I"m mailing tomorrow asap... I just got my buddy's address from Jez but I was at work already so I'm hoping that the baked goods I made last night will withstand another couple of days and that my buddy gets her package before Xmas! I'm gonna send expedited as usual and am glad my buddy lives not that far away, in the same province =)

ok WHEW I was worried I may be the only one mailing after Christmas but I think Wednesday will just be too late to get it in the mail, it will just sit in the Mississauga hole over Christmas while the baking spoils. It will give me more time to make an awesome gift for my mini buddy too
Thanks Gwenad for making me feel better

OH boooooo just got a call from DH that DD went through the baked goods I made this morning and only crumbled, half eaten pieces remain =((((
I guess I'll have to make new homemade things for my buddy and send after Christmas too.... this sucks! Good thing is, I wasn't that happy about how the baked goods turned out as I was rushed... so buddy, your package will be bigger and better than originally planned. SORRY

I didn't post yesterday due to a death in the family yesterday morning - had to drive to Beausejour and pack my hubbys' grandmas possessions so that her room can be given to another patient immediately.
Yesterday the kids each got posters and markers (princess and cars) and I had to tape them to the table (the posters not the kids) so that they could "work" while I made breakfast. Today was a huge pad of tracing paper for my daughter to do fashion designs with(she has a light table with a doll body outlines, various fashion pieces/accessories etc so she can trace outfits, add texture, colour etc) - so perfect thank you PammieD everything is spot on!
Delivered a Christmas hamper of food/gifts to a single mom and son near Furby this morning and now have to clean house before my parents arrive in a day and a half.RRLF Disney Movie Reward codes found inside Disney dvd/bluray cases

I mailed already... but no baked goods. I didn't think poisoning my buddy before(or after) Christmas was a good idea. LOL!!
I needed to have it "off my plate" because I have to start getting ready for our trip. I made our packing lists and I will pack over 2 weeks to make sure we have everything. I also have to include all the items we bring down to the resort staff and to give out when hubby goes into the small towns. So far we have:
10 x pads/liners
3 x packages of diapers
20x packs of razors
20x toothbrushes
20x toothpaste/mouthwash
20x advil/mortin/tylenol/childrens tylenol
20x bandaids/polyspoirin
Deodorants, soaps, shampoo's
a nice assortment of hair clips/ponytails, earrings, necklaces, makeup
Coloring books, crayons, stickers, small puzzles, small stuffed animals, pens, pencils, paper
Outfits for kids boys & girls in sizes newborn-4T... and then S/M/L/XL
Outfits for women and men in all different sizes
Nylons(you have no idea how much the dancers and front desk staff love to receive nylons)
Clothespins
Gum
Teatowels/Dishclothes
Pillowcases and sheets
And a bunch of other random stuff. I know it sounds like way to much... but hubby and I always upgrade to the highest luggage allowed and we bring what we can.... I'm not sure what you ladies know about Cuba but the work the entire month for around $25 US. Without tips from us(that they have to change over on the black market) it would be very hard to make it. It's important to stress that (from my experience) these people do not beg for items... the offer us peso all the time. We of course, kindly refuse. Last time we went, we had to show the kids how to use a sticker book... they didn't know. It broke my heart. I think its one of the main reasons we love Cuba... you feel good for many reasons.
And another big shout out to Peachy who sent us a wonderful selection of items to bring with us **muah**Last edited by pumpkin9211; Mon, Dec 17th, 2012 at 01:19 PM.

Bear25 - I'm so sorry for your loss. Please don't feel bad about not being here at all. You need to take care of yourself and the loved ones around you. Thank you for putting so much effort into my package. I've enjoyed each day and will post more photos soon of all the things that you got for me. May you find some peace and joy during this time even though I know it is hard. Big hugs and thinking of you.
=( I know how that feels like. Big hugs and hopefully through technology you can stay in touch as much as you can.
Love Love that Keep Calm and Carry On Tin! I want to find it! I love love crafting so it would be perfect for me too. =) Perhaps I"ll make my own on vistaprint. (thanks for the tip pumpkin). Gosh, I want to go to Cuba!!!
I'm definitely waiting. Although I went to a Zellers that is liquidating yesterday and bought tons of stuff! It's so cheap and a lot of it will be going to donations and toy boxes. I was amazed at how cheap they were selling Crayola for so I'm probably going to be including that for my mini train buddy. But likely it will be on the last possible day so it can be as good as it can be.
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss too wendyjane. Seems like there's been so much going on with everyone's life these days.
BIG HUGS TO ALL OF YOU! Wish it could be in person but for now, grab yourself some delicious hot chocolate, stay in your pajamas, and wrap yourself in a blanket. that's a dlee hug for you. =)

You're the only one I know that loves black licorice... haha but glad you could enjoy it! That's also why I got you not 1, but 2 packs of black licorice! I'm racking my brain trying to remember what gifts are left for you to open
I come on everyday wondering, "What did Nicki get?" Haha... I should have written it all down before wrapping and mailing off =) I'm so curious even though I was the one that shopped for you... I must be suffering from mommy brain (so forgetful!)
