Hometown Swap

June 17, 2009

I participated in a super fun hometown swap recently hosted by Shannon at The Nut House.  Basically she hosted this swap and asked bloggers all around the United States if they were interested in sending and receiving packages from their home towns  and lots of people were interested including me.

I was lucky to have  gotten  Marrdy at One Krazy Kat Lady from Utah, woo hoo.  Take a look at all the great stuff she sent me.

Unfortunately a bottle of honey was broken during transit, luckily she had it in a zip lock with newspaper, but it still didn’t make the trip.

Check out this Salt Water Taffy, talk about yummy.  Tons of different flavors from licorice to Neapolitan ice cream, yum!  The second I opened this package from Marrdy my sweet hubby DT said, “you should do this every month”  I laughed.  But it sure is fun.

The package also included a Lehi Pride Pancake Mix, and Pioneer Vally Red Raspberry syrup.  I know we are already planning on making these this weekend.

She was so sweet to include to dinosaur puzzles for each Little H and Little W, they love them.

And lots of brochures and a big book all about Utah.  We hope to visit one day!!

Thanks again, this was tons of fun.  Please go check out the other entries at The Nut House.

That looks like fun. What did you send in your package.

The only thing I can think of to send from here is corn and steak. Neither one travels well. :)

So glad the boys like the dinosaurs. They were made by a man who lives close by where I work so they are truly from Utah!! Sorry about the honey…should have listened to the hubby.
