I got the rest of my stuff for my secret pal this weekend and will be sending it out towards this next weekend! I'm totally excited! I went to the local Christian bookstore and found some really cute items!
Yes, that is when they are the best Jen, but there also good just melted in the mircowave too. HMMMMMMM GOOD.
I love'em when they are so fresh that they squeek when you chew them. Hubby's mom works for a cheese factory and she gets the best fresh cheese ever! Yummy. Ok, now I'm hungry for cheese curds!!!
What are squeeky cheese curds??? Do they really squeek or are you joking? I never heard of food that squeeks when you bite it. I think I would be scared to eat something that squeeks. My fear would be that it's still alive or something. Patty
That is funny, Patty! I tried posting behind Amy this morning saying eeeww! but I accidentaly pushed new posts instead of post! I mailed my box off today!! Someone, somewhere keep an eye out for a box that is supposed to take no more than 8 days to get there. That is it for hints!! BTW, if someone receives a box with a baggie of small gifts, it is a child bag. I boxed it in such a hurry this morning that I don't know if I remembered to note that on the bag.
Ok...I will tell you now...I wanted to wait a few days, until others had gotten theirs....but this is good enough!!! It was KRIS!! Thanks Kris, so much...I (we) loved everything!!!
Well my pal's package arrived! I am excited but have NOT opened it yet, I am so worn out from teaching today! WOW! I am glad I home school normally because these kids tried every trik in the book to get out of doing work! ITs a whole group of kids doing SOS, so its like home schooling 30 kids or so? Jr-Sr high! I need help with Math for Algerbra2 ?
oooooooooo k, I willlllllllllllllll...... HOW cool! My Secret pall is soo cool! First the kids love what they have, ds15 thumbled through the book already and was asking me questions about it. They all say thank you to my pal! ds9 is playing with his at the moment! I forget am I supposed to say what it is? ( innocent face) okay I checked back a few and some people said what they got! Wee hoo! I got a CUTE ADORABLE Snowman! I was wanting a snowman this year for my Christmas stuff! It is for putting a candle in it, I forget what you call that kind of a candle holder, but I also recieved a frame with my favorite and most quoted Bible verse on it! It is in the exact colors my kitchen is so I am going to hang it on the wall in there! How cool how cool! I also got Candles two votives to go with the snowman, I think they are cinnamon? Its going to smell like pies around here! Hubby made apple cider yesterday for our Home group thanksgiving, and it was smelling just like apple pie! YUM< now I can keep the smell! thank you thank you thank you! oh, dd loves word things too so that was perfect! thanks agaiN~! I wont say who it is untill more people get thiers! I am wondering now , because my pal said she mailed mine about the same time I mailed my pals! Someone is going to get something soon! YEEEE AAAAAHHHH this is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo fun! Can we do it again and again???? hehehe what fun! My oldest said we had to wait to open them till Christmas but I said NO I have to open them nowwwwwwwww, heheh! Weee!
Oh, I have to tell you I just got run over by the car my ds9 got to build it himself he said " THIS IS SO TIGHT!" inc ase you did not know.. tight is cool!
WOW! How can people who have never met, bless each other sooo much?! Dd & I returned this afternoon from a Moms 'n daughters homeschool sleepover, which was totally fun. We were geared pretty high anyway, & then the kids ran to the road to get the mail & brought in the package, claiming they had every right to open it, since it had "And Family" written on it. Well, I thought I'd maximize the opportunity & said to wait until after we got some unpacking done, though my own anticipation was hard to contain. We WHIPPED through several jobs, & then ds asked if we each could guess what it contained, before opening it. The twins guessed: something to eat, like tea or chocolate. I guessed a scripture picture or a book. LESLIE!!! Wow! I am nearly speechless! They said, "I knew it! That's for us!" Popcorn & herbal teas--cinnamon-apple, peach, & raspberry! Thank you! They are tea connoisseurs! I just sat there looking at the beautiful "Faith, Hope, & Love" plaque & the most exquisite cross ornament I have ever seen! It has a magnet on the back, so I can position it at several places in the kitchen after the tree comes down. I will enjoy using the Psalm 23 note pad & the "Handle with Prayer" book mark. And then I started reading in the book, The Hymns We Love, by Daniel Partner. The first one I turned to was "Amazing Grace," by John Newton, who "once an infidel & libertine, a servant of slaves in Africa, was, by the rich mercy of our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ, restored, pardoned, & appointed to preach the Gospel which he had long labored to destroy..." I had been holding John Newton's example up to the Lord recently, reminding Him that if He could do mighty things in that man's life, then surely He can redeem our beloved prodigal, too! The book is very meaningful to me, & I thank you for all of these perfect gifts from the bottom of my heart!!! I want to share one more treasure from the book with the other Christimas pals here. The poem doesn't list who wrote it, but it is on p. 37 of the above-mentioned book, in case anyone wants to quote it. The last verse is: The earth will soon dissolve like snow, And the sun refuse to shine. But I worship you because I know you are forever mine.
Oh good! I am so excited! I wanted to do something else for your kids, but I just didn't know what. Since my kids are younger I really am not in touch with the likes of older kids! But I am glad they liked the popcorn and teas. And I am thrilled that you liked your things! Hugs to you!
oh , I forgot I got a book mark too! I did not look at it right away as the kids piled into opening thier things too, ITs wonderful! Peace in the Midst of Chaos was perfect for my day! Thank you! I also love yoru favorite tests secret pal! Can I say who you are? What do you think? I want some people to keep guessing who they got, so lets see how many of us have already recieved and who still has thiers coming... if you recieved yoru box already say I GOT IT! on this thread so we can count...
Leslie I am glad you all enjoyed the box. I really didn't know what to do. But, if we do it again I have some good ideas of what to do. This has been so much fun. I hope you enjoy everything.
Okay... My Christmas Pal wassssssssssssss , is? HEhe, Deena! YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa she was so perfect in her choices! I hope the person I sent MINE to likes hers half as much as I do mine it was so fun! Thank yOU Deena!
