Yayyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!! I'm so so so glad you like it!!!!:dance:

And I totally didn't realize that you put your real name with your address, so I was like "wait, why does it start with a name and end with numbers?" Dur:dunce:

I actually got the rhinestone letters last minute as I was looking for confetti. Pink and sparkely w00t!

Oh, before I forget, the shell is supposed to hold the smaller tea light candles. Just so you know;)

Polekitten!! I felt so bad because a few hours after I posted I looked it up and saw it was on it's way to deliver to you. :/ I was like, "Gee I'm a tard!"

The photos that are signed are really vintage 40s cards that were for advertising and the photos that are of the girls in bikinis are actually PEEPSHOW CARDS! They used to be in those one cent peepshow slides. :D They're originals from 1920! :D I thought they were cool.

Also, yes, that IS a cat necklace. Your kitty has to look posh too! :P

*whew* I was so terrified you wouldn't like your stuff. I got it at antique shops and second hand places and Etsy and was like, "wtf I feel weird buying second hand gifts" :D

ok, so i brought my bucket something they wanted from their wishlist which was something from that weird esty.com website (is it just me, or does esty sound like a disease?) anyways, i brought it like 2 weeks ago, and its only JUST been sent. GRRRRR


sorry bucket, seems like you may not even get it by the first now :(

I took some photos last night but I can't find the stupid card reader to load them up. Betty was wearing her cat necklace last night and looked very pretty but by this morning she managed to get it off. That girl has no taste!::)
Me and the bf made pancakes last night with the whisk and spatulas and I used the egg thingys to make them in heart and bear shapes!! I took pics of all this and will load them up as soon as I find my card reader!
(Along with boobie pics of course.)

So, somebody please help me!! Who, if anybody, is in charge of the gift exchange right now? I desperately need to contact my bukkit recipient anonymously and for reasons I can't explain, Elfster won't work.

Take me to your leader!!

I've been having trouble with elfster too. I had to go through my email and click on the invite to log in, because if I just went straight to the website my username and password don't work/:O

About 45 minutes ago, I got a knock on the door. It was the FedEx guy, and behind him on the stairs was a HUGE box addressed to me. Now, this box was not only big but it was GORGEOUS. The beautiful person who drew my name put so much effort into decorating this! I immediately went to pick it up and it was quite heavy.. LOL

I really need to calm down a bit before I post everything that was in this beautiful box, because I've been sitting here literally crying from the shock and sheer happiness that my Bucketer sent to me. Everything this box contained had a little note, and every thing was so thoughtful! My Daughter has never seen me cry from being happy, so she wants to send something to you! We're going to the store in a bit, so expect something very soon!

I'm going to make a post later complete with pictures and a list of everything that was in this awesome package, but I had to let everyone know that this person rocks so hard!

Thank you, Joy To The World! I have been so incredibly negative lately, and this has brought me so much happiness. I'll never be able to put it into words.

More to come later!

K.. Had a bit of time to calm down.. LOL

Pictures are below, but inside the box was:

*An awesome Beach Towel that has pockets.. And it's GREEN! My Fave color!
*Sidewalk Chalk
*A really cute Fishy shower puff
*Monkey Sunglasses, they're so adorable!
*Seahorse Puppet Washcloth
*A pack of water balls. We'll all have fun pegging Dan with them!
*Scented Bubbles!
*A really gorgeous pair of Flip Flops--I LOVE them!
*Ladybug magnet
*Pack of Ice Pop Makers
*A drink Cozy
*A Beautiful Huge Beach Tote
*Watermelon Shopping List pad that I can stick right on the fridge!
*A Fly Swatter that says "Gotcha!" when you swat something with it! LOL
*Water Balloons!
*A pack of Balloon Lollipops
*Two Beautiful Bookmarks (1 Says "Believe", and the other "I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once" LOL
*2 Packs of Straws (1 pack is party straws the other Crazy straws!)
*Icicle Sticks Icepop Maker Kit
*Awesome Watermelon Ice Cube tray
*Carnations
*A Strawberry Daiquiri candle
*Coffee! (Community Coffee!)
*Nikon D80 Digital Field Guide Book
*Lindt White Chocolate Truffles! <3
*"Sweeney Todd" on DVD!
*A Pack of Microwave popcorn to enjoy while watching the movie!
*A container of Popcorn Seasoning, if I want a Nacho cheese flavor...mmm!
*Sims2 Kitchen & Bath Interior Design Stuff CD!
*"The Best Of Andrea Bocelli: Vivere" CD <3
*Daughtry CD
*A beautiful wooden recipe box--and it's not empty! JTTW took the time to write out some of her favorite recipes on pretty cards for me--Including a recipe for "Dirt Cake", which she included all of the ingredients for in a separate pail!

