WHATS IN THIS BAG?


WHAT'S IN THIS BAG?, originally uploaded by creativedawn.
MATCHBOX SWAP

Pictured above is a goody bag which is Kathie's response to our wonderful hostess KAI's MATCHBOX SWAP!  KAI hosted not just 1 swap, not just 2 swaps, but 3 swaps this past month!!!  Of course, I was forced, I mean compelled, I really mean participated in of my own free will!  Oh, who am I kidding, I am totally addicted to swaps.  More on the package I sent her.  You see, I thought this was such an easy thing to do, gather a few mementos and put them in a little matchbox.  You know, a little something that would compel a person to want to fly a plane, ride the train, drive a car, or sail a boat to vacation in your area.  For me that turned out to be a ... well more on that later.
Back to Kathie who can write...she wrote out a wonderful vacation brochure describing all the lovely attractions her area holds.  I admit to being late in posting my matchbox to her and by the time I had read and reread her brochure, it was taking all I had not to get in my car and simply drive to NY and deliver her swap in person.  So tempting...Ughhhhhh!
Now then....

Here's  a painted rock...my favorite, a ladybug...don't know how you knew...

There was one other thing in my package, a lovely glass jar with I LOVE NY written on it AND full of butterscotch candies ( ANOTHER WEAKNESS )  Did someone I know whisper in this woman's ear about me?   whewww.  Anyhoo, it isn't in the picture because someone here broke it!  But we still have some of those candies...
THANK YOU KATHIE for a wonderful package!!!!   THANKS KAI!  You are definitely the HOSTESS with THE MOSTEST!!!!!
