A Lovely, Lovely Person* sent me a surprise Crappy Day Package! So, here we have more excellent examples of Crappy Day Presents:
|
I enjoyed and appreciated all of the bright, happy wrapping paper (I know from experience that it takes A LONG TIME to wrap that many things!), and I LOVED the tags that Lovely Person put on each package (click on the photo to enlarge if you want to read them**); she wrote a mysterious little description of each item and noted when it is something that she has for herself. I arranged all of the presents in a nice display on my dresser, so that I can be cheered up by seeing them (and smile when I read the tags) whenever I walk by. |
|
This was the first thing I opened; I just couldn't resist the mystery of "probably broke"; I wanted to see what it was! GOOD CHOICE! I've been using this for my daily infusion infusions of liquid chocolate (otherwise known as Ovaltine with enough milk to make it a liquid). And something about that lone little flower DOES make me feel better! |

I forgot to take a picture, but something I opened on
the day I awoke to discover the news story of a base WHERE MY HUSBAND WILL BE GOING being BOMBED by someone who doesn't like the American presence there a very stressful day turned out to be a bottle of the hair conditioner Lovely Person likes to use when SHE is having a stressful day!! The thoughtfulness of that gift was a great comfort to me on that hard day!

Another opened present! I think it is fun to get things that I wouldn't normally think to buy for myself. I haven't tried the blue one yet because I am enjoying the yellow (honey!) one so much. |
|
Isn't that just THE CUTEST little fuzzy face?! THE MOMENT Marie noticed this she asked if she could have it; she named it her Rose and likes to take it her with her wherever she goes. |
*******
That is everything I have opened so far, but I am almost certain that I will be opening MANY things next week when I return from visiting Husband. I am so very excited to be in the same room with him, but it will be the last time for
*SEVEN MONTHS* or longer; I'm afraid it is going to be VERY HARD to leave him to come home.

Thank you again, Lovely Person! Your package was such a nice surprise and continues to slow the arrival of or help me through Crappy Days!

*I will be keeping Crappy Day Present senders anonymous so that the sender doesn't have to worry that Person Q is going to see what they (the sender) sent me and possibly feel bad that their (Person Q's) package was not as fabulous as mine ;-). But if you don't worry as much as I do aren't worried about that, you are welcome to claim your package in the comments!

EDITED:
I have now opened all of the beautiful presents!! Here are the other things I discovered hiding under the cheerful wrapping paper:
|
Sparkly nail polish! (I LOVE SPARKLIES!!) |
|
Handmade soap! (I LOVE handmade soap!) Smells VERY NICE! |
|
Cool stamps! What a GREAT idea! EVERYBODY needs stamps! And Lovely Person cleverly disguised the sheet of stamps, so I had no idea what could be in the package! |
|
Pretty Henna designs! (I think those are beautiful on pregnant bellies!!) |
|
HEART KITCHEN TOWELS, SQUEEEEEE! Have I mentioned that I have a heart theme in my kitchen? When we were married, someone gave us a colander with hearts for the holes; now I have heart measuring cups, measuring spoons, muffin pans, cake pans, and I even have a few heart bowls that the children haven't managed to break in my dishes pattern =)! |
Oh! I didn't get a picture, but Lovely Person also sent a nice-sized re-usable shopping bag! (I LOVE bags!!!
*cough* some might say that I have a little bag PROBLEM *cough*)
Thank you again, Lovely Person!! Your package helped with QUITE A FEW irritating Crappy Days!!
This package puts mine to SHAME.
ReplyDeleteI just love this idea! It's got me thinking of all the things I would put in a CDP. What an awesome and wonderfully kind thing to do!
ReplyDeleteI think one of the funnest things about CDP is that they can vary hugely in size and cost and so forth. A CDP can be a single candy bar in an envelope. It can be a large-size candy bar, a pack of fridge magnets, and a used paperback the sender enjoyed. Or, when we are all wealthy as all get out, it can be a string of pearls, a bar of gold, and a purebred puppy with its own nanny---all packed in a box that is actually a Ferrari.
