How many of the cones do you want? They won't weigh much but give me an idea of the size box as in Priority Mail boxes: Small, Medium and Large. I'll get them off to you.

OH, and do you want the opened or unopened ones? Or some of each?

Sherri, I don't know about your temps there.. but here it gets up to high forties some mid fifties right now, ground is not frozen, and we are due for rain soon. It has been down into the teens, but was told you can plant bulbs as long as there are more days above freezing than there are below.

hope this helps///

Wow! Santa came and her name was susan! Thnks so much. Now if I can get this pic to load...

wow! you guys have had some sweet smelling , boxes stuffed with all kinds of wonderfuls sips and sweets and stuff!

Susan, you really stuffed that box! Nice job!

Nice box, Crystal. Great job, Fruity!

I'm still stuffing myself on those delicious kumquats. Sure beats the little hard sour ones I buy in the grocery. ;-)

Glad you like, C'ville.
I keep some in a dish on the counter and nibble several time/day.

What a rain! Everything around here is floating. Yard is like a swamp. Little over 3 inches last few days.

Oh deejay ..... how exciting for you. A box for daddy and one for you. Such great smelling stuff Michelle sent you. Wish we had scentaDG so we could get of whiff of what everyone gets!

Love the snoopy socks, they remind me of the ones I got! ^_^

I too like BIG mugs and that one is so pretty! You will have to tell us all about that Hot Cocoa. I bet it is heavenly!!!!!

Great job Michelle!!!!!!

What a wonderful box Crystal! Our Ms. Fruitiness has done it again! ^_^ I love raspberry and chocolate. You have to let us know how those are! All your 'purple' stuff makes me jealous ... even a purple coffee mug! How awesome!

Please explain to me what copper ion socks are? Never heard of them.

GREAT box of Socks, Sniffs and Sips! Good job Fruity!

My box left today, hopefully the post office will be kind and it will arrive gently...lol. Have a great day!!

My box went out today as well!!!! :) hope it gets there ok. Awesome boxes ladies loooove the sock monkey! Doh! Why didn't i think of that?! ;)

^_^

Copper ion socks help keep foot odor down. Have not tried yet, but it sounds like a good idea.
Remember "odor-eaters"?

According to the tracking my box has landed, sort of. A notice has been left. Fingers Crossed!

So glad you're enjoying your goodies, Crystal! You'd mentioned liking lavender scents and Hyacinths, couldn't find either, so I went with a purple theme. I shop sales year-round for swaps or gifts and just added a few fresh goodies like the chocolates and coffee. And I'm glad you're a coffee drinker, just sorta winged it from your list.

Copper ions inhibit the growth of bacterial odor and are supposed to wick moisture away helping to keep feet dry. The ions also don't wash out in the laundry. My husband used to wear a man's brand of these socks when he was working and had to wear steel-toe boots year round. My feet sweat year-round and bought myself a pack of these a while ago. Even in a house with hardly any humidity, my feet feel softer.

I have to say the MB powder is oh so nice... ;D

I wasn't home today when my box got here. I have to wait until tomorrow for them to bring it back. I stomped my foot and through a tantram. Oh well, I'll live. I finish shopping and packing my buddys box and hope to mail it by the end of the week. Things have been so crazy here. Sorry to my buddy.

Hi, all.
Oh, Robyn, how frustrating! Hope you receive your box tomorrow (Wednesday)!
Linda (tatters55), thank you so much for everything! I received my box yesterday (Monday) afternoon, but had to wait for my husband to get home to help me ID some things. Thought I'd post earlier today, but didn't quite happen... Anyway, here's what Linda sent me:
Celestial Seasonings teas: "Peppermint" "Wild Berry Zinger" and "Bengal Spice" (says it's a caffine-free chai).
Hershey's Bliss "White Chocolate Hot Drink Mix".
A bag of Hershey's Reese's, Hershey's Milk Chocolate, and Hershey's Special Dark hearts.
A heart-shaped box of Elmer Chocolate.
Dr. Scholl's Spa Collection Socks (2 pairs of fuzzy socks with rubberized soles; one pair is pastel green and one pair is pastel purple).
Dearfoams slippers (black, each with a bow).
2 packages of tea lights (fresh linen scent).
Cinnamon spice cake candle in a miniature cast iron skillet. 6-inch diameter glass candle holder dish (looks like a plate) to hold pillar candles.
Metal scent stand: the bottom part holds a tea light that heats scented wax melts that you put in the top part.
Plus scented wax melts to go with it: 4-pack of orange, 4-pack of melon, 4-pack of cotton breeze, 3-pack of vanilla, and 3-pack of apple cinnamon.
Hand-crafted ceramic mug (beige color on inside and on bottom-half of outside, and top-half of outside is brown with a scroll-work pattern).
And, a blue travel mug!
My husband still needs to take a picture for me. Hoping he can take one soon so I can post it. Couldn't quite wait... had to try those Hershey's chocolate hearts :) What a yummy snack!
Michelle

