Halloween Exchange Sent/Received thread (Complete!)

[MrsPinup]

You are welcome Wendy! You live only 5 minutes away from me Sorry it arrived a few days late. With the moving everything was crazy around here. I made the headband and hopefully it wasn't too squished from the packing. Happy Halloween!

 

[MrsPinup]

How's your DS doing?? Is his mouth healed? That sounded so painful.

I know how super busy you are right now, but when you get a chance, we'd love to see those pics. That's my favorite part, seeing all the arrivals.

Hopefully today We finally got internet hooked up at our new home. Have I told you all how busy I am lol. I am on the PTC board at my kids school, run a bible study, mentor high school kids, volunteer, and work. Phew! My weeks are exhausting lol

Headed to the mall with my DH and we returned there was a package at my front door! Its from Kerri, AKA pixiewings and it was nicely loaded with fun halloween stuff! yay!! here are some pics!
The box when I first opened it...

Hand towel and pot holder,so cute! already in my kitchen!

Cute pair of socks with a cute Goofy pin, love it!

Cute stuffed pumpkin and skull, will be cute in my living room...

Cute skull cup filled with ALL my favorite candy!

Some cute assorted toys!

Halloween body stencils and some lip balm! nice!

Last, but not least...some glow bracelets! Im taking these to DL when I go next month for sure!

Thank you again Kerri for such an awesome box, totally made my day!

I'm glad you liked it all!!! I still feel like there just wasn't as much out around here this year......I sort of feel like I short changed you! LOL I loved the socks and I hoped like crazy you didn't have that pin, we don't have any Goofy pins hanging around, well we had that one but that was it. All the others we had were in sets. I even went to the Disney Store to try to find a cute stuffed Goofy but there wasn't anything there either....I was bummed. I'm glad you liked it though!!!! Thanks Cathy!!!

My package arrived today !!
It's from Cassidy Walker - pixiewings71
My pictures are coming one at a time because I forgot how to get them all on one post.
What a great package I received. Thanks you so much Cassidy !!!!

I love the socks. I'll be wearing the Halloween ones to DL in 2 weeks. and the mac and cheese are so cool. !!!

Aren't those funny/cute socks? LOL I did the Kraft House Party and got a bunch of socks, I had too many pairs so I asked the girls what they thought and they said that yes, I should send a pair to you and Cathy. LOL I can't wait to wear my mac n cheese socks. LOL

This pin is a perfect addition to my collection. Jiminy is my fav character !
Thanks again Cassidy for all the great stuff !!!!

I wasn't sure if you had that pin or not.....if you do feel free to trade it, it is 100% authentic. I wish I'd had more pins to give you guys but of course the characters that you like we didn't have many of. lol figures that would be the case. lol

Thanks Tracey!!





Cute! My DD Noelle would love those socks. She collects fun and funky socks like those Mac and Cheese ones.

Beth I have more, let me know if you want a pair for Noelle, I'd be happy to send them your way.

Okay, so I didn't participate in this exchange even though I really wanted to. As I said before, the timing was just off for me with Ruben's surgery and some other personal things going on which made me unsure if I'd be able to shop & send on time.

Anyway, Rochelle had posted a pic on Facebook of a really cute tote bag that had a bunch of different characters on it and I mentioned how I'd love to have one of those.

Well, she sent me one along with a few other bits of "pixie dust"!!
She sent me the tote, a very nice letter, a Mickey pen, a Hello Kitty chapstick, little crown hair clips, a flower barrette, and the cutest Mickey scarecrown antenna topper. (it's really too cute to actually use on my antenna!!!)

Thank you so much Rochelle! Even though I wasn't able to do the exchange it was so nice to find something fun and cheery waiting for me in the mailbox.

Super cute Beth!!!! You totally deserve it!!

Deuce got his package yesterday. It was from Jade, Pixiewing11 dd(10). He said to tell you thank you!!!!!! The card was so cute, she told him she hoped he got lots of treats to fill his tummy. He loves the spider!! He's been trying to figure out exactly where to put it out to decorate. He opened one of the package of silly bands and gave half to Aerial, that was sweet and he gave me one since it was an odd number of them. Here are the pictures. They are with my phone, so sorry if they didn't come out too well.

