I don't drink coffee or tea but will pass them on to friends that do! I LOVE hot cocoa though! Not a fan of white chocolate, & please no liquor chocolates. Also, I hate black licorice. And fish, not that anyone would send fish. :) Ha!

You know I was already stunned by your gorgeous wrapping and I loved the baking supplies as much as the ribbons and brads I just got. I am so excited to find out what still awaits me. This is definitely one of the best Advent calenders ever! UPDATE: Oh my, lucky me! I loved the other gifts you sent just as much as the first! The fabrics, notebook, pens and the little tin with the tissues, the beautiful earrings and the barrette inside. Thank you so much, Jen! ♥ I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! ♥

Comment: oh!my!gosh! what a freakin' AWESOME atc! PLEASE tell me how you did that stencil cutout thing...or maybe not, cause it is so cool, i fear i will want whatever it is that you do it with! OR did you do it by hand with an Exacto or something?! However it was done-it is SO cool & I LOVE IT!!! And even your note with it was like a gnome wedding invitation! lol! Thank you so much for such a great swap! YOU ROCK!! heart x 10! ~hugs~
Response: I'm thrilled that you like it so much!! I have to admit, I can't remember which one I sent you, because the first one I made, on white paper, I cut out by hand with an exacto knife, and then the next one I tried on my silhouette cutting machine and it was on brown paper. Thank you for the sweet feedback & the heart! : )

Yey :) I'm glad the little bird arrived safely. It is an extra special bird because all proceeds went into helping a facility for adults with special needs. I'm really glad you like it - I've been meaning to send it for so long.
