    She really put a lot of thought into this, I can't say thank you enough! Included were:
    A book about beer (soooo cool!!!!)
    A beautiful wooden bowl
    A magnet from New Zealand
    A New Zealand inspired tapestry covered in kiwis
    A New Zealand calendar (which is now hanging in my office! :) )
    A PJ20 sticker :D
    A beautiful tea towel
    A handmade brooch (second image) - It is simply gorgeous!!

    I am floored by all this...I've always wanted to go to New Zealand and now looking through those beaches in the calendar I want to go even more.

    Thanks so much for bringing a piece of your beautiful country to my home Tinkerbell!

    Merry Christmas to you and your family!

    I GOT MY PRESSIE!!!

    Thank you so much Stargirl69!! It's wonderful!

    I'm not on a computer at the mo so I can't put a picture up so I'll do a rundown;

    * A wonderful bag made from denim - so fun, I can't wait to use it!
    + A beautiful bracelet made of sea glass
    * A flower broach which I most definately wear
    * A laminated Canadian card which will be safely nestled between the pages of a book
    * 2 x Scottish fudge
    * 2 x Scottish Macaroon (actually there's only 1 left I've already eaten 1 :oops: )

    My parcel was full of hand-made surpises and just truly wonderful! Thank you so very, very much!

    :D:D:D:D

    Me too! I wish I were more creative with this- but I had a boy, so he probably isn't going to care :lol: Its easier to be creative with girls, I think.
