My recipient got it but has some personal issues and I’m a little worried about them because they’ve been absent here and never really said anything but that a box had been sitting on their porch for weeks via pm. I hope she’s okay if she sees this. ---

I confess I no longer have the tracking slip for my giftee. If he doesn’t get my present, Inhope he lets Silvorange know. I’m happy to send a replacement. ---

I received my gift. THANKS A LOT!! The book and the sweets are awesome 🙂 I hope that **Cold Dish** will receive my gift! I put it in the post from Spain on December 20th… Hopefully there has been enough time for it to reach its destination! Greetings, JoseB ---

Thank you so much, **Silvorange**. The scarf is beautiful, and it’s the perfect color for me. I also got two really cool murder books for my collection, and some really yummy looking candy. I’ll be warm, entertained, fed and stylish. ---

I’m moving in about a week and a half. I keep hoping a package arrives before it has to be forwarded. ---

Christmas arrived at my new house today. Thanks, **Septima** , for everything. I love receiving candy I don’t recognize and I collect shot glasses. The playing cards are fascinating. I can’t wait to look up all the pictures. I love the salmon skin heart. It will be a year round decoration. ---
