                      Everyone has come up with great ideas!   This has been a blast!
  The road to success is not straight. There is a curb called Failure, a loop called Confusion; speed bumps called Friends; red lights called Enemies;caution lights called Family. You will have flats called jobs. But, if you have a spare called Determination; an engine called Perseverance; insurance called Faith, and a driver called Jesus, you will make it to a place called Success!! |

                      Sarah,  I got your package and the snow man is adorable!!!  I'm sorry I've been absent on the boards, life has definitely been busy to say the least.  I'm teaching full time, taking 4 college classes at night and still working 15-20 hours at the store.  To top things off, I got the cold a few of my kiddos had!  Your package will go into the mail on Friday as I have the afternoon off!  So sorry again for the delay.  (I'm even sitting in class typing this on my iPad lol, shhhh don't tell the professor!) |

                      Hi Betty, no worries! I understand completely! I am sorry to hear that you have all been sick! I hope everyone is feeling better. No rush on my package at all, I just wanted to be sure you got yours, I was worried about his nose surviving the postal service! Glad to hear he made it OK and that you like it!

                      I just received the coolest reclaimed item.  A dish towel holder made out of a lid and decorated with bright, beautiful buttons.  Thank you, Theresa for this clever piece.  You are so very creative!  Great thinking.

                      Jenny sent me the most wonderful package.    First I gotta say, little fairy's must have spoke with her or how else did she know what I love some much.
  When I first opened the box this is what I saw

  How could she ever know that I collect spiders!!!    And what a beautiful one this one is!    I've hung it in my kitchen.
  Then she made me the most wonderful apron.    I wear aprons all the time.    Just perfect....   Not to mention all the other goodies that were in the box.  
  Just look....

  and yes that little heart is attached to and hiding in the pocket.    You really touched my heart with these gifts.
  What a wonderful surprise!!!    I just love everything.
  Again Thanks Jenny

                      You're welcome, Theresa.  I enjoyed making the apron for you. I'm so glad you enjoyed the spider!  I thought it was so pretty. You were a terrific swap partner. I love seeing everyone's creativity!

                      Check out the amazing reclaimed items Betty sent me... the chain is made from cute Christmas papers and the windchime is made from a hood pin from a race car, chains and jingle bells. I was about to run out and hang it on our little pine tree when I realized it isn't quite Christmas time yet! lol Thanks so much, I love it and really made me smile on a very rough day. <3    .JPG) 
  And you are correct, I do have cats, and a dog and everyone loves the toy you sent, so thank you from them! Izze, the cream colored cat is rubbing his face on it in this photo. Bonita swiped it from him the moment he turned his back.(Charmer, the other cat was too busy nesting in the box to be in the photo - lol)

                      Sarah,  I'm really glad you enjoyed everything!  I was seriously contemplating finding something else to send because I really liked the wind-chime!  Looks like the kiddos really enjoyed the new toy! |

                      The snowman is made from an empty Mentos gum container and the hat and scarf are made from a sock. :) The nose is the end of a bamboo kabob skewer painted orange. A KoolAid container would probably work too... Not sure how they are shaped though. I saw the idea for these on Pinterest and had to start chewing a lot of gum to make them. :)

                      Pennie, I haven't heard from her. I am going to shoot her an email right now and check in. I will let you know what I hear. Let me know if you wind up hearing from her.
