For what it's worth (probably not much) you can sign up to have any change in status emailed to you--like when the delivery has been made (or at least when the website is updated). 

The thing that gets me is how there often doesn't seem to be any difference in delivery times between priority mail and parcel post!

Anyone who hasn't sent yet, please PM me with your status.  Thanks!

If your partner has received, your feedback should be POSITIVE (I try to update these right away).  If not, please let me know and I'll make the changes to your profile.

I just got word that EmilyFlew got her meat package, !  Here's what I sent...


I sent a journal with pages from a vintage beef cookbook as covers (a publication from the "Washington State Cowbelles"--which was for wives of ranchers in the Cattlemen's Association), a T-bone steak cat toy for her kitties with catnip spices, some notecards with a grill on the front, and an  assortment of recipes from the book.  Some I picked out because they looked good, others just looked... interesting. 
For example, Beef Browines:

And tongue casserole...


Glad you like it, Emily!  I can't wait for mine now!

OMG, those recipes are too hilarious!  I love the journal too.

Hahaha Aschnelby .. I never knew you could ruin brownies! And I could just lick that tongue casserole off the plate! Good job finding those recipes ...

Wow that meat soap is so awesome!  I would love to get some of that as a gag gift for my veggie friends, do you have a website where you sell stuff at or was that a one time deal?

[EmilyFlew]

I love my meaty goodness! Thank you so much, Ashnebly! Yours should be getting to Vegas very soon!

Craft-matic's package came yesterday. She cleverly made two games out of handmade polymer clay sushis and hand-painted iridescent capiz shell plates, which complement these Asian-inspired delights. This is going to be a little image heavy. Here is the first game:

Tic Tac Roe





These were pieces about 1" big, and she made circular and also rectangular shapes to represent the X's and O's normally in the game. I love how they look and I know she must have spent a lot of time making that rice ... The ginger and wasabi are picture perfect, very nice job, the ginger is so transluscent it could really be on my dinner plate!

Game No. 2 .... Pictured Here:







This one is sushi solitaire, with many little sushi roll slices. Great idea playing with your food! The plate was unfortunately broken during mailing -- rough handling at the post office -- but it still works!

Thanks craftmatic! Mmm mmm good.
