed, I'll brush my hair with 100 strokes and keep my toes warm with the peds.

I really love that color red for the naul polish. It is so hard to find just the right color red.

Fun swap!

[htg20]

Recieved my boxes from luckysll and ResourcePress today! (Thanks guys!) I will post more later. I'm busy going to a b-day party, planning one and setting up a bunch of new furniture! Also, if you have pm'ed me with a question or problem I will be getting back to you asap.

You liked it! You liked it! :) I'm so glad.....
Oh and the 3 plaid dish towels, I made last Christmas, and when my daughter was trying to help me pack the box nice and cozy.... she came up with that idea as "stuffing"!!! :)
I really wanted you to have The Shop on Blossom Street (that is what I ordered along with A Good Yarn) but they messed up - but since you like her too - her next book (Return to Blossom Street) is coming out in May of this year - I think!!! lolol

Sorry I didn't make the 28th deadline - but hope it was worth the wait.... and thank you for being such a great and enthusiastic sport!
It felt good to do something fun for someone else .... it made me smile! :)

I received my swap box from Hudson9610 today.

She and I have similar tastes.

She sent me/us:

Moonlight Path Shower gel-My second favorite scent

Moonlight Path body splash

Dice-I actually lost some for a board game and I was looking for these

Mardi Gras beads-my niece will more than likely claim these because she is in her Princess phase

Cadbury Mini Chocolate Eggs- My son has already opened the bag

Air Wick Scented oil in Vanilla-Smells great

A pen-I can never have enough-atleast I know my hubby will not take this one to work

and

A Peony Candle-smells great, can't wait to light.

Thank you very much, we loved the box of goodies.

[mrstrooper]

I got my package on Monday and finally have time to post. My package was from mamma7 and she did a little stalking.

1. Mr. Clean Eraser. I use these in the bathroom and find them to be a wonderful product.
2. America's Top Recipes magazine from allrecipes.com which is one of my favorite recipe websites. Cookbooks, cooking magazines, cooking shows...my weakness!
3. Betty Crocker Cookies, Bars and Cakes magazine. I love to bake...going to try something from this magazine this weekend.
4. Wilton decorating tips, couplers and bags. I have tried in the past but am such a perfectionist that I sometimes get frustrated. I have done a few simple projects that I'm been proud. These will definitely be put to use when young children and bake sales.
5. A 1000 piece Cats in the Garden puzzle. My family loves puzzles. We had to put our cat to sleep last year and we just in the last month have started talking about getting another cat. Hubby is against it but the kids and I will probably win.
6. Three (butterfly on a flower, a lizard and a fairy) ornaments for a vase or clay pot. My daughter loves the lizard and the fairy. I will have to get some plants this spring so I can put these beautiful ornaments out for display.

I love all of mamma7's favorite things. This was a fun swap! Thanks mamma7.

Hooray! I received my box of goodies from AltusBecky. (I actually received it yesterday, but did not have time to post).

She sent a:

-Wonderful set of Coconut Lime Bath and Body Works items; shower gel, body splash, and lotion

-Uncle John's Curiously Compelling Bathroom Reader (which my SO will love)

-a box of Earl Grey tea (which will come in handy since I have been sick)

-two magnets, one a Russian nesting doll and the other a beer magnet

-An International Food Suisse Mocha (I love mocha)

Thanks so much for everything! I really enjoyed opening my box.

Not only have I not gotten a package but my buddy never received her package (or at least, didn't post)! When I check the number, it's last statement is that it is "in transit" from March 1st in Jersey City!

WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM? Some postal worker is probably eating all the cookies he/she can enjoy!

I think I now know why it was delayed..... it came in a a bag cause it was leaking something!!!
YUP Cappachino from your neck of the woods to mine... instead of bread crumbs.... lololol the envelopes got punctured some how!! lolololol

Thank you so very very much!
Spring Soap & Mocha Capp are actually not a bad scent when blended together!! :)

I can't use the can of air spray yet - (we tried but I think due to the excessive cold - it kind of comes out like a fountain of foam - but SMELLS DIVINE!!!) LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT- and want more of it - already told my daughter to place an order for it at Target (she is one of the market sponsors there!!)

LOVED the shower poof too - with 3 teenage daughters in this house mine always goes missing!!!

My 2 sons begged for the candy bars - it's their favorite too!!! BINGO!!

i LOVED the cherry lip balm - I am a lip balm kind of girl myself and with the crazy weather we've had can't get enough (that and my lotions!!) :)

THANK YOU THANK YOU for the manicure set too - Um again, 3 teenage daughters - my stuff just never finds its way back to me!! Got your set under lock and key!! *giggles*

As for the Mocha Cappucino - not much of it was left by the time it got here *giggles* but dontcha know I have a box of it here and it is one of my favorites too!!! So I had a cup to celebrate your box arrival!!

Your the best and I also loved that you shared some of your other favorite things via PM when we thought the box was lost for good!!

(((((((((((((((((((((((((swap hugs))))))))))))))))))) to you!!

Is there anything that can be done about the missing boxes? Why does the delievery confirmation just stop?

Just an update. I never received a package from my swap buddy. She did receive a large sum of money as she posted in the HOF. I guess I just want to vent my feelings. This was my first swap. Don't sign up for a swap if you don't want to send a package!!

I am so sorry to hear that you did not receive your package.
It is very sad to know that some people just signs up, but doesn't complete their end of the swap.

Wish you lots of luck, and I hope many wins come your way!
