SO I know the latest posts in the entire forum are from last year, but I FINALLY GOT &;S PACKAGE AND THE BRACELET WAS WORTH THE WAIT &lt;3</p>
<p>(It&;s the one in the middle! ;v; The rainbow loom bracelet on the other picture was also from her.)</p>
<p></p>

<p>Thank you so much again, Ser! I thought it was intercepted, but I&;m really happy it still got to me eeeee

It's a good thing you didn't put any perishable food in there, !

But yay, I love seeing box pictures. :D

Yes! Luckily it was the bracelet one vs. the local goods one XD Yummy year old popcorn anyone?

YAY, I GOT MY BOX TODAY. :D

PS - Sorry about the crappy images. :( I remember why I took pictures with my parents' camera for the last exchange now.

SPOILER (click to toggle)

Super cute chalkboard tags! :D These are awesome. I mostly keep my loose leaf tea in bags, and I've always wanted to get a tin, but there's no good way to mark what's in what... until now!

Speaking of tea... Single serve loose leaf teas! Contains blood orange, chocolate rose, caramel nougat, black cherry, and peach brulee flavors. (Ugh, so indulgent, you're killing me!) Contains peach rhubarb preserve, tangerine rosemary, tupelo honey fig, white cinnamon sage, and wild apple ginger. Both boxes smell awesome, and amazingly, not a single one is in the same flavor as teas I currently I have. I'm sipping tupelo honey fig now. ^_^

And these single serve teas fit perfectly in my new manatea! :D He is delightful to watch in my cup of tea, btw. Brewing is no longer a boredom.

And in the vein of food... A super cookbook of meals that are 300 calories or less! Holy crap, I'm so happy. :D I try to limit all my meals to that exact count. It comes with a food diary, which will be great when I'm traveling and still want to track everything. And the beginning chapters are tips and advice. :D I'm so stupidly happy over this. It's so hard to find good recipes -- so many places think anything less than 1,000 calories counts as reasonable, but not when you eat five times a day! -- and I'm already planning what to make first.

A huge, fat notepad with my initial on it and a pin and a ribbon. :D I like to keep ribbons from things to use on presents later, and yay, plenty of space for planning grocery lists and to-do things. :D I'm a list person.

A journal with a bunch of keys on it! :D I'm such a sucker for journals. And this is perfect timing. I've been mentally planning my next novel, and I need to get editing my current one. I like putting details for every separate idea in their own journal, so this is great! (I have more ideas than I have time/space for writing them all down. :D)

And to go with everything above, a super fancy Sabrina Soto pen! My parents were actually super envious, since it's so comfortable to write with. I love funky pens. ^_^ And Camp NaNoWriMo is write (haha!... okay, sorry) around the corner.

SUPER FLUFFY RAINBOW YARN! :D It's so soft and fluffy. ^_^ I'll definitely have to make a warm scarf with it... after I finish 's. I haven't forgotten! I'm just slow. :'D

And last, but not least, something to show my love of Florida: Puffy, glittery, bejeweled Florida stickers. :D I've heard their residents are the best.

Everything together:

You are the best, ! I remember us talking about how nervous you were for your box, and girl, you had nothing to worry about. You seriously made my day. Thank you so much, bb! <333333333333

yay!!! that is a super box two!! you did a great job!! :D

oh I am so glad it got to you so fast!! yeah!! so happy you like everything in it! I saw the manatee and I was like, oh I need this. They are well known here in the Tampa area.

I was so nervous, but so glad you like it all!! I feel all proud now! lol

thanks sweetie!! blushes

did u kno sarasota has the worlds oldest captive manatee

yes I did. and they had a hoax going around I think last year that he passed away. omg, the outrage.

AHHH, THANK YOU SO MUCH! I'm so excited to try all these candies and ramen and soap and MUSIC! ^_^

I was out of town so I had my friend hold the box for me. She just dropped it off on her way to work. :)

First, I saw the box and I could SMELL it. It smelled SO GOOD. I opened the box and saw and was like OMFG I REMEMBER AND JOVI TALKING ABOUT THESE ON SKYPE AND THEY LOOKED DELICIOUS.

Underneath it was and I got even more excited because candy. ;_; And the source of the smell -- soap! I love lavender, but the sandalwood was what smelled so good through the box. I can't wait to try them! And then there is an mp3 player and I need to find the proper micro usb-type charger for it. I have a ton of those chargers, but they're somewhere in my closet, and my closet is currently a tetris of boxes, so this will be fun! :'D

All in all, Jovi is a fantastic box-sender, and I'm super excited for all of the foods!

Thank you!

P.S. no need to rush it's warm out now so scarves might be overkill??? :P

[edit] UGH, PICTURES, WHY YOU NO WORK

Yay, more people getting their boxes! :D (Although your pictures are broken for me. :() Yay, functional pictures! :D And oh, goodness, so much food I've never seen or heard of before. @ You'll have to report back on how it is.

And I figure I'll have it to you in time for winter 2015, so it'll all work out, yes? :'D

I hope if (? when ?) we do another exchange, you participate. I feel so lucky to have gotten you, and you're seriously so amazing. <3

aww...thank you sweetie. I am so glad you liked your goodies. I will say you were pretty easy to gift. You list made it pretty easy for me. I hope though that there was not too much cat hair in the box, since my cat found it before I could put things into it. I vacuumed it out just in case.

I will for sure participate again, this was real fun to do.

woohoo!! another box recipient! this is so exciting!

Oh man, after seeing the other exchange boxes (which are amazing - tea? and mi goreng?? it's impossible to go wrong with those) I was starting to get worried over mine, but I'm super relieved and glad you like it ;_; I hope the deco supplies will come in handy!

Thank you so so much for everything in there. I think I will be forced now to make cupcakes and cakes with some fancy icing on there. Which I know the girls will love. The book is awesome!! Thank you so much for that and for including my girls in the box too. The little snowman is just too cute. Once I get my new bookcase, he will be proudly on display. I do have to hide the my little pony from C2.....she will want it. I love those bookmarks. And you are right, who wouldn't want a little tree growing out of their book? :P Plus thank you for the handmade cards, those are just wonderful. I do have to hide the pens, the girls will "borrow" them from me.
