5'2", eyes of blue ... and it's disturbing to realize that I'm taller than many women in my town. Hubby says, "You're taller than her," I"ll say, "No, I'm not," Hubby says, "Look at her shoes," and she's wearing three-inch platforms. Tiny, wee women in Utah. And that's not counting all the immigrant ladies.

I just received my Secret Santa gift and I must say that Deena is sooo wonderful! I love my presents! She got me

• Celtic CD titled Anúna (I've already listened to half of it on the way to work - very lovely)
• a beautiful glass bowl/vase with a fluted edge (stuffed with crinkled paper stuffing)
• a decorative...thing, (I have no idea what the proper name is. It looks like a mini bouquet of grapes - very cute.)
• chocolates
• two absolutely wonderful smelling bars of soap. I had to pick up the box at the post office this morning because I live in an apartment and they won't leave it at the door. This minute I smelled those soaps I wanted to drive right back home and take a bath!

Deena - I remember when you posted back in December and said that Kara had stolen part of the gift so when I read the card I laughed. I hope Kara likes it! :) Thank you very much! You and everyone here have been wonderful to talk with over the past few months.

btw - Welcome to the Buffistas, Bells! This is absolutely the best group of people to talk with. I only joined three months ago and everyone here is kind, considerate, understanding, and I have to add VERY SMART. Sometimes I wonder how I survived without them.

Yay! Beathen, I'm so glad you like it. Whew. What a relief. There should also be two bath bombs in there, unless Kara stole those, too. I don't think she did, but one never knows.

If those the great smelling things are the bath bombs then yes, I got them. What's the fragrance called? Where did you get them?

Where did you get them?

She made them. They are the most fabulous things EVER!

OMG you MADE those!?!?! I humbly bow at the feet of Deena.

There are two bars of soap, one gardenia and one lilac, and two bath bombs, also one gardenia and one lilac. I just used lilac and gardenia essential oils in them. Oh, and the bath bombs have shea butter in them, so they should be nicely skin softening.

I didn't get a good chance to pull everything out of the box this morning because I was late for work and the roads were horrible (snowstorm) so I probably missed pulling out either the soaps or the bath bombs...I will definately pull everything out tonight at home. Oh, as you must know, lilac and gardenia are two of my favorite floral scents. Yummm.

I just used lilac and gardenia essential oils in them.

"just", she says.

Aw, a new Buffista. Nice to see you! Well, actually I missed you last night, but...