And this is something that absolutely got to me. One of my all-time favorite scents in the world was "Cotton Blossom" at Bath & Body Works. A few years back when I'd gone in to get some, they said that whatever they had left on the shelves was all there'd ever be. They were discontinuing it. So I've basically been boycotting them ever since and have not gone in there in forever. I noticed some lotions and body spray named "Sea Island Cotton", so I figured I'd open it up and take a whiff. It IS Cotton Blossom, under a different name! Not only did Joy get me a set of 5 things in the scent, but now I know where to get more! It's back and I'm so happy! She got me a Bottle of the Body Splash, Shower Gel, Bubble Bath, Body Lotion, and Body Cream!

~Everything had a little note on it, it was so personalized and I could tell that so much thought went into every little detail!~

I said it once, but I'll say it again. You really made me so happy, and I've been smiling all day! Your thoughtfulness will always be remembered, and I'm never throwing the box away--it's too pretty! You totally spoiled me, and I hope that you receive as awesome as a package as you sent to me. Keep an eye out for a "Thank You" package from my Little Girl and Me. She wanted to thank you for making her Mommy so happy!

Rhiannon

A couple pictures of all the stuff..

ETA: I was putting some of the stuff in the bag, and I noticed something in the pockets. There were some packs of Kool-Aid, and 5 packets of seeds, so I can plant a variety of pretty things! Thank you again!

i didn't really read the thread because i haven't gotten my bucket yet. so i can officially say now:

WHAR IS MAH BUCKITT!??!?!?!?!

my person said it was sent out on the 16th and it should be here "within a week" but it's been two weeks now. i hope thar was no buckit theft! I WILL BE ANGERED [email protected]!%@#@

additionally:

i sent my bucket out to my walrus on tuesday. it was supposed to get there by today. i hope it did. i'm a little worried. i caught hell at the post office and had to change the way everything was packed. apparently i HAD A SUSPICIOUS PACKAGE. >_<

sooooo........ the way i had to wind up packing it was very loose and non-awesome. i'm gonna go back to the post office and shake an angry finger at the woman there if anything happens to my walrus' bucket. :( i'm also worried they won't like it... because i kind of wanted to surprise them/go a little off beat with it. i read like, a million of their posts and tried to do my best.

Cool. PM'ing you.

Note: The problem is not with Elfster. Elfster works fine, just not for contacting mah bukkit gal. To explain more would give away too much. :D

^ Did you send it Australia Air or the really cheap one? You should always send it Air or it tends to take aWHILE

StrawberrySwitchblade
06-01-2008, 12:17 AM
My bukkit removed her address, and hasn't responded to any e-mails I sent her. :(

Lysondra
06-01-2008, 12:18 AM
Didn't remove address. Elfster automatically does that.

StrawberrySwitchblade
06-01-2008, 12:21 AM
No, I went to get the addy a couple days ago and it was gone.

Lysondra
06-01-2008, 12:26 AM
Yes... because Elfster automatically removes it a week before hand because it assumes you should've sent your present by then.

StrawberrySwitchblade
06-01-2008, 12:35 AM

Lysondra
06-01-2008, 02:35 AM
About 1-2 weeks, usually. You should've been giving a tracking number for that as well.

oh really? to my knowledge i didnt recieve a tracking number. if i dont hear from my bucket this week i will go to post office to see wats goin on /:O

Lysondra
06-01-2008, 06:17 AM
There are three slips when sending the package. The slip for the office, the slip for the package and the slip you should've gotten when you shipped it. In the corner is the tracking number.

Ok Lys, here are the pics finally. Sorry it took so long, I couldn't find my card reader for the life of me then I was in London for 3 days. Now I'm back hers some pics. :) I used the egg mould thingys to make heart shaped pancakes! Thats a pic of me making them with my pink spatulas and whisk. I've managed to get frames for 2 of the vintage post cards and I'm still lookng for the others. Doncha think Betty looks cute in her necklace!
