Oh boy oh boy oh boy! I must have been very nice to have deserved Melanie from Cyinical Optimism for my Secret Santa from the 2009 Holiday Swap. I couldn't believe my eyes as I unpacked my box.First, I know Melanie's been on my blog on a Thursday because I got all sorts of fabulous teas and even a packet of hot cocoa. And I know she paid attention to the "favorite flavors" part of the entry form because I got lemon, ginger, and dark chocolate goodies (and some whiskey pralines!).
When I'm done snacking and it's time to get reading, I have
some heavenly spicy scented handmade goat's milk soap for washing up. Next, I can pull out my new pen and cool notepad, get my bookmark ready and decide between two (yes, two!) books to read.I also got a super Nashville magnet and some yummy lip gloss. I am so thrilled -- I could get used to being treated so well!
Thanks soooooo much, Melanie. You're the greatest. And thanks also to Nymeth, who was the coordinator for the holiday swap this year. I know she had a lot of helpers, and I want to thank them, too.
Yep, I'd say you've been good this year. Nice haul!
