They are all from my wishlist although one I already got in the Euroxchange...but I am sure it will find its way to a good home. Thank you so much Sunny! Books are my favourite treats

A giraffe magnetic bookmark, love it! Halloween notepad to use in my office at home. The Original Slinky in Halloween colors-awesome! 3 flavors of hot cocoa-Butterscotch, Caramel, and Artic White. Love me some cocoa! A small note pad with Lioness and her cub on it. Cute. Mary Engelbreit note pad set The Queen of Everything-You better believe it too!!! The last two items my husband thanks you dearly for. A bag of Gourmet Candy Corn in Pumpkin Pie flavor and New England Coffee Pumpkin Spice.

I am SO spoilt! I am a bit hungover today as I went out on the razz last night straight after work - that's why I didn't get on here yesterday.

Exceedingly Obsessed Posts: 3,132 Group: Members Member #177 Joined: January 22, 2007	I'm late opening my package! I got a heavy box from booksnbeer. Thanks for all the goodies! I got five books, none of which I've ever heard of before and definitely would not have picked for myself. Very interesting choices: and a cookbook: I also got an I Love Vampires t-shirt, which I may try to develop into a costume for the party we're having tonight. Also, some tasty chocolate, a Halloween soundtrack CD (which we'll incorporate into our party playlist tonight), a pair of fishnets, some funny Halloween socks (wearing these today!) and a Halloween bracelet. Thanks again!

I soooo wanted the cookie cutters for myself but the postage was too high for Austria. I am glad you liked everything! Have a spooky Halloween and (I think I am right....) a Happy Birthday!

It was not what I'd expected it to be by the cover blurbs, but a great book, in and of itself. I was especially pleased by how self-possessed the main character is. She is a strong female lead! I hope you enjoy the book as much as I did. LoriPed, you struck on a good choice of book to send! Sorry I'm so late in posting. I remembered on Thursday, but then Friday was completely bonkers and I forgot. I only remembered when I was about to leave the site just now and saw that this thread was at the top of the exchanges! My presents came wrapped from Amazon.com: Two wishlist books! 3-Ingredient Slow Cooker Comfort Foods & 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die Thanks so much, TwiggySC1973! Your spooky parcel was a genuine surprise!

But glad you like the books

Exceedingly Obsessed Posts: 2,728 Group: Members Member #2,431 Joined: April 21, 2008	I'm glad it arrived Nicole. I actually had three of your wishlist books in the original parcel. This was one of them. I read it myself first and really loved it (and immediately added other books by this author to my wishlist). I feel so bad that everything went missing. But wouldn't it be great if somewhere around January it suddenly shows up? Hope you enjoy it! Edited by Jordanne, Dec 7 2009, 03:12 PM.
