Feel free to add any other info/facts you think might help your person put together the best package for you!
*GENERAL EXCHANGE GUIDELINES*
1. You must have been active on the forums for at least 6 months OR have 1,000 posts. If you've been here a while you're more likely to send out your package.
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.
I know I've already thanked you mirrya, but just wanted to say thanks again. We have polished off the cookies - so so delicious, and I treated myself on Friday and made pizza with non-barky nooch sauce on it....it really is so much better than the non-barky stuff.
I have ear marked 3 recipes from VOTC to make this week.
I had the nutty odwalla bar yesterday - so yummy!
Seriously everything is great <3
You're so welcome! I had actually brought a bag of those cookies and some other goodies with me to give to you when we were supposed to meet up in London. I remember being so disappointed when I couldn't find you at the train station. The cookies didn't survive the plane ride very well and they were pretty broken up but still would've been delicious. A few of the treats I sent you were duplicates of what you should've received 18 months ago.
How many people are left?

Ahh, my tracking information was updated yesterday afternoon - I think it might actually be on the way!
At least I know the package still exists!

waaaahooooo it arrived!!! : )
Erin is absolutely amazing and I have never seen such a huge box filled with awesomeness. Seriously!!
Bad news #1: it's 8:30 am and I don't have my camera at work with me so you have to wait till at least 6:30 pm till I get home and take photos.
Bad news #2: one of the Penzeys jars is smashed, but I'm gonna salvage as much as I can from the bottom of the box!
Good news: IT'S ALL AMAZING AND I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you thank you so much Erin, totally made my week! : )
Yay!!! But that sucks about the oregano - I knew I should have wrapped those spice jars...I just thought I packed them so tight that they'd be ok....lesson learned. I'm so glad it finally got there...I was so worried - 21 days in transit!!
whoa are you ready??
I was first greeted with this:

jealous of all the chillis but especially jealous of those pesky annatto seeds.
eta: the rest of the package is amazing and is so so perfect for oww!!
haha, I was just thinking that you are in luck again - last year I got my package from fb just before coming to visit you so you got to partake in peanut butter pretzels and now this arrives a few weeks before you come to visit us! : ) Leave some room in your bag when you pack to come up!
I was also thinking that you and Mr Oww, may be more appreciative of the queso mirrya gave me, given N's new found nooch intolerance.....nacho night when I come to visit?
make that a VIVA VEGAN FEAST NIGHT!!!!
I mean.... sure...
with Queso? Or will that be too scary for you? It says vegan right on the label.
haha, I ain't scared of no vegan cheese in a jar!!
*except for the bit of me that is super scared, but whatever
Don't be scared of it oww. It's good!! It makes the best nachos.
That is the perfect package! Probably because I gave a couple tiny little suggestions. ^-^ E and Oww are both the bests in their own little best domains. Yay for cookie and cupcake reviews!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, AC helped a lot when it came to the peppers and weird stuff in Viva Vegan - I tried to find as many as I could from the list that she gave me...
Don't be scared of it oww. It's good!! It makes the best nachos.
I'll be brave! It sounds delicious!
O.K., I'm going to TRY to get pics posted here of all the lovely goodies my sweet friend, bgs sent me!! Key word is try, lol! :)
Here are the last two pics, and notice the sweet Easter egg on my fridge from Kea!! That totally touched my heart! :)>>> Thanks again SOOOOO much, bgs! Love you!
great pics, abrimmer! : ) looks like a tasty haul.

I mentioned this to him and he got very excited about "mexican night the second" haha.
Hopefully it will not end with him passing out on the couch before we've even had dinner like mexican night the first! : ) I think less vodka on an empty stomach might help...
