A Big Thank You to my ss Peekaboo ....the gifts were great !! and to my oe RBWilliams ...your gift will be on my tree for many years to come !! I had so much fun participating in this and I am already looking forward to next year !

the next few days are going to be kind of hectic for me also so .......participating in this has been one of the highlights of the season for me ...so thank you so much Eve for doing this and a huge "THANK YOU" to my oe and ss !! they both done a tremendous job of reading me so well with only my list to go by !! I would like to wish everyone who took part in the exchanges a "Very Merry Christmas" !! I wish you all well and enjoy the holidays with family and friends !!

got my ss package today !! inside was a very plush cozy christmas throw (which I LOVE) , a cinnamon candle (my house is going to smell wonderful) and ....DOVE CHOCOLATE BARS (my all time favorite candy) !! Thank you so much for the gifts ...you couldn't have picked anything else that I would have enjoyed more ! the down side is ...between my ss and oe I have enough dove chocolate to gain approx. 5 extra pounds !! lol but I am no complaining ...I will work it off AFTER Christmas ! thank you both for the amazing packages ....I will post a pic of my ss things later this evening or tomorrow !! love both packages !! ...now I am just waiting to see what the receivers of my packages thought !

posted a smaller pic earlier of my ornament package....here is a larger pic of it ! thanks to eve I figured out how to post a picture from my computer !

Trying

I don't use photobucket or any other on line photo sites ...is there anyway to post a picture of my packages ?! I just got my oe package and was so touched and excited by the contents that I would really like to share a picture !! In my package I got ....a bag of Dove chocolate (my all time favorite candy) , a cinnamon scent candle (favorite candle scent) , but what was the most touching / perfect item was my ornament....it is a picture frame ornament with my name, husbands, kids and grandkids in the background ..it also has "gottadeal family" on the bottom with the year !!! ABSOLUTELY PERFECT !! Thank you so much to my OE person !!! I will try taking a picture from my phone and try to post !!

the movie / game basket is a great family gift idea .....throw in a couple of movies , a family game, popcorn, maybe some candy, and the blanket for the baby idea is a wonderful idea also !!

I have a pair of bearpaw boots that my dh bought me last year for Christmas and I love them !! they are very comfy and extremely warm ! I would recommend them to anyone !

both oe and ss package sent ....Eve sent you DC#'s via email !!

both ss and oe is boxed and will mail tomorrow !!

the snowman ornament is just too cute !! hoping to mail both OE and SS packages tomorrow ! I will meet the deadline !

as far as the book thing goes ....I love to read and have bought many books used at yard sales, flea markets , second hand stores, etc.....so as long as they are in good readable condition I wouldn't see a problem with it .....just think instead of getting on book from a book store for $7 to $? you could get several "new to you" books for that !! and I also agree with speeddiva about the cd's ...there are several new artist cd's I would like to have for my car they are expensive and I just don't buy them for myself but personally they would make a good gift for someone if they do use their car cd player ! hoping to finish up and ship by wed. !!

DITTO !!

so far on line .....got the disney toddler princess doll and dress from target (which sold out quickly online) reg. 34.99 got it for 19.99 and free shipping -already got a shipped notice also from them, got three marshmallow shooters from kohl's saved 20% (which basically was shipping cost) , and 2 hollister shirts got 40% off and $5.00 flat shipping rate ! so far so good on good deals !

here goes : amazon gift cards to buy books for my kindle mall gift cards (I need clothes and like to pick them out myself) maybe a new cd for my car ....never buy them ....love adele ! a iphone 4gs ! lol I usually don't buy a lot for myself and sitting here thinking about what I would like to have is kind of hard ! I think of something and then think "I don't really need that" or "that cost way to much" lol

Got my names !! yea.....time to start planning and shopping ! .....I did notice when I got my reply of the email I sent , my list and info that I did not put my name on my address ! lol so if who ever has mine needs my mailing name please have eve let me know ! love doing this !
