Wowzers! The postal service was incredibly good to me! (Maybe all my grumbling has finally paid off! ;D) Wait until you see the books, Divas! You'll put on pounds just looking at them...and every single ounce will be worth it! Have fun opening those packages, Divas! Thanks so much for all of your work, Gail! Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! |

 Ok, how is it that Texas and California have packages before I do? I'm literally 2 hours from Gail. The mail here seriously sucks monkey vomit. I finally got my Scrapyland package today. The one that shipped Novemeber 11. Really?

Well Michelle I'm in California and like u I haven't received my book. It's all good I can't wait to see all the wonderful pages everyone put together. 'Monkey vomit' hmmmm - I'm going to have to remember that one too funny! Never heard that expression. |

Ok, how is it that Texas and California have packages before I do? Michelle, I feel your pain...really! This is the first, and (knowing my mail service) probably the only time I'll be first in line! I was one of the very last Divas to get the first cookbook, so I was jaw-dropping amazed to see this package today! |

I don't begrudge you one minute for getting your packages quickly! I think I got spoiled in Boston. We got all of our mail so quickly. Maybe today is the day.

Oh, Gail! Thanks! The extras are amazing!!
I LOOOOOVE the book, ladies. I'm like Peterpan--I don't think the recipes actually registered until the 3rd or 4th time through. So many beautiful papers and embellishments assembled together so well! I'm thrilled to have this edition of the Divas Cookbooks! :-)

Glad you like your "extras" ladies.  I'll try not to be a spoiler for those who haven't received their packages yet, but: the wearable "extra" is from me, and the papercraft "extra" is from the lovely and talented Ms. Ana!!  Also please thank the equally lovely and talented Ms. Diane for assembling the covers for me to decorate - I couldn't do this without her!! Thanks, Diane! You rock!  Please keep in mind your wearable wasn't pre-washed, so wash it separately when the time comes, OK?? A few of the last books are heading out today, hopefully they will arrive by this weekend... Happy, Happy Thanksgiving!! I for one am grateful to be able to play with dear, talented, kind and funny friends like all of you! Gail PS Looks like Crockpot Recipes will be next!!  |

The one that shipped Novemeber 11. Really? Sorry Michelle,I didn't mean to be mean  I just got so excited when I came home from work to a package from Gail! I tore into that box like a wild woman. I couldn't get it open fast enough. LOL I really hadn't expected it so soon so it was a delightful surprise to say the least. I didn't even realize until after I posted that casunflower and I were the only ones who had received our books at that time. I can tell you everyone did an amazing job and no one will be disappointed. cat |

Hopefully the postal service was nice to some more of you today! I am convinced that there is absolutely no logic in their delivery schedule! I ordered 2 items separately from the same store for Christmas gifts, and the first one will be here after the Thanksgiving weekend, and the one that I ordered second will be here tomorrow. They were both shipped from the same place, and the second one left the store later than the first one...go figure! |

PS- ladies, I received my book today when I got back from the beach and WOW! Great job everyone. The cover is so cute. I have it on the table beside me and have looked thru it several times.
Thank you Gail for hosting the swap and putting the books together for us.

"Oh my goodness" I am speechless! I think this is one of the best swaps! Thank you for the extras! I felt special tonight when I got home! I saw the name on the return address and thought, is this one of Ana's orders? (my daughter). Everyone did a great job, I don't know which one to make first! Thanks again!
I would love to do a crockpot recipe next but I do have chocolate too!
