SoAB, sure spoiled me!



IT'S HERE!!!!!!!!!! IT'S HERE!


I want to thank my spoiler from the bottom of my heart. I can tell from what you sent that you not only took an effort to send me things I'd like, you took an extra effort to remember my children....they are my heart & it tickled them to death, so it made me even happier!


This swap has been an education for sure for me. I never knew that people could receive packages in the way that my spoilee did, and I for sure didn't know that a spoiler could hit someone dead on the head right with what they sent! Girl, were you inside my head???


Not only did I scream with glee, but Supergirl & Wonderboy did too! I thought I would be strong enough to wait until Christmas so that I'd have something to open, but I COULDN'T!! I was so weak! And of course the children are like me they begged to open what she was thoughtful enough to send to them! (Did I mention how MUCH it means that you sent to them too???)


my Spoiler sent me so much, and left me notes too! It means more than I can say in my words that you took such time and put such effort into putting such a grand package to me!

YUUUMMM-O!!! AWESOME!!!!! My spoiler hit me dead to rights! It's like she really knows me in real life! You went above & beyond!!!!!!!!!

I'm not too much for getting my picture made, so I had Supergirl & Wonderboy to do the honors......they were more than happy to do so!

my dear spoiler!!

I am so excited!!
tomorrow is the last day for me to wait for my package :)
I've been a good girl :) I can't wait..I hope it gets here by our Dec. 5th cut off date!
oh I can't wait! :) (:
it's widing down, and I was away for a week, so I am sure that's why it waited to the very end :)
this is my very first swap.....I hope it comes tomorrow.

it's winding down! :)

I have been apart of this little swap in the group Swap on a budget on Ravelry (of course) LOL and I sent my package out a while ago (you can read about that under my spoilee postings), and it's so exciting that I have SOMETHING coming to me!

I saved money from web work that I had done, etc. & sewed my little fingers down to the bone (not really), and was so happy to send off my box!!!

I have been patient....I am in no hurry.......the way I look at it, the closer to Christmas it comes the more it will be like a Christmas present to me :)

I'm excited to get to open something for me this year! I can't wait for it to come!

then there's the question............should I wait to open it until Christmas so that I can have something to open that day? Will I be able to wait??? OHHHH I don't know! It's going to be so hard to withstand the temptation of ripping into that box as soon as it comes here!!!

I will let you know when it gets here :)

I can't wait to see who it is that is my spoiler! I have no CLUE who it could be! There was one person I think it may be, but then again my spoiler has been so secretive!

I am soooooooo excited!

I wouldn't be surprised if you heard my girlish giggles & oooohhhhs and ahhhhsss when it gets here!

thank you so much, spoiler.....whomever you may be!
