To my wonderful swap buddy Kathy (ktfern):

Here is what she sent:

XS - A book of John Singer Sargent's portraits with a bookmark - this is fantastic!
S - 2 boxes of Honey Lemon Ginseng tea from Celestial Seasonings. I have never tried this flavor, but am looking forward to it.
M - A Boston Red Sox ornament. They are my favorite team and now I have another Boston ornament - wahooo!
L - A coffee travel mug with wolf paw prints. I needed a new one of these and this is so awesome.
XL - A Venice calendar! I had no idea such a think existed, but I LOVE it!

Extra - Some awesome warm red gloves - so nice!
Extra - Santa Socks...they are adorable and I'm always cold so these are great.
Extra - Dunkin $10 GC - Yay!!
Extra - A Christmas themed notepad for the fridge. Can never have too many of these.
Extra - A Travelon wallet that will be nice for times when I don't want to take my big purse. Awesome!
Extra - A book on sweeping - can't wait to read it!

She even sent a bag of treats and some toys for the kitty. That is so thoughtful - thank you! She will love them!

Sprinkled in the box were some Lindt truffles (yum!) and everything was so beautifully wrapped and presented. She also included some postcards from the Oregon Coast- they are so pretty!

I appreciate all the thought and time that clearly went into choosing my gifts. I love everything - thank you SO much!

Thank you so much - I hope you and yours have a wonderful Christmas season!


You are so welcome. I had fun shopping for you and even wanted to keep a few of the gifts for myself. In fact I did go buy some gloves like yours. They have special threads on some of the fingers so you can use your smart phone or tablet without taking your gloves off. I got a similar wallet too. They are designed so scammers can't read your credit cards through the wallet.

I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and you have a big WINNING 2017!!

Again, I have to thank klucid for another gift that arrived today! I received a triple pack of 3 different sized cookie sheet pans! They will be put to good use! Thank you Kathleen, you are amazing

Opened my gifts this morning from EE7251. Wow! So happy!

XL: Trivial Pursuit 2000s (this is so great! Dh and I love trivia and our kids grew up in the 90s and 2000s. This is the perfect game for us!)

Lg: A beautiful fairy statue (So pretty and will fit in perfectly with my collection.)

Med: Pop Culture trivia game (Did I mention we love trivia???? Perfect!!)

SM: Another beautiful fairy statue (I love it!!)

XS: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Uno card game (It didn't make it into the picture because I chose to open one gift Christmas Eve and that happened to be the one I chose. Perfect--we played it last night when my son came over).

Extras: A box of 50 colored pencils!! (Much better quality and so many more colors than came with the coloring book I bought for myself). A box of milk chocolates (so yummy. Two of the little bars are gone already!) A pretty star shaped box that came with a lovely scented lotion and body wash. This did not find it's way into the picture but was in the original picture with the wrapped gifts. Seattle Seahawks T-shirt. (Go hawks!!!)

Hopefully I did not forget anything. I loved everything and thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping to make my Christmas morning Merry! Wishing you a warm and happy Christmas too!

A box of hot chocolate (I love my hot chocolate!!0
