Just picked up my package and it's from my OE pal! A set of 3 photo frame ornaments in the shape of cookies - gingerbread boy and girl and Christmas tree! Just looking at them is making me hungry! :gdlicklips: And it came wrapped in paper with candy canes printed on it... I LOVE these ornaments! Thank you so much!

 

Now I just need to find a place to display them seeing how I don't have a tree...

I think a package arrived for me. Not sure if it is from the Holiday exchange. DH picked it up and has it in his car:( Wont see it until during the week when he gets home. If it s from either the SS or OE Thanks. Will post pictures once I get it.

I received my SS gift Thursday and my OE gift Friday, what a great start to the weekend!! :) My SS gave me 2 pairs of xmas socks, a box of yummy chocolates, bath n body works lotion and soaps, Taylor Swift Journey to Fearless dvd and 2012 calendar. I absolutely love Taylor Swift and am so glad I got the new calendar as I had just been thinking about how I'll have to take my current one down soon. My SS also included a gift bag for my DD (and even spelled her name right, something my own family can't seem to do) with some glittery perfume and lotions. I don't know how you knew she loves glitter, but she was one happy teenager! ;) (and is covered in glitter right now as she gets ready for work lol)

 

My OE sent me not one, but two beautiful ornaments. I got a glittery snowman holding snowflakes and a jinglebell wreath. Both are hanging proudly on my tree :)

 

Thank you both so much!!!

 

I'm trying to add pics but I'm not sure if it's working. If not I will upload them once I can get on the computer. (I'm using the handy dandy GD app to post this lol)

Haha. My ss sent her treats. As anyone may be able to tell from the pics, she loves treats and was so excited that she got something too.

Prediction: My SS box will arrive tomorrow. It will arrive before I get home from volunteering at school (Secret Santa Shop, how ironic), meaning I have to either chase down the postman or run to the office before it closes. It happens without fail. ;)

I received my OE and SS today!!! My SS was my angel today. I was craving hot chocolate this morning and my dd9 said sorry mom I used the last packet and then a little while later the mailman dropped off my package. It had hot cocoa mixes, a mug, candy bars (my favorite), chocolate covered marshamallows, candle melts, and a drink mixer. :)

The mailman also delivered the CUTEST ornaments from my OE. I got a pink and silver starburst/snowflake, a pink pair of high heels, and a pink present with a silver bow. They are adorable!!

My ornament arrived today. I will have to get pics tonight when I have more time. I was shocked it was from my OE person because the return address was from a town my DH and I went to last weekend to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. I thought maybe we forgot something at the hotel and they mailed it. lol What a nice suprise to have it be a gift!

Sent you my DC numbers Eve. Was planning to go to the Post Office on Sat ( I know, nothing like waiting til the last minute. lol) But ended up having to work. So they both went out today. I also received my Ornament today, but unfortunately it was broken when I opened it. :( Looks like it was a nice glass bulb filled with snow. Also received two boxes of candy.
