This year my package came from Alica who blogs at Happily Married to the Cows. She is from Pennsylvania!
When I opened my package I found a letter telling me about herself and her family and the special meaning behind each item.
She spent the time to find stuff that not only I would like but that were personal to her and her area or that had a tie to her family and friends!
Inside there was:
Coffee: This coffee was roasted by a friend of her family. It is delicious! I'm enjoying a cup as I write this post!
Chocolate Goat: Yes I said a Chocolate Goat!!!! She knew that I showed goats and who doesn't love chocolate!! It is so cute and I hate to eat him. This was made by her cousins family candy business.
Stroopies: These are thin cinnamon waffle cookies that have caramel in the middle and dipped in chocolate. Can you say YUM!!! They are delicious!! They go great with a hot cup of coffee. They were made by another cousin's business.
Greeting Cards: Theses cards were made by her daughter. She took the photos that are on the front of each card. I love to write letters to people so these are perfect.
Post Cards: She included 4 post cards that represent her state. 2 include recipes one for Whoopie pies and shoo-fly pie and the other 2 show Lancaster county and Amish Country.
Potholder and Dish Cloth: The pot holder was made from quilt squares from her mom and the pot holder was handmade by Alica!!
I was very happy with all of my gifts and the opportunity to make a new friend from Pennsylvania!! If you haven't already go check her blog out and give her a follow!
This year I sent my package to Texas! I sent mine to Kristin who blogs at Rice Roundup definitely go check out her blog as well.
So much of this looks perfect for you! That goat is adorable, I don't know if I could eat him either :) And those cookies - I think everyone got something caramel this year and I could just eat it all! Glad to have you back again this year participating, thanks for joining in the fun!
