Sounds like a really great package. Can't believe Ann would have missed the shape of that board. I remember pix of Lee Wolf's boards from other swaps and they are amazing. You are very lucky! I do want to see that platter. I'm sure it's really lovely. And did you get the wedge shaped ricer? I'm jealous since reading that they are better than my traditional one. (It's not like I make mashed potatoes more than once in a blue moon!)

Great package Ann. Waiting for pix. Janet

Oh yes, I'd love to see pictures, especially that blue platter. I've never used a potato ricer so I'll be looking forward to hearing about Peppi's experience with hers.

Peppi, I hope your Mom is OK and gets to come home quickly.

Annie

HURRY UP AND POST THOSE PICS, OR MICHELLE AND I WILL BE SENDING YOU SKELETONS!!! LOL DIANA55

What a nice package! I remember photos of those cutting boards too and they are a great swap gift. I'm anxiously awaiting pictures and I'm hoping your Mom will be fine and out of the hospital by tomorrow.

Ann, as usual you did a teriffic job!

Beverly

Peppi, hugs to your Mom and to you and Dad too. It's not easy, but a gift package from Ann is sure to bring a smile.

I also would like to see the pictures. Sounds like a super swap package.

Peppi, Glad you liked everything and that you didn't already have a potato ricer. That was the one item I wasn't sure of.

I hope your mom is doing much better today. Please keep us informed.

Ann

I remember those lovely cutting boards too! What a treat to receive one!

Your blue plate sounds lovely.

And it'll be a nice variation on potatoes with the ricer.

Catherine

I'd love to see the platter and the cutting board -- I remember being very impressed with some of the other boards I've seen.

Isn't it nice to know that you'll be thinking of Ann for years to come, everytime you pull out the boar or the platter. Truely gifts that keep giving!

Hope your Mom continues to do ok, Peppi.

Ann always has the best nose when it comes to finding great items by local artistians so I'm sure that cutting board & platter will be well used & enjoyed ,Peppi.

Gosh-- a potato ricer-- that sure brings back memories.

Oh, Peppi, so sorry your mom had to go to ER. Glad to hear she is doing well, tho.

Can't wait to see pictures, I love my Lee Wolf cutting board, I know you will love yours!C And I am dying to see the plate! I have never used a ricer, either, so keep us posted on how it works for you.

Linda

Finally, here is a link to the photos. Some day I will figure out out to post them directly into the email, but I know you are waiting out there. Some are even skin and bones by now.

Peppi,

PS: Mom is doing well and should be home in a day or so.

Ann, that's a great selection. I love the platter, very nice and also useful...nice color.

Peppi, aren't you glad you didn't give in and buy the one in Gatlinburg? You'll enjoy the ricer, I have one and use it often. Lucky you to get one of those magnificent cutting boards!

Nancy

Great gifts, lovely platter, and I could lick the pic of the bun!! Enjoy.
Great swap, Ann. And thanks for all your work putting this together.

Wow, what a great swap box! Beautiful platter and cutting board. Ann, your choices were wonderful and am sure that Peppi will enjoy everything.

The board is as lovely as I remember and the platter is beautiful.

Those boards are beautiful! Great job Ann! Enjoy it Peppi.

Everything is BEAUTIFUL! I love the platter color and the grain on the cutting board is AWESOME. Yes, Ann, great job!

Ann, as always you did good ;-)

Peppi, The board does look like the state of Illinois! That makes it a double special board. I love my Lee Wolf board and use it all the time. One side for serving the other for cutting.

Beautiful package but my favorite has to be the platter.

Beautiful cutting board and platter! Love the shape of that ricer too, never seen one shaped like that before. Great swap package!

Shelley

I love the grain on the cutting board and it does look like Illinois. (DH comes from Chicago, me=Decatur, U of I grads)Beautiful platter, love the blue colors. And I have a masher like that and it is the best. Great swap package.
Clare

What a wonderful selection of items! THat platter is gorgeous.

Enjoy!

AM

Oh wow, the grain on that cutting board is amazing! Gorgeous platter, too. What a lovely box of goodies! Great job, Ann.

Nina

Oh yeah, I love that platter, it would be perfect for so many things, and the cutting board would be as nice for a serving piece as for a cutting board.

I really like Ann's cards, though, I agree she should be selling those....

Annie

Nice package, Ann, I love all of your favorites! Enjoy them, Peppi!
