So psyched to see what coffee-related goodness everyone's got!

[RondaS]

I have recieved! and I didn't even know it had been sent yet because I didn't check my messages last night! LOL!

hubby brought in a box and said "there's a box here for you" and left - and I wondered what the heck? as I wasn't expecting anything from the post right now!

anyway - I am tickled with it and will now post photos.. many photos, LOL!

the box - with a note on top that I ignored in favor of opening the package, LOL! then I read the note after and that was so fun!



first I looked through a whole LOT of recipe cards that all look really fun and interesting - lots of recipes that are tea related or coffee related and opened the box with the promised Hawkeye's cup for my darling husband! It is perfect and he will be happy and that will make me VERY happy as then he will cook for me all week without complaining - ulterior motives, but honest ones     really, really!



other side of cup (he loves the Hawkeyes for all his life and he is getting pretty old, LOL!)



oh so cute earrings with teapots on them!


soap made with chamomille tea which smells heavenly and is my bathroom making it smell loverly in there!


and saving the best for last, for me - an oh so wonderful tote bag with a great dragon on it!
outside:

inside lining (nice enough to be an outside!):

detail of the front!

detail of the trim!

I love dragons, and this tote is too beautiful to use for everyday - so it is going to be my tote for taking supplies to craft shows so I will know where to find everything I need when someone requests a special order - which means no more searching for crimps or tools or head pins! pic of it full of stuff:


photo of all of it together!


I am so tickled!

yippee!!! i received today too!!!
rondaS and i have the advantage of living in the same state, so our packages got to each other SUPER quick. and i must say... she totally spoiled me! we talked a bit and found we both have education (as a profession) in common, so some of it was totally geared towards being a teacher. i hope i did enough for you, ronda!!

on to pics!

all the loot together...

clockwise from left... two gorgeous lanyards for my id badge at school, some wonderful smelling indian tea, home-made cocoa mix, yummy cookies (they've already been attacked), music magnets, the cutest lip blam, a whole bunch of different fruity teas, and a hall pass system in the middle!

here's a close-up of the two lanyards... she does such beautiful work!


and the hall pass system! so clever... the hooks stick to the "hall pass" sheet and the coloful ribbons hang from the hooks... when a kid wants to leave the room, that serves as their pass!


and the most adorable lip balm "rocky road" flavored.. it looks like a real ice cream tub! (there's a penny next to it for scale)


the mug is set to arrive on the 13th from Amazon.com... i'll post more pictures when it gets here!!!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU, RONDA!

[RondaS]

big sigh of relief! Nothing got squished by the post!

I am so glad you like the Hall Pass system, I was so worried you wouldn't like it! It was really hard to come up with something big and garish and easy to spot, but at the same time not ugly, LOL!

I got my package last night! I was so exhausted after a long day at school (I have evening classes) that I just plopped into bed after opening it. So without further delay. Here are pictures of my amazing package from motleycruiser!
If you have photos please feel free to post them! Thank you for such a lovely package XD


All of the amazing loot together. So much candy and tea! XD I believe the silver packages are mint flavored tea stirrers?


Unfortunately the teapot broke in transit. Could you tell me where you got this set? I would love to get another since both pieces took a beating in transit and I love it so much.


The matching cup. Perfect size! It is not broken but has a scratch down the side and, while still usable, I am afraid of putting it in the microwave now.


Inside of cup. Isn't it cute?


The cute tea pot in its cute cozy. Did I put it on right?


Bottle holder which has a small strap so I can put it over my wrist or on the straps of my purse or backpack. The pictures do not do the yarn justice in any of the crocheted items.


Cool wrist warmers that I could not get a good photo of to save my life  She also added crossword puzzle buttons. They are really cool but hard to photo.

I loved it all.

the cozy is made so it covers your pot & cup when they are stacked together. I found it at the thrift store but it still had its original sticker from Kohls on it though, if I remember it was made by Sonoma.

I receive my great package too, the mail always comes right before I go to work so I never have time to post pics but I will later.
