Kat's right, that IS a great box, gals! But....I'm envious over the Amaryllis! :O) I've been eyeballing them for a few weeks now. I found a gorgeous striped one, and a double red that I am hankering for. Just haven't gotten around to buying any plants for myself lately, it's all going for the swaps & Christmas gifts! LOL Kat, just what DID you put in Dan's box to make you so excited??? You've got ME excited, now! Well, with you, I KNOW it will be something awesome. You ALWAYS pack a great box! :O)

AM, I also smiled at the thought of you driving around, peeling tape off the box at the red lights. (grin) That pottery is lovely and the book looks very interesting, Mediterranean cooking is supposed to be very, very healthy. I don't have a scale and never have had one, now you'll probably be posting how useful it is and I'll think I need one! Take care of little Lucy, hug her for me. Hugs to you too. Annie

Maggie I'LL tell you about me and frogs. During a swap, our little Miss Cheater Pants, aka JESSY, got my name. I was a little new to the group so Jessy researched my name here on the forum and she found some old posts over on the Reptile/Amphibian Forum, I had posted asking for help in getting rid of all the frogs that were all over our porch. They were pooping everywhere and peeing everywhere and it was just horrible!!!! So Jessy took off with this frog idea and she sent me the funniest swap package; it had frog shaped pasta, an apron with frogs on it, rubber frogs that were threaded on shish kabobs, Gosh I can't even remember all of it. But I laughed so hard I had to go change. So that's where the frogs came from.

Sorry, Dianna55... IT'S ME! IT'S ME! Thank you Donna (Lackboys3). When the FedEx truck was coming down the street, I just knew that for once it wouldn't be computer parts for DH or yet another present from a grandparent for DS, but for ME! How did you know that I broke the handle off my last favorite oversized mediterranean yellow coffee mug (I had already broken the other one in the pair) this past weekend? I almost went shopping for replacement mugs, but I showed great restraint and kept my shopping to my swap partner only. Thank you for a gorgeous pair of replacements. And the coffee and the spoons and the book to go with it. This is so much fun! Did you know that manatees are my most favorite sea creature of all? (DS will love the cookies too!) A favorite book of his that we have to sing/read with great regularity, is "I'm a Manatee" by John Lithgow. I mean, how can you not love lyrics like... I'm a manatee, I'm a manatee. I'm every bit as wrinkled as my grann-atee. No difference between my face and fann-atee. A noble manatee, That's me. Thank you again, Donna, for such a wonderful swap package. Ann PS... Kayaks have pointy ends, front and back, and the paddles (not oars) have blades on both ends. But I really like your drawing! Have you thought of a new career as an illustrator?

OH yes it IS frog season. I walked out to the front porch last night and there were FIVE frogs out there. I ran back inside, dragging my chihuahua behind me, and took him out back and there were THREE frogs out there.

I hate these things!

I gotta fess up. I'm done, too:) With plenty of time left to fret and second-guess. I think I dud good! I like vibed with my partner! I think...I don't know...I'm scared...tapping fingers on table.

Get this? I did most of my Christmas shopping on line so I smugly shopped knowing I had a plethora of perfect boxes, with packing and everything, waiting for me in the garage. Oh, the joy. So, I go down to access the situation and they are all gone! He got rid of them! Mind you, I told him when I put them in there that these would make great boxes to mail things! He even got rid of the packing materials! Messing up his garage!

Can I add that I bought like the biggest thing ever ?

Shaun, I'm still waiting. You could of at least sprung for airfare for froggy:)

Maggie, :( I so feel for you!
I change out my clothes in the closet seasonally. Spring rolls around and I cannot find the BIG box of summer shoes, sandals galore...honey, have you seen the box I had my shoes in? No. Hmm, back down to the storage room...hunt, hunt, hunt. Hmm, I know exactly what the box looked like. It was the one that held the microwave. Hmm. back upstairs. hunt hunt hunt..nooo, hmm...months later I'm carping about not even having a scudgy pair of sneakers to garden in...HUSBAND says "well, that's why I got rid of the box, they had ratty sneakers on top" SAY WHAT?!!!
I do feel for you Maggie :):)
