The Motherload!

 I came home on my lunchbreak today and what was awaiting me on the porch?
Not one, but TWO packages!! Yee-haw!
EXCITEMENT!
While I was expecting them both, I didn't expect them today or on the same day.
Anyway....the first package was from Katie at Making Food and Other Stuff. Katie's an ex-Wisconsinite turned Arizonan, who has a food blog. She had a giveaway and I WON!!
What did I win? I won homemade "Heather-ized" Oreo cookies.
She made them from the Allergen-Free Baker's Handbook.
She also included a homemade coffee cozy. Awww....LOVE it :)
Ok, Katie, I completely understand your lack of willpower when eating these cookies! They are SO GOOD!
Check out the coffee cozy, which was put to immediate use :)
Second package was from the hubbs in Seattle. I guess he's trying to indoctrinate us into the Seattle way before we even get there!
In the bag is a Seattle blanket. He also got Trinity and me matching Seattle hats and shirts. You can be assured there will be a picture coming with us in our new threads. She's at school right now, so when I pick her up I'll surprise her with her new stuff, including the sucker and a bracelet I forgot to add in the picture.
Cute, no? Thanks, Honey. LOVE YOU!!
It's turning out to be a pretty darn good day. Fun mail always helps-especially when there are no bills, either!

  3. Fun mail is the best. I've actually been trying to send a card/package every couple of weeks to different friends in order to share the mail love.

    I was craving those cookies after seeing them on Katie's blog and now, after seeing them on yours, am really craving them!

  4. There's nothing like getting homemade cookies in the mail. Really, it's just cool to get something that's not a bill. ;)
