Friends, I am not even going to pretend that I had the least little bit of patience when my package arrived from the Seriously awesome Shawn.
My impatience has gotten steadily worse with each swap I've participated in. I imagine the next swap will probably involve tackling the mail carrier, and facing involuntary battery charges. <---Totally just made that up. I don't even think there is such a thing! If there is, I plan to plead not guilty by reason of temporary insanity.
When I got home from the library today, my package was on my porch. Bug carried it in, and after he and Boo were securely tucked in for naps, I set to open it...
Everything was wrapped in tissue paper, and tied with ACTUAL RIBBON. It's possible that I am saving this, because I never have non curling ribbon in the house. What can I say? I'm working on my recyclin merit badge!
Each package had a little note explaining each item. I tried to take pictures of each item, AND note, but some are blurry, so I'll try to summarize her note, just in case you can't see through my photographic genius.
Bath and Body Works "Japanese Cherry Blossom" shower gel and lotion! I LOVE B&BW products, and this is a scent I haven't tried before. Smells SO good!
Peanut butter and honey. I've never actually had a peanut butter and honey sandwich, but it is apparently part of Shawn's nighttime routine to have half of a peanut butter and honey sandwich. I'll have to give it a try, and if I like it, I can GUARANTEE it wouldn't be just half a sandwich, and I also guarantee, that it wouldn't always wait until bedtime. Sounds like a splendid breakfast to me!
"Fresh honey wheat bread. Now I know the chances that this actually made it to you not smashed is pretty low, but I still wanted to include it. Paired with the peanut butter, honey, or Nuttella it can't be beat. Aren't you glad I chose not to send you a gallon of milk too?!"
That I am, Shawn, that I am. Pretty sure it wouldn't have smelled quite right after a trip from Florida to Texas!
She remembered my kids!!! Each of them had their own package, WITH their names on them. They were SO excited. You may notice that the pic of the tag did not include what was in them. That's because they disappeared immediately, with no time to pause for a picture. They can't wait for Halloween now, to use their "blinky things".
Here's one final shot of my haul (Minus the kids' gifts, of course! I'll probably have to pry them fom their sleeping hands tonight...) and Bug. He's such a ham...
Thanks so much, Shawn, for being an awesome swap partner! I loved my goodies, and will enjoy using all them (some of them in private).
A BIG thank you to Mamarazzi for hosting another amazing swap, and for setting me up with another friend for life! You rock!

Wow!!! She did great, you lucky girl! Nutella is OFF THE HOOK. I just recently tried it and it's SOOOO freakin' good!
And. Hello. Something for the kids. That is just straight to the momma's heart right there.
Looks like some great (and delicious) stuff! I love me some peanut butter and honey toast! Sooooooo good!
I'm glad you and the kids liked everything. As I look at it all spread out...dang I'm an eater! I feel like I jipped you sending 70% food! I'm telling ya, I could easily be 400 pounds, I love to eat!
The panties are an every day item, Sister! If you feel pretty underneath you'll exude pretty on the outside!
I had a great swap, thanks!
ha ha :) I got my swap partner undies too!
LOVE this package!!! Yay for awesome swap partners. I agree with Shawn... wear the panties on a regular basis not just for "special". ;)
We LOVE Nutella around here! I like to make Nutella s'mores for snacktime w/ my son. Get yourself some graham crackers and marshmallow fluff and try it out! ;-)
Hmmmm...I use left over party napkins in school lunches, but holiday ones would be awesome :) I may have to pick some up.
Mmmmmm...Nutella. I buy that stuff at Costco. :)
Yum! You have me seriously hungry right now. Nutella. Sigh! And I can't believe the bread wasn't squished. That's some stellar packing there!
I sent Nutella in my package too. I confess, it is one of my biggest guilty pleasures. I like it on animal crackers, vanilla wafers or graham crackers.
Love the Halloween blinkies too. I'm excited for Halloween - if it would just cool off some!
Now that just makes me hungry! Lucky you! I really might have to join up next time.
The comments about wearing the underwear everyday makes me laugh. oh how i love swaps!
lol @ the thongs!! i thought about sending some but wasn't sure;)
so is nutella good? i've heard it is!
I can speak from experience.....Shawn Rocks!
