    Gah! Sorry I'm so late posting! I'm terrible about remembering to check the mail...especially since we got a ton of snow over the past week and my mailbox has been almost inaccessible!

    Thank you SO much @AprilFool: for the tea and the koala ornament! I think it's so cool that my gifts came all the way from Australia. I am thrilled to add more tea to my stash and can't wait to hang the ornament on our tree!

    @Smurfette: I'm glad it arrived on time. I was worried about it getting held up in customs. I hope the tea's yummy!

    I'm late with a pic, but @mrs.bird gave me the sweetest gift set with a make ahead cookbook (I LOVE COOKBOOKS) and a BEE spoon rest!! There were a few other goodies like a spoon and hot mitt but.... LO has requisitioned them and hidden them (along with my silicone muffin cups, one of our remotes, my brush, and a bottle of saline...)

    I was going to wait until Christmas to open since my gift was so pretty, but I want to join in and don't want @cole: to think I didn't get it

    I love it! I make old fashioned cake pops and have always wanted to try this way, I can't wait! I'm so excited to make some for lo's birthday party next week and then again for Christmas. Thank you thank you (: (:

    I am being a horrible gift receiver, but I cannot find the pics I took of my gift! I *know* I took them on my phone, but I must have deleted them? :'(
    I got some incredibly beautiful napkins from @silver1:. I hosted a dinner at my house and got to use them this weekend - the picture of the setup I did is one of the missing pictures.
    I love them so so SO much - thank you!!!

    I attached a stock photo

    @lovehoneybee: You're welcome! You said you collected coffee mugs and you're a photographer so I thought this would be a good lil addition. Hopefully, you don't have it already and get to use it sometime!

    Apologies for the major delay, I keep forgetting to upload a photo whenever I'm near wifi!

    The lovely @hellocupcake gifted me a picture frame (which is perfect because we just got our family photos done), a Target gift card (yay! I'm going to buy a cozy polka dot sweatshirt I've had my eye on), and one more "undeniably awesome" gift - a Starbucks gift card! This lady knows me well!

    Here's a photo of me enjoying the delicious peppermint mocha I bought with my gift card:



    Thanks @hellocupcake!
