don't you love a GOOD mail day

I've felt very spoilt this week. I've had a couple of exciting parcels come in the mail. The first was a package from the lovely Patti who writes one of my new favourite blogs Candy Yum Yum. We got talking about Perky Nana bars and Patti mentioned she's always wanted to try one. So I did the only thing a fellow candy lover could do, I sent her a package of Perky Nana bars, Jaffas and Pineapple Lumps.

Patti sent me a package in return and I was so excited! Amazing cupcake sprinkles, like I've never seen before (there were shark sprinkles! Sharks!! So exciting), a Reeces Whipps bar (which I'm now addicted to) a Herseys Take 5 bar (which I'm also now addicted to - the perfect mix of salty and sweet with pretzels, caramel, peanuts, peanut butter and chocolate), Herseys Kissables, Pop Drops and little marshmallows filled with chocolate and grape (which Chris inhaled!!!)



I also got another very cool package from the lovely Jenn (who is another Baker & Destroyer and proud pug owner!) She kindly sent a tshirt I'd purchsed to me to save me the horrendous shipping (thats what you get living at the arse end of the world) but she also spoilt me and popped in some other goodies - a cute as a button cupcake shaped notebook, gorgeous cupcake stickers and Hello Kitty cupcake stickers and a package of amazing chocolate from Redstone Candy in her hometown.



and her 2 cute doggies Molly & Benny put a gift for George in too. A dog plush toy in the shape of an icecream cone. It was almost too cute to give to George, but look at him looking longingly at it - how could I not let him have his pressie :-)



and one last thing in the package, Jenn's friend Jilissa made her an awesome beaded bracelet for her birthday with a little Frankencupcake on it, complete with eyeball on top in place of a cherry. I fell in love with it and Jilissa was kind enough to let me order one from her and Jenn posted it with all my goodies :-)



And even though I didn't get to post this at the time, I have to show you the rad parcel Natalie from Bake & Destory sent me. I popped a couple of bags of Jaffas in the post for her to try (since I ALWAYS seem to be making Jaffa cupcakes) and she sent me back an amazing gift box from the Bleeding Heart Bakery! The "Love Kills - A tribute to Sid Vicious" box of chocolates, complete with a chocolate gun! I was in heaven and the choccies were so yummy!
