My sunshine gift is here

Cara from over at Creative Playground was my buddy who sent me a box of sunshine

Jameson from Lessons with Coffee is hosting this event and it is amazing.

   

Jameson matches bloggers/teachers up and we get to know each other by looking at blogs, facebook, emails etc and then send a box of goodies to that match, while someone else gets to know you and sends you one too.

This was my second time and Cara sent me an amazing box of sunshine. Cara thanks so much for all the items in my sunshine box. The last picture is fabulous. Cara is also a clip art designer and made me a mini me to use on nay of my stuff. 

Cara you are amazing - thanks.

The tape on the outside was even leopard print! Cara made a sign for me for my classroom. complete with feathers, ribbons and shiny stuff. 

There were note pads, mini calendars, cards to us chalk as pens, list paper, paper packs.....

Mini clipboards, note cards and a mini me!

 Cara you are amazing!

A present from the Scrappy Guy

Thanks to Jameson at "Lessons with Coffee' I have made two knew blogging friends. 

I joined up in the great SLANT box linky. It stands for sending love across the nation to teachers. For me this was across Nations not just the nation.

I had heaps of fun getting to know Chelsea and putting my box of goodies together for her. I shall show photos when I know she has it - so I don't spoil the surprise for her. 

I received my box from Gary this morning and I am so thankful for the things inside and the card was delightful. 

The box needed to have an October theme as well as objects that meant something to the receiver and helped to get us through the scary month....

Here are some pics - I love the orange envelope and the message on the front. The card is gorgeous and we don't really have them in Aus. If I was in America - I think I would so enjoy Halloween. 

I am so lucky to have Gary as my partner for this link up!

The box was full of stuff

These tea towels are amazing

This bag is too cute!

This box has a whole lot of yummy inside. Now the little chocolates still in the box are Pumpkin Spice. In Aus we bake or boil pumpkins and they are treated as a vegetable - but in America they are a sweet and I have been converted - I don't think this treat will last long and I will have to hide them from my kids and husband. 

 Gary did his 'stalking' well and knows that I love books. I cannot ever have enough books (or shoes or handbags). I just love this book - it is a bit like 'The Enormous Turnip'

It takes a witch, a ghost, a vampire, a mummy and finally a bat to get that pumpkin off the vine.

And wait there is more - this pencils are also too cute. They are delightful. 

A very big thank you Gary - you have made my day - week - month!
