RE: Extras

I have no qualms about passing on things which aren't my cup of tea, but a partner would appreciate more. Please, please, please feel free to do the same with something I've sent you.

But, just because you send "extras" doesn't always guarantee that I will rate you with a heart. I give hearts for extra special packages, or extras that are obviously tailored to me. If it's just whatever thrown into the envelope, than I won't rate a heart.

Please No

Hi thank you for the RAK postcards you sent me! :-) I don't actually collect postcards anymore but i will send them on as a RAK to someone else. Thank you for thinking of me though, it was a lovely thought! :-D

Thank you for the package of goodies you sent for the Edibles wta 17. You were right about the Pocky, it doesn't taste like pumpkin at all, but it is very good. ^-^

Thank-you so much for your most generous package from the Edibles group WTA...the coffees and teas are delicious!

Thank you very much for angeling the "Favorite Candy Swap". My boyfriend and I are going to enjoy what you sent immensely! The chocolate bars, the cappuccino (for him) and we'll both eat the sour gummy worms. Thanks so much.

Thank you so much for your generous surprise package for the WTA #14 in Edibles Swappers group! I'm so happy of all of these hot chocolate sachets I've received. :) I love peanut butter cups so much that those disappeared into my mouth right away! I have to be a bit more patient with the hazelnut butter and pistachio chocolate bar, because I want to share it with my boyfriend. He loves anything with pistachios. But of course I had to taste one of the four pieces already. :) It was so good! Thanks!

Thank you so much for the Edible Swappers WTA #13 goodies! I love everything especially the pretty tea towel. Thanks again!
