Wow that got there fast! Go USPS!

I mean- I mailed it on Thursday.

I think the USPS motto is "why be dependable when you can be surprising!?"

OMG! I'm being showered with gifts! I have an embarrassment of riches!

Today I came home and found 2 packages! One from Java Cat and one from msbelle!

I don't know how msbelle did it, with all she has going on but she sent me Spice Girls stickers, a pad of neat retro post-its and the coolest little binder made from circuit boards! Oh, and a great 3D card, too, she's awesome!

And then, JavaCat's package was overflowing. There was a Frank Lloyd Wright mouse pad, note cards, pen and a post card, all of which I adore! But, there was also a ONE POUND dark chocolate bar from Trader Joe's! It's Huge! And, some Crissy Field dark chocolate covered cranberries to remind me that this was a xmas present! And Altoids cinnamon chewing gum which I am enjoying right now to keep me from eating all of the ccc's at once! Oh I almost forgot the Beautiful amethyst pendant.

It all too much and too wonderful!

I'm so glad that all the waiting was worth it quester!! Sounds wonderful.

Thank you askye for the lovely package! It was just perfect. I was so thrilled with the Home Economics textbook from the thirties and the WWII era magazine on how to remake your clothes that I sat right on my stairs and read them! I also received a lovely necklace charm (not sure the right word), a beatiful cloth covered box in the shape of a heart, a charming carved panda bear which is actually on my Hello Kitty tree. I think I am forgetting something, so I feel a little guilty.

But thank you, thank you thank you!

YAY! I'm so glad you liked everything!

I found the textbook at etsy.com (a great website).

Also, there was something else I wanted to put in there but I couldn't find it, when I do I'll put it in the mail to you.

Dear Secret Santa,

A little bird (aka Dani) said you sent it out to me at the beginning of the month. However, I have not received a package so you may want to look at the tracking or call the post office or something.

Dear Secret Santa Leprechaun!

Thank you so much for my gifts! I came home to find the only thing in my mail box was your package and it's a great Friday surprise!

I love the card and the incense, which I'm burning right now and smells wonderful!

And a beautiful bracelet, and a suncatcher/windchime, that's been put up in my window. The sun however, is not cooperating and so it's not catching any sun but it looks lovely and the colors go well with my living room.

Also yummy tasting chocolates and yummy smelling candles.

Love, ali

Oh thank god. I can't believe that took so damn long.

Did you guess it was me? I was hoping the Irish stuff would tip you off!

Well, I wasn't 100% but I was thinking it was you.

I'd been a bit worried it was lost in the mail.

The chocolate leprechaun box was a bit squished but the chocolates were fine (I sampled them). I had regular American chocolate at work today and it just is not the same.
