Jezebel's Surprise Advent Package Train

[Jezebel]

[QUOTE=dlee;5134775]"one think I discovered last year wirh the advent train is that I made a bunch new friends

I couldn't agree with this more. I've only been part of the smart canucks community for a little over a year but it's been such a friendly and enjoyable community. I've learned so much, saved lots of money, and had fun doing it. just for this comment, I decided to change a few things in my profile....update an actual photo of myself, and start being more intentional about asking people to be my friend. it can be quite intimidating in the beginning! if you don't want to be my friend...I understand. =)

hurried off to become your friend

yep just started out this year

Mini buddy....I have searched the posts and can't find this answer so hopefully I'm not repeating a question. Do you scrapbook?

[chesterjes]

would love it

agh...sorry for the multiple posts..I hate DH's tablet

mini train buddy -would you be ok with a 99% homemade package?

Grandpa has got into helping me with the mini train It's truly amazing the things he can remember at times - Most days he can't remember my name -today he has remembered a skill he had 50 years ago and can still do, so he is putting it to work making something for the mini train

[chesterjes]

spiders, oysters lol

oops to answer questions...... I would love a completely homemade package.... I love the care and thought that goes into something that is made with ones own hands Question to my buddy: is there anything that would just make you cringe and throw out if you found it in your package

[chesterjes]

DD got 1 princess window clings and one tinker belle window clings

DD Day 1,3,4 she hid the lip gloss cell phone from day 2 lol

Sending you big hugs

Me too Armygirl - so glad you told us and you 'got it out' that is something that is pretty hard to keep to your self. Please keep us in the loop and vent to any of us anytime. I had a cry for you - hope it helped a little.

Thank you K8! for day 2 I got some nummy chocolate almonds and a cute reindeer candle holder with candy in it

Day 3 was an awesome photo keychain ! I am planning on loading that puppy up today! LOVE it!

Day 4 was a $3 Aveeno call in


Thanks so much K8!

Now off to read the pages that I am behind :O

[Briwantstosave]

oops- and day 5 was my MOST WANTED ITEM!!! A set of cake decorating tips and an icing bag!! Woot woot!!! So wanted these! YOU ARE AWESOME K8!!!

[Briwantstosave]

I can't even tell you how hard those were to find! LOL Ebay was my friend

I am loving seeing how perfect all these gifts are.

On the third day of Christmas my angel Bri sent to me (and made me squeal!)
NOT ONE, but TWO Red Berries and Cedar Yankee Candles. This was my #1 wish, I can't find these anywhere and my last one was used up last Xmas. AND a bag of Hershey drops.

Day 5 for me is some chocolates (Jackson tried to tell me they were his but I hid them when he wasn't looking) and for Jackson a box of granola bars. He had one in the car on the way to daycare, he's not a big breakfast eater so they are perfect, and asked me why he'd never had them before and could we get more. So they were a hit

I swear it gets better

Day 4 i got 2 boxes of much needed envies
DD got 1 princess window clings and one tinker belle window clings

DD Day 1,3,4 she hid the lip gloss cell phone from day 2 lol

I love that scent too, Bluzsuz!!! I got one as a gift about 10 years ago and haven't been able to find it since... maybe I'll try ebay too. I burn it for about 5 minutes each year .

So, TODAY, my wonderful buddy gave the kids and I a beautiful Angel ornament (for me), a scary looking T-Rex book (for Zachary) and a Dora Book (for Hailey). Thanks so much!!
