Thank you ever so much Corkee, and you have yourself a very Merry Christmas.

Now I have to rearrange my entertainment stand to hold all of these.


You are so welcome Corkee.

And thanks to whomever just removed the Homer pic that was included with mommagibs message although maybe you should have left it there for all to see. Homer pointing at his A## .....Were you just showing us all were your brain is located? Ha, at least there is a ton of great people here. You only hurt yourself in the long run.

Ok what is this supposed to mean?? which of Life's Lessons do I have to learn? Since you don't know me I'm gonna go with assumption that your "dig" was aimed elsewhere, becuase this is certainly not what I am accoustomed to in the bowl and it is certainly not what I expected! but it is duelly noted, I get to go to walk around with a lump in my throat because I love the simpsons??
I guess my brian must be located in my A##, since I have no idea what your beef is with me!

I'm glad everyone is enjoying their gifts again this year.

A BIG thank you to StarDancer for the great gift!

First some pens (I've already started using one of them today!) and some stickers (perfect for letters) from her shop!

Then some face and foot gels/creams/masks to have a spa day and make myself beautiful!

And finally, the biggest surprise of all ... some memorabilia from an Elvis festival in Ontario!! Some posters, a program, a pamphlet and a pin!!! I JUST LOVE THEM!!!



Thank you so much for thinking of me and going out of your way to find me the Elvis things. I definitely won't be having a "Blue Christmas!"

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!! Stardancer, have a wonderful Christmas and a new year filled with luck, love, health and happiness!!

Luv,
Your fishie-cousin,
tweek

wow, thankyou so much to Quiltnanny who sent such an awesome gift!!! I got some yummy treats (mmm I love Turtles!), Laura Secord chocolates, a really sweet windchime with a robin that will definitely head outside this spring, perfect for my garden, and best of all and also outrageously gorgeous, a beautiful handmade quilt for hanging. This is so beautiful I had tears in my eyes when I opened it - what a lot of work went into it. I love it. Thank you so much.

Sorry bowl, but I just needed to vent a bit. But I think we all have had a wonderful day in here opening gifts. Thanks so much termit for making it happen. Being a 1st year person, I think I learned what to send for next year. I've met some great people in this bowl. Merry Xmas to all of you.

Wow! Honestly, this is one of the rudest, uncalled for posts. Mommagibs, rest assured that I was not in the least bit offended by your Homer (Duh!). This has been your avatar for a long time.

Daisy, you don't know Mommagibs - how dare you suggest her brain is located in her butt?

Being your first year, you may have learned what to send but you seem to have missed out on kindness, tolerance and grace. Sounds to me like you're the one hurting yourself in the long run. Might I suggest some reading: How to make friends and influence people. Seems like you need the lesson.

Don't want to turn this amazing thread into a flame so I'll shut up now. However Daisy, like Mommagibs stated, this has been duly noted.

Geesh, some people.

On a lighter note, huge thanks go to Termit for keeping it all together - you rock!

P.S. Mommagibs, have you tried the products yet?

Originally posted by lupey Well it's 7:35 am here so time to do the un-wrapping over coffee of course. Holy S**t! cthebear you are amazing! The stuff you sent was absolutely,so me! I loved every single gift! This is what I received from cthebear: a photo frame candle holder, 3 mooseheads (soap), an eyeore pez candy dispenser, a beautiful mini sunflower picture frame, a beautiful t-light cottage, a berry smelling candle (yummy) and pictures of a full mailbox with flowers! My absolute favorite one.........(drum roll)........ was the eyeore picture frame that you painted yourself!!! You are the BEST fishie friend a girl could have! Thank you so much for all my wonderful presents! I hope you like yours and will get as much enjoyment out of them as I know I'm going to with what you sent. Have a wonderful Christmas every one PS. Termit Thank you so much for organizing this great exchange. It was so much fun & I'm already looking forward to next year!

Evening Lupey,

First time I've managed to get on the computer since we could open the gifts (have to admit though, I opened mine at 9:30pm my time (which would've been 12:30am everyone else's time).

You don't know how timely the stress bath tablets are! And the bath stuff - wowzers! I just kept opening and opening... Can't wait to try out the mud soak! And the nail polish? Wow did you ever do good with that! Loved the colour (actually wore it to a birthday party on Sunday) it's so pretty! Thanks for the bath beeds - did you really drive all over (and to Barrie) just to find me the cubes?

You're one special lady!

Thank you soooo much!! I love pampering myself in the bathtub! And I'll definately be thinking of you!!

And the foot spa stuff - can't wait to use it on my tootsies! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

I had so much fun putting together your gift! When you said you liked picture frames & candles - I knew you'd like the frame & holder (I included the berry scented candle for it) all-in-one!

I had fun decorating the picture frame - knew you wouldn't have THAT one

Merry Christmas to all the other fishies in the bowl - and THANKS TERMIT, this has been so much fun and I can't wait to do it next year!!

I was wondering if there was some confusion with mommagibs and the "other" momma?
I think maybe an explanation and an apology is in order for mommagibs.
Just my 2 cents

I think that is exactly where the problem lies! I think Daisy figured how could this person (if it was Bigmomma) post what they get after not sending out something...

Yer so smart!

Merry Fishmas, my little fishies! I'm glad that you're all enjoying the exchange and the opening. It sounds like wonderful gifts are being received from all over the country. Congrats Termit on a job well done and good luck on the delivery on your little one!



On a more serious note, unfortunately I think there's been a misunderstanding between two fishies. Please, lets not get into a serious debate over who's at fault in this wonderful thread.

Daisy, just as a side note, Mommagibs has had that avatar for a long time now, I'm not sure why you made that comment, but Mommagib's avatar is nothing personal towards anyone here. Its just an avatar that she likes, nothing more than that.

I think that if any further discussion is required, maybe its a good idea for the two involved to take it to PM's to try and clear it up. Lets keep this thread joyful and remember the Spirit of Christmas!

Congrats to you all on a wonderful exchange and Best Wishes to everyone and their families!

Anyone know cc_2? I have been trying to contact her, but no response, hoping she enjoyed the gift I sent her. . . and of course hinting at the delivery of mine !!! Anyone else still waiting for a gift?

The bowl is right and I do owe this lady a huge apology. I was getting the 2 mixed up. I was thinking it was the lady that got the gift and didn't send her gift out. A HUGE apology is owing . I will be send an apology to this lady today but wanted the bowl to know that I realize my error and will be fixing it as best I can.

My sincere apologies to Mommagibs. I can't take back what I wrote in error for all to see but I can make the effort to apology.

Daisy.

Hats off to you Daisy to apoligize. I can understand if bigmomma posted her gift how it could make someone a bit upset. This fishie accepts your apology and hopes everyone else can too.

Merry Christmas Daisy

You are MOST WELCOME Tweek! and again I am thinking the SAME thing! You "spoiled" me rotten too! When
Termit paired the two of us up, she must have known we
would "hit it off" gift wise! Thanks to Termit for all her hard
work! And CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS ON THAT NEW BABY GIRL
SHE'S EXPECTING SOON! I am also passing the "Thank You"
on to the Lovely Lady in Collingwood who made that gift
possible! She has been waiting to see if you liked it or not.
TO ALL MY " - Cousins" Have A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!
and a HAPPY HEALTHY NEW YEAR !!! [this was FUN wasn't it?]

Star Dancer
