I had a lot of fun planning for my Fall Swap buddy and waiting for my package to arrive. If you're curious, you can see some of the other swaps here.
So, here's a picture of what my buddy sent me in the mail.
Jill sent school supplies, a "canning" jar of candies, a Halloween pumpkin, an apple-cinnamon candle, and a Fall wall plaque. Her cute homemade card said:
"I love gearing up for school. My mom always cans food in the fall as a family tradition. I do now too...even though I ruin half of it.... I love decorating and dressing-up for Halloween, growing up we always had apple-cinnamon candles burning when we got home from school. I love the smell! And lastly, we always do a craft day with my friends & family - I made a little wooden plaque for you too!"
And here is what I sent to Tiffany.
Everything is wrapped in this picture (in lunch bags and scrapbooking supplies from our Ebay days), but my Fall Faves were Lehi Mills Pumpkin Cookie mix, Bath & Body Works "Look Ma New Hands" lotion, a yummy recipe for Corn Chowder, a book about how great mothers are, and a charm pack of cute fabric with a pattern for a jean quilt.
I had just as much fun planning my package as I did opening the one Jill sent!

Wasn't that fun? Though these are the times I wish I lived somewhere with a fabric/craft store. I wanted to make an apron and never got to civilization in time to get cute fabric. Your package was so cute. I sent mine off w/out taking a picture, but I included recipes for pumpkin pie waffles, tuscan tomato soup, maple glazed salmon, and sour cream apple pie; a bag of homemade carmel corn, a fall-scented candle, b&bw harvest apple lotion, carmel apple pops, a cute notebook, and a cozy fleece blanket. I saw another blog that had an antique swap--I thought that sounded fun. Did any of your Aussie family members participate?
Okay, I need all of those recipes. They sound delicious! It's not Thanksgiving in my house without some of your mom's Sour Cream Apple Pie. I have a lot of "antiques" in my DI pile that I could swap -- let me know if you're interested in any more mismatched shoes. We didn't have any swappers from Oz, but it's really hard to organize something like that when everyone is that far away. Hope you had fun on your trip. Sorry the BYU game was such a downer.
