[BFMamaOf2]

SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG TO POST DEALSNIFFER!!!! We ended up being gone most of the day & I didn't have time to post before we left


So as I was changing the second of many diapers today, I heard a knock at my door. I wasn't expecting anyone, so I'm thinking hmmmmm who's here? My kids of course start going bananas because they just LOVE visitors!! So as I'm trying to wrap my little dude in his diaper, toss it outside, wash my hands & then get to the door, I'm saying "I'm coming, I'll be right there!" whilst my children are running around in circles like mad dogs I manage to hop over the both of them & get down the stairs.....I open the door...............and DEALSNIFFER is there with a big box in her hands I was SO super excited, especially because I got her for this exchange as well It was awesome to finally put a face to the name as we've all been trying to get together in this area to do a meet-up/coupon swap, etc & I haven't been able to meet anyone yet due to childcare issues We got to chat for a few minutes (she had to run & my hellions were trying to escape.....one sans pants.....into the chilly outdoors) and I offered up my place to meet at so hopefully we can all make it happen soon! As soon as I got the box upstairs my kiddos were all over it, trying to see what was inside - everything was wrapped up all nice & pretty and on the very top was an amazing handmade card You are SO talented!!! I can't even cut a straight line, let alone do crafty things (my poor, poor children -eek!) I absolutely LOVE everything, you did a terrific job And let me tell you, the kids were just thrilled with all of the things they received as well! There was a lot of bargaining that had to be done in order for me to get the pictures taken before they were into the chocolates, suckers & candies THANK YOU SO VERY, VERY, VERY MUCH FOR EVERYTHING!!! I'm so grateful for everything & it was very special that you included my babies too!! I am especially ecstatic about the coffee since I pretty much have it mainlined into my veins each day

So here's the pictures I took & I'll give a run-down on everything I was so generously gifted with!
- 3 Paperback novels (which I've already started one!)
- Can of coffee
- Tub of gummy hearts (YUM-O! I'm not a chocolate person, but I LOVES me gummy candies!!)
- 2 notebooks
- Flashing valentines pen
- Fuzzy slipper socks (which I've got on right now since it's a chilly night!)
- Barrettes (my daughter was over the moon that these were for her!)
- 2 Hair scrunchies
- Bouquet of rose suckers (these are all gone already LOL)
- 4 children's books (they were so excited for these, my kids inherited my love of books so we read them each twice before bed tonight!)
- Popcorn Art (we did this craft before bed & it turned out really cool!)
- Tons of stickers (which my daughter promptly confiscated, along with the shiny pink notebook, declaring it her "super-special-berryrific-beautiful-sticker-book-that-Alex-is-not-allowed-to-touch-K Mom? She's 4......that should explain it all )
- Heart shaped notepad
- 9 mini-Hershey bars (these are also gone already!)
- package of Bear Paws (and these are eaten up too!)
- Canada temporary tattoos....which are now all over my babies
- Cool flashing wiggle ball, my DS claimed this one as soon as he saw it
- Variety of coupons Hee hee!!!
- She also wrote me a lovely letter, you are too kind & sweet!! You did a terrific job, and I can't express how appreciative I am


AMAZING!!!!!!






The awesome card she made for me!!




Seriously, so talented!! And I just LOVE the little pawprint from Felix


Mr. NoPants & the flashy wiggle ball (if I figure out how to flip my pic I'll change it LOL) - I swear this child NEVER keeps his pants on

Deals did awesome.

[dealsniffer]

I am sooooooo glad you liked it BFmamaof2! I thought with your kids that the food would not last long. lol I thought I would include stuff for your babies too because who doesn't like gifts right? Plus I had some of it on hand and I am glad it could go to good use! I used to teach preschool sundayschool and so I had some stickers still that I thought your children would love. I am glad the popcorn art thing turned out! I wasn't sure about it if it would work but I thought I would take a chance on it! I had sooooooooooooooo much fun shopping for you too! I am glad you like the books too-the ones for you I was completely just guessing and wasn't sure if you would like them and you seemed to have a similar taste in books as me so I thought if I thought it sounds good that you might like it. The books for your kids-I was not sure if I picked out the right age range for them and stuff and I have been wondering and somewhat worried I had picked out hte wrong ones! But I am sooo happy they are good! oh I am so happy the flashing ball was a hit too! I am still chuckling over it! thinking back I guess I should have bought a blue or green one since your son took it! lol oh well. lol I was worried with my luck for timing that I would catch you at a bad time or you would not be home so sorry about that! Sorry I had to run-I didn't want to keep you too long since I sort of just showed up! Also my dad was waiting in the van. Seriously I had so much fun shopping and I am so glad you enjoyed it as well! oh we totally have to make a meet happen this month! Your kids seem sweet too! I can't see any photos tho? maybe it is my computer?

[dealsniffer]

oh I thought I should add that when I went to the dollar store shopping for BFmama that I found the craft isle and probably would have bought the whole isle if I had the money to do so! lol I was like a kid in a candy store! Oh I am in the process of making a scrapbook page from the one kit that BFmama got me too! sorry I am so happy that you loved it BFmama!!! that makes me so happy! I have been so excited to drop it off and it was so hard to keep quiet! anyways that is all now. lol

[dealsniffer]

I still don't see the pictures-am I the only one? if I am then it is my computer for some reason. It would be neat to see the pic with BFmama's son and the flashing ball.

[WandaJean]

I don't see a pic either, I just figure she hadn't posted it yet. I love looking at the pics

[dealsniffer]

ok so it isn't just my computer?

[WandaJean]

no

[hogama]

I've been having troubles posting pix on here lately.... i didn't get to 'show off' my gift! Maybe BFMama is having the same troubles :shrugs:

[BFMamaOf2]

Hmmmmm? That's weird b/c they are showing up for me? I don't know what I did wrong.....let me see if I can fix this LOL

And yes, Deals did a SUPERB job I couldn't be happier!!

[BFMamaOf2]

Can anyone see them now?!?!

[dealsniffer]

haha they are showing up now! that is a cute pic of your son and the ball! he looks like he is enjoying it! I don't know how long it will flash for-I am not sure what makes it flash but I hope it lasts awhile!
