| Woo hoo!! I received my swap box from Arabella Miller today!! Funny how things work out, today was a downer for me and this package was a great thing to pick me up...
Am's theme was Hot Chocolate and Marshmallows...she read that I'm a confirmed pyromaniac that loves playing with fire...in more ways than one..LOL!
To start things out she sent me this cool battery operated marshmallow toaster. It does three at a time. I'm good to go as some of the packing material was marshmallows...LOL! I'm betting Cathy doesn't have this gadget YET!
What goes better with marshmallows, toasted or not. Why some good hot chocolate of coures. She also included some great mugs from the CIA where she has taken several cooking classes. Like she mentioned in her note, anything with the CIA logo will make you look like a pro...now I just have to find that special someone to impress...don't hold your breath on that one..LOL!
Next is a great wooden spoon also from the CIA. I've come to appreciate quality wooden spoons thanks to the swaps and some I've purchased myself. Yes, they are hand washed and don't take a ride through the DW. I'm one who puts everything in the DW so this little gem will be well used and cared for.
A great swap box!
Thanks AM!! You were very creative coming up with this theme and box with me liking to play around with/by a fire. I'm hosting a dinner for my DN next weekend and we will break in this cool gadget for sure. Winter has set in here and I've had my fireplace on a couple of times already. Hey, the 30's and 40's is cold to this wimp and the rest of my group. Dont' LOL to hard y'all that are farther north! I wonder what EJ would do with this....the kitchen or the night stand...LOL! Thanks again for a great swap box! Oh, Lucy sends a big ole Dane kiss to your Lucy!!

That is a nifty trick that marshmallow roaster!

| The marshmallow roaster is great! Of course, I'd have to be the one to build the fire if I were going to use it. If my dh builds the fire you can't stand within three feet much less hold a relatively short plastic handled object anywhere near it. :) Enjoy all your goodies and impress the heck out of your friends with your CIA gear!

| Okay, it's 3:30 am and I'm going to make some hot cocoa! I think I'll pass on starting the fire as Raymond would freak. Thanks AM for furthering David's reputation as the coolest uncle ever. Cathy |

| Got your fire going didn't she , David? Cool items, AM--clever gal-- love it |

| I saw that marshmallow tool for David before I saw the box and what I was thinking would make even a hardened sailor (no pun intended) blush. Nice theme, AM! |

| I'm so glad you like it!! Swaps can be tough if you're the type to overthink everything.... I hope the marshmallow gadget is as fun to use as it looks. My sister just sent me a wonderful wooden spoon, otherwise I would have had a hard time letting that one go! Enjoy it all David, you are a great guy and a very fun swap partner! AM |

| Very cool theme AM. Love the marshmallow toaster. David you'll be able to make s'mores to go with your hot chocolate. Nice mugs, but I really like the wooden spoon. Great package, that will get lots of use over the winter months! Shelley |

| Chris got us one of those marshmallow thingies for the cottage...actually he got it for himself but...anyhow they area hoot and the "kids" love it! That spoon is seriously gorgeous! Enjoy big guy! |

| David if you're feeling blue, just take one of my plastic tumblers, fill it with your favorite alcohol, go sit outside and roast some marshmallows by moonlight - then clink to your CF pals! |
RE: I'll be playing/sitting by the fire...Thanks AM!!

| Oh boy, I just love that spoon. the marshmallow toaster, though, now that's original, I've never seen one like that. Battery powered gadgets, yup, that has to be good. (OK, Jessica, your turn!) Have a cup of cocoa for me, David, and if you have a bad day, call one of us, we'll cheer ya' right up! Annie |

| How neat is that. Bet you will have fun using the marshmallow toaster David. I'm sure that Arabella's gift was just what you needed to cheer you up. Ann |
RE: I'll be playing/sitting by the fire...Thanks AM!!

Yep - I absolutely LOVE the theme of your swap goodies David!! AM, that was pure genius! Hot chocolate with marshmallows is pretty high on the cheering up scale, I hope it worked really well for you:-) Good, sturdy wooden spoons are hard to come by and that one looks like it's a winner. And you were a good cook even before you received the CIA mugs, but now they will make you look like a Food Network chef! Enjoy it all David, and let us know what you REALLY end up doing with the battery operated marshmallow toaster!!!

| What a neat swap package! Lovely shape to that spoon. Enjoy it David. |

| David, can I come sit by your fire?! I love what I used to call meesimonies (Don't ask me why...) - especially double roasted!! in fact, DM used "meesimonies" to bribe me away from my last bottle - so goes some of the bizzo-related folklore. What a great theme, AM! (love the spoon!!) |
RE: I'll be playing/sitting by the fire...Thanks AM!!

| Gina, too darned cold for me to be sitting outside as of late. Trust me, we clinked more than once over the summer with those tumblers. They came in handy for all of the little kids I've had visiting too...they loved picking their own color out. I've got your number Ms. Empress... : ) David |