OK, now I have posted twice with both disappearing. AARGGH!!!!!! I received a wonderful box with many turquoise goodies from Sharon.
a turquoise bath towel along with a turq & yellow hand knit washcloth,, tin of divine luxury wafers w/ hazelnut creme filling, Lindt Intense Orange filled dark chocolate bar.Anna's delicate Swedish ginger thin cookies, Ghirardelli dark & mint chocolate squares, Bag of Flops white fudge covered pretzels.Lipton iced tea to go (in turquoise box), Turq Aladdin travel mug, great to drink the Seattle's best level 4 coffee (in turq. bag!) + turq. box of Puffs w/ lotion. Also my generous Buddy included two fragrant glass covered candles- one in cranberry-mandarin & 1 is peach-mango.
I am overwhelmed with her fruity generosity & eyes are dripping. The Feb/march issue of Birds and Blooms (now how could she know that my subscription just expired?)! And a word search book + wonderful Burt Bees tips and tows kit. I also received a hot pink pair of soft fuzzy socks w/ rubber dots on soles to prevent slipping and 2 pr of Dr Scholls copper defense ion socks.

I can't tell when I last received a gift or surprise box, and am at a loss for words.

Thank you so very much, Susan for the lovely gifts. Am still under the curse of the bug so many of these things will be especially handy now.

right now I feel very warm & cuddly inside.
Love & hugs to my DG Buddy,
Sheri/ BirdieBlue

wow nice boxes!!!!!

mine should be there today

Birdie, sounds like you got a nice box of goodies too! Pictures please?
Michelle, hope you enjoy the teas, chocolates and candles?

Birdie, hope you feel better soon, that box should help! Flops? What a cool name, here we just have "White Chocolate Pretzels". I will need to expand my looking, I am a sucker for cool names.

We are getting drowned here this morning, raining so hard I can't get outside for chores. And under a tornado watch/warning. Evan is getting hail at school, Houston proper has a bunch of power outages and they won't get this storm for a couple hours yet. I am going to get my rain gear on, hope it hasn't dry rotted (VBG), and go check for newborn lambs. Don't need to drown any.

Later,

Joy

WONDERFUL goodies Michelle!!!!!!!!!! Yummy eats and sniffs. Lots of good chocolate stuff! (We keep the chocolate makers in business. lol) I am going to have to try some of the deerfoam slippers one of these days. I like the full shoe slipper. LK does a great job of packing a box, doesn't she????? Can't wait to see the picture!

Yes Sheri .... looks like our own Ms. Fruitiness has 'done it again' with a wonderful swap box. Several things have my mouth watering! The dk choc and orange and the dk choc mint sound wonderbah. I am going to have to get my DH some of those ion socks, they sound terrific. Love all the turquoise stuff and travel mugs. Turquoise is my 2nd favorite color after purple! ^_^ (Just a hint, when I am typing a long post, I occasionally highlight and copy what I have typed so if it disappears, I can just paste it back and not have to type it all over again. Works for me) Waiting with baited breath for pictures!

Oh, did I forget to tell you girls part of this swap is to send a sample of all your goodies to the hostess to be sure they meet inspection/guidelines?????? ^_^ J/K of course, but wish I wasn't!/i>

Joy, you be careful out there checking for lambs in that weather. Keep in touch so we all know you are OK. Hope all the little lambie-pies are ok, too.
