That toaster purse is unbelievably cool and so original - I love it   And the glowing toast and friends are so funny, what a treat!

Thank you, EkkaGrrl, for arranging an angel...

and Thank you, camelama, for being an angel

You ladies rock!

Here are a few pictures of the package that I sent to Aka_Breeno

A picture of everything together (minus the small boxes of Lucky Charms that I substituted for packing material).  A bumbleberry jam scented candle, a set of six drink markers, a keychain, strawberry on white & grape on wheat necklaces, toast stuffie with smaller matching cat toy (hiding underneath) and some Alaska Salmonberry jam, Fireweed honey, a silicone butter & jam set and a mini cinnamon toast candle


the candle - smells delish!!


the toast necklaces


the cat toy - I tried to make him look worried but...


and my postal receipt


Thank you again to camelama and EkkaGrrl.  I really appreciate all that you have done.

I love 'em!!  I think you have just inspired me to bring down my sewing machine at long last.  I have a serious pile of t-shirts that I just couldn't bear to part with now that they no longer fit...they will like this .  Thank you for sharing your great work

Here are a few recipes that I've tried with my kids that are all fantastic...

toffee:  http://candy.about.com/od/carameltoffee/r/englishtoffee.htm
caramels:  http://gottalittlespacetofill.blogspot.com/2009/12/homemade-caramels.html
peanut brittle:  http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/moms-best-peanut-brittle/Detail.aspx  (I use almonds instead of peanuts)
truffles:  http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/easy-decadent-truffles/Detail.aspx
lollipops/hard candy:  http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,177,150176-253198,00.html  (I mostly just pour this onto a cookie sheet and after it hardens I just crack it all with a butter knife and enjoy the pieces...my grandma used to put the pieces into some powdered sugar for a coating)

My mother has a hard honey candy recipe that was always so much fun to make as a kid, I'll have to get it from her if you're interested.

WHOA!!  I was feeling a little sad this morning (I dropped my "baby" off at college yesterday) and this gallery is just what I needed!!! 

You ladies are all amazing!

OMG - how cute!  I love the rainbow caterpillar and the detail on the tree stump - perfect.  Of course it would be hard to part with , it's uber fantabulous!  Great job!!

I love all the toasties in this here gallery.

Fantastic stuffs!!

Whew.  I'm almost out of fingernails, reverting back to the horrid childhood habit of biting them....apparently it's how I deal with the angst of waiting for my parcel to my partner to be delivered  

When I shipped the post office advised of 5-7 mail days.  I'm thinking and hoping, that it's already arrived in country and is waiting for delivery.  Meanwhile, I'm keeping my fingers crossed (and behind my back ) that she enjoys her package.   

This toast gallery is kicking serious butt

The Ninja Toast is just plain awesome!!  I love the bread/toaster t-shirt - so darn cute!

Shipped off my package of toasty goodness.  Now, I just gotta wait and deal with my swap anxiety (it's driving me batty )

Great package!!!  That needlebook is just adorable!  And, DANG ,  I sooo wish I could crochet!!!  Fantastic stuff!!
