My secret swap revealed!


It was with great excitement that I opened my Secret Swap package kindly sent to me from Julie at Abbily Ever After. She sent my favourite peppermint patties just for me and yes I had to eat one before I got the camera out to take the photograph! Also enclosed was a jigsaw puzzle that certainly has us puzzled! We can get eight squares to match but just can't get the nine to match up. Ahhhh, I spent way too much time trying to succeed! Even the card Julie sent me was homemade, now I wonder which talented blogger made that? Thanks Julie for sending me a nice package.

spare time or is deadly at Scrabble.
(Wait till you see the last one)!

The Mother-in-Law one went out under the assumed it was name of Noel Coward just a little few years ago!!! Love

It's not quite the same but on predictive text on mobile phone sms 'daughter' is also 'fatigues' or 'fatiguer'.

Now I'm not saying that means anything but...

Julie said...

I'm so glad it arrived - that was super fast - just mailed on Friday! Glad you enjoyed the patties - save them for yourself! : ) And yes, I couldn't not include a special card from the wonderful Emma. Those puzzles drive me a bit batty too - I have to have my husband help me.

Those are crazy! I think that can be done with your name too - and its suppose to be something prophetic.

I don't mind being a grandma, but I hate that mother-in-law title. Makes me feel like a schmuck.

These peppermint patties are fascinating.. are they a bit like Bendicks, or are they more like Fry's?
