As I mentioned earlier, my swap package from Lynn (mtmind) arrived today and it was fabulous.
First was a wonderful letter from Lynn, in the neatest envelope, which I am sure she crafted herself. I think it is so neat and I might just borrow your idea since it was just so colorful and different looking (yes, little things like that make me happy).
Lynn, I was looking at the pictures you included and I thank you for that, they brought a big smile to my face. I was studying the one with all three dogs sitting down and trying to find the differences between them so you can easily tell them apart, and I did find some. They are beautiful!
And I will keep my fingers crossed (and say a few prayers too) for your upcoming situation. I wish you the BEST! Thank you for your prayers for me as well.
Now, on with the box contents:
An adorable FLY SWATTER wtih a huge pink flower on it! This will make for some fun bug swatting.
A springtime OUTDOOR FLAG for my flagpole.
Two BUG & GRILL SCRUBBER TOWELS.
Two nice and heavy stainless steel TONGS. (I have been wanting a good set of tongs and now I have two; mine are just from the dollar store and NOT very strong at all and I love to use them when I am grilling. -- These are perfect.)
A FOOD TENT.
A HONEYDEW CANDLE.
Container of WEBER GRILL CREATIONS DRY RUB, Burgundy Beef flavor. (I have NOT tried this flavor, but am now looking forward to it, I even liked the recipe on the container, minus the mushrooms.)
Jar of Dinosaur WANGO TANGO Habanero Hot Barbeque Sauce. (This and the next are Lynn's daughter's favorite and are local to Lynn.)
Jar of Dinosaur MOJITO Marinade & Dressing. (This wil be tried very soon as it looks very good.)
A very pretty red, white and blue PIN, NECKLACE & EARRING set. (Lynn says that I can wear this for Memorial Day, 4th of July and Labor Day to pamper myself with. What a great idea, knowing me I would have just worn them on the 4th of July since they are red, white and blue, never thinking how correct you are that they can be worn for the other holdidays too.)
An adorable set of four PLASTIC PLATES and matching BOWL, wtih some plastic SILVERWARE to match. (I think the little MONKEY on them is just adorable.
A big PINK FLAMINGO bowl and matching smaller PINK FLAMINGO bowl. (Lynn made the Flamingos the theme for my box since she loves flamingos!)
And, not one, but TWO cookbooks! One is called BEST BURGERS and is loaded with all different types of burger recipes. (I think I might just have a burger week soon since it has recipes for hamburger, pork, turkey, chicken, etc. )
The second cookbook is the TOH BACKYARD GRILLING book. (I have only had a chance to quickly glance through that, but it looks like it will be used often! I can't wait till I have more time to read it!)
Again, THANK YOU SO MUCH LYNN! I love it! It was wonderful to have you as my BBQ swap partner and I will think of you every time I BBQ!
Happy Mother's Day to you!!!!!
Take care!
