2. Don't flake on your partner, just like you wouldn't want your partner to flake on you. If you're unsure whether you'll have time/money to get a package together, don't sign up.
3. Bring it! Don't send out something crappy!
4. Homemade and/or store bought goodies are welcome.
5. This is an ALL VEGAN exchange.
Wow, what a ton of awesomeness!!
There's a full on storm here. So I will finish the package today but might not beable to send it til tomorrow or Friday, depending on weather...
Eek! It's the same here. I had planned on shipping out today, but I got stalled in Atlanta after doing another extras gig (a new Tyler Perry movie), and I didn't get home until just a bit ago. :P
There's supposed to be big thunderstorms/hailstorms (again) with nasty, gusting winds and possibly tornadoes. hoooray. ...So if I can, I'll get this package out tomorrow.
Sorry for the delay! I hope the contents make up for the slightly late delivery!
Oh, and hespy is awesome.
s'been said before, but it bears repeating.
yay for packages!!! i'll post pics of mine laterrr (if i dont eat all of it first!) also, i sent mine out today.

Wow, awesome packages hespy (dandies and Vegan Scoop---no fair!), and abrimmer (MOCHA BATH SALTS and hand crafted jelwery!---AWESOME!!!) I love picture time!!!
I sent out today, I ended up making the not-so-difficult choice to buy some extra goodies as opposed to sending the cookies I made Sunday and Monday....it just would have been asking for trouble, and poor Taj got to sacrifice himself and eat them instead. But, I still think/hope my person will be excited with all the yummy store-bought treats. I love you giftee! Hope you get it soon!
Gosh, I love exchanges and looking at all the pictures! Yay!
All sent!
I now hope hope hope that the baking survives the journey... eeeeeek!
Wow, NICE box hespy!! See, I totally knew you had nothing to worry about! :) It's sooooo much fun to see everyone's package!!
Everyone's packages are AWESOME by the way, just had a peek through all the pictures... vegwebbers are so lovely :)
i know i have major gift anxiety. and i'm worried about the one thing i made going bad.
No worries, man! The rice krispies are totally crispy!
And nothing melted.
I also may have gained a few pounds within hours of receiving your package.
;)b
The power was off last night when I got home, then it flickered on and off several times over the next couple of hours, totally putting me off attempting to finish making my jelly and biscotti. Sooooooo... I played sickie from work today so I could get things done. :P The feijoa jelly is cooling now, and it is fabulous!! 8) Will post tomorrow. Whew.
i wish i had more time to include non-food component things. btw, those things are peanut butter cups and turtles. they are made by a company that my professor in college owns (and i worked with once).
oh yeah, i eventually noticed the label on the bottoms.
and i, um, love the foody nature of the package. :DDDDDD
The post office was closed when I got out of work last night so I will mail my package this morning BEFORE I go to work.
I'm glad. I seriously was like "ahhhh... what am i gonna DO?! fb llives in LA and has access to everything that i have access to and also cooks all the time and is like super vegan in trying products and stuff"... i'm happy you like it :)
yay!! my awesome package from amy!!!
http://i970.photobucket.com/albums/ae186/theveganizer/DSC02548.jpg
she sent me alfalfa sprout seeds and a sprouter and directions on how to sprout, a ton of cute little easter eggs with annie's gummy bunny's and swedish fish eggs! and these snapea crisps that i was a little scared of at first, but haven't stopped eating once i tried them, 2 really cute purple loofahs, 2 cute notepads, magnetic clips, a ton of green easter decoration (possibly my favorite part) and the sweetest not ever!!! oh and there might have been 2 cookies in there and i might have eaten them already woops!!!
Everyone is so creative with their gifting. I am so impressed. I may have a gift giver inferiority complex. :o I mailed my package out this morning and the post office man said about three days...so I guess Monday probably. I soooo hope my person likes it. **crosses fingers**
awww vh that is awesome!
I really hope my package doesn't take forever to get to it's destination... : /
yay vh glad you like it! those cookies are bomb... like an orgasm in your mouth... i inhale them too... i'm glad i was able to compose myself and keep them for you lol
Oh man oh man oh man, I am not good at this gift exchange thing. (Need more practice!) I WILL post my stuff tomorrow. I wanted to post it today, but one of the items required some waiting, and picking up later, at one of the stores in the mall where I work. But I finish work after the post office closes. Thank goddess it is open tomorrow. I will make a good job of boxing up my package tonight, and post it tomorrow, (merely) three days late. ::) :-[
