Fun package!
I may have candy bars to send to people if I ever get the enrobing to work. I may be asking for guinea pigs in the very near future.
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2013: That Was the Year That Was
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Thanksgivukkahmas, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Out you go, 2013!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Yay! I'm glad everything got there okay, Lee. Those caramels are one of my favorite things from that candy company. Also, thank you for posting the pictures - I was delighted to see George presiding over the haul.
ION, drunk camels sound like they would be amusing. Probably from a distance, though.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I am picturing merlot camels as purple from the feet up, as if from stomping grapes.
Or maybe made of gelatinized wine. The wave form has not collapsed.

I think you gave me some raspberry caramels from there once and they were divine.
I waved at you earlier this week! I was in STL for literally two hours then flew back home.

Did you see me waving back?
(and yes, their raspberry caramels are lucious - and there's another company around her that makes lavender caramels)

Yay, Empress Day success! Perfect timing.
When I went to wrap, all I could find was leopard print scotch tape. Which didn't really match the wrapping paper but I thought would be appreciated nonetheless.
The ornament came from the Christkindlmarket [link] in Chicago which I think you would really love if you're ever down here between thanksgiving and Xmas.
