What a great way to encourage women all over the globe :)<br /><br />Thanks for sharing.<br /><br />SarahSarah @ Sugar Bananashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01808974251930031951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6218351927533931727.post-7976079841691702372010-06-26T00:59:27.125-04:002010-06-26T00:59:27.125-04:00Peggy, thank you for your kind words!

It was lovely getting to know you a little and so enjoyable packing a parcel for you. <br />But I must make sure that all the lovely goodies that you've sent over are mentioned :-)<br />Apart from the scarf, tortilla press, soap & chocolate bars I received two packets of fancy tissues. Can someone pls leave suggestions on how I can repurpose them? They are too nice to used only as tissues!<br />The package also included two lovely note books, particularly handy since chequered paper is hard to come by in Australia.<br />Tea bags were also included, one of which I'm enjoying right now, just the right thing to have on a cool winter day that we're having today. <br />Two huge packets of dried Shitake mushrooms will make all the mushroom lovers of our household happy once they are included in a meal!<br />And I really liked how you repurposed that lovely Pashmina scarf and used it as wrapping for the Tortilla press together with the wide satin ribbon, which certainly will be re-used to grace another gift.<br />My collection of owls also had an addition with a cute carved owl from the States.<br /><br /><br />A big thank you not only to Peggy for her lovely thoughtful parcel, emails and comments, but also to Monica and Carrie for hosting this shoebox swap. As I've mentioned in my email to Peggy, this has inspired me to pack a few more surprise gift boxes. It's sure lovely to get a gift apart from birthdays, Christmas etc, but equally if not nicer to be able to pack a surprise gift for someone. Especially someone you haven't even met before!<br /><br />On the time it took to arrive in Indiana - normal transit time with Australia Post is 7 - 10 business days. I wanted to make sure it would arrive in time and thus send it via courier. They stated 2 - 4 business days. To have it delivered within 2 days is just amazing.Reginanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6218351927533931727.post-20990375009190543532010-06-25T17:56:36.056-04:002010-06-25T17:56:36.056-04:00Mrs. K, thank you so very much!
