Hi Allie :)
Oh my goodness - please forgive my tardiness in saying thanks! I've been up visiting my daughter for a few weeks and just got home earlier this week. My package was waiting for me. Thanks so much for the goodies.
I will have such fun using all the wonderful things you sent. Hope your package arrived safely as well.
Take care - it was almost 100 degrees down here today - I could use some "cabin fever" weather about now!

Thank you so much for a wonderful box. I have been really sick with upper respiratory issues and so sorry to be late in letting you know. I will post pictures when I can. Love the books, stickers, wool , and everything else. The card is precious.

Vanessa - We had a dumping of snow this week and I came home from work on Thursday afternoon, with a heavy case of "cabin fever". BUT... at my door step was your amazing parcel of goodness which immediately relieved my cabin fever. It couldn't have come at a better time. I absolutely LOVE IT!!! The books look really interesting. I do love Bill Bryson. My husband & I are already enjoying the delicious Salted Caramel chocolates and the variety of teas. I am so happy when I have a sudoku book in my hand (it's great stress-relief!). I have never seen moisturising socks before, so look forward to using those. Some more beautiful bath goodies, recipes galore, and I loved the article about George Clooney visiting your local trivia night. Thank you so much for your thoughtful parcel. It really made my day!!

Debbie,
I just opened my box of goodies. I feel quite spoiled. Thank you so much for everything. The book looks so good, and I will read it as soon as I finish what I am reading now. I love historical fiction. Love the soap, yarn, chocolate, magazine, socks, lotion, and movies. Oh, and the whale? Well that completely stole my heart. It's SO cute! It's definitely going to be a good luck charm for me. Love the puzzle too! I love jigsaw puzzles.
thank you again.
love and hugs,
Narcy

I got the box from Cindy, filled with everything I love! The notebooks, teas, soaps, fabric, are lovely. The towel is made of plastic but it feels so soft, like the socks. Looks like I'll be starting a new quilt! I also tried the apple butter on toast, and it is delicious- I'll have to make waffles and spread some on them.

Good morning Cabin Fever Reliever swappers. Partners are posted. Have fun putting your packages together. Mail date is the February 18. Stay warm and stay well. Interesting new thread on the Across the Fence page about Ham Radios -- check it out. And, if you're looking for a good book to read while you are waiting for Spring to arrive, check out my latest recommendation on the Reading Room page.
hugs,
jean

Welcome Marcy from the frozen Northwest. It was minus 12.6 degrees overnight. But it has warmed up to a balmy minus 1 now. Woo Hoo!!