YAY!!! I'm glad he liked it. I saw that spider and thought for sure he'd go for that one. LOL I hope he liked the one eyed monster, I thought it looked similar to Mike Wazowski. Tell him Jade says "You're welcome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" LOL

Oh the silly bandz, Jade and I didn't think he'd like the rings so we took those out. lol Then Jade had actually picked the Skelanimals and one other pack for herself but when she went thru them she thought he would like them too so she sort of went thru and picked out ones she thought he would like. I sent them in the packages so he would know what they were but they aren't all there. Just thought you might want to know.

 

[pixiewings71]

I am on the PTC board at my kids school, run a bible study, mentor high school kids, volunteer, and work. Phew! My weeks are exhausting lol

How ever do you do it?!?!

Beth I have more, let me know if you want a pair for Noelle, I'd be happy to send them your way.

What a sweet offer Kerri. I'm sure she'd love a pair if you have extras.

Super cute Beth!!!! You totally deserve it!!

Thanks!! I knew she was sending the tote, but the little extras were a pleasant surprise.

I bought that same tee for Hannah! It's really cute. I love the black skirt too. I might have to go back and get that as well.

 

[mommaU4]

GREAT exchanges so far!!! I am loving seeing all the goodies, and fun things everyone is getting.

There are 2 packages that I am pretty sure are on the way..... I think the senders are just busy, so I'll go ahead and mark them as sent unless I hear otherwise.
And there are 6 more packages to be recieved! Can't wait!!

Absolutely Beth, just PM me or FB me with your address and I'll send a pair or two. Most people didn't want them so I have enough to share. LOL The black skirt is sooooooooooooo cute, our Target didn't have those either!!!! lol It's all tulle with silver dots and stars on it, it's sooooooooooo CUTE!!!!!

Glad you loved it, Kerri!! I had fun picking everything out!!

I did Courtney, and you know what, Cass didn't even try to steal the HM Bride figure you sent.....LOL Now that's love!

I want that Haunted Mansion black widow bride!!!! Is that at DL?

I love that sign!! Those retro signs are so fun. Where did you find it Jen?

I found it from a dealer at Antique Trove - it is this really neat store near my house. People rent out cubicles and sell their antiques or crafts there. I can spend hours in there! This same dealer had vintage Halloween garland (the paper ring kind) that I had to buy for myself.

Oh darn. I should've known it was too cute to just walk into Target and find a bunch of them. It's really neat. I love retro things like that. Good find!!

Thanks again.

I got my package today from Tracey!! Thanks so much!! I love everything and the girls esp Katy is going to LOVE all the baking stuff!! She is my little chef in training!!

I posted a pic on FB because my reg camera has a bunch of other pics and I am not ready to download them yet because we have two more things next week (girls performance at school and shelby's piano recital). I wasn't sure how to upload a photo from my phone onto here so I put it on FB. If anyone is a guru and knows how to copy it onto here that would be awesome otherwise I think most of us are on there.

But anyway she got me that same cute bag from the Disney store that a lot of you got and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. I wanted that So bad! Thank you Tracey!!! Then I got a bunch of fun baking stuff for cupcakes or cakes. Fun halloween sprinkles and cupcake holders as well as the same cookie cutters I think Laurie may have gotten. SO cute!!

I also got a few body art tatoos that the girls are going to LOVE! And a cool halloween soundtrack, another one of the bags with Tink on it as she is my FAV character!! And I am probably forgetting some stuff but the only thing NOT in the pic was a cute little princess antenna topper that I gave to mom because my car doesn't have an antenna but she likes them and collects them so she loved it

Thanks again Tracey!! I can't wait for the girls to get home they will be so excited!!

I got my package today from Tracey!!

See if this works.....Kelly's exchange from Tracey:

 

[mommaU4]

OKay, I got confirmation that the last packages were sent. I figured they had been, but now it's official. We have a great group and in all our exchanges we've never had anyone not follow through. So, all packages are on their way. Should have lots of arrivals soon!!
