It’s time to sing again:
“On the twelfth day of Advent, my secret sister gave to me
Coffee for sipping
Cookies for dipping
Cutters for baking
Sprinkles for shaking
Cookies for dipping
Cutters for baking
Sprinkles for shaking
tissue for wrapping
Candles for burning
Paper for wrapping
Hot soothing tea
Bows, curling ribbon
Tree gift bags
Bird paper pad
and three shades of shiny lip balm!!
Oh, the song may have ended (thank goodness), but the basket is still bringing forth much fun and frivolity!See for yourself:
I know that I have already told you this, but I must say it again: this basket giver has the ability to read future thoughts.On the day that we are out of tape, I open tape. The day I need to wrap preschool teacher presents in a pinch, I open tissue paper and use the gift bags from a previous day (notice how the bird paper made a table runner).
The day Ava’s nose starts dripping, I open penguin tissue. The day I compliment my neighbor’s spice candle, I open an organic, soy-based “secret spice” candle. The day I’m craving chocolate, I open organic chocolate (Oh, wait that’s everyday).And here’s the whopper–one morning as Ava and I were driving to the store, we spied some children ice-skating. Ava is now the proud owner of shiny used ice skates cannot wait to try them out on our neighborhood pond. As we were discussing future ice-skating plans, I thought wouldn’t it be nice if I had a thermos to bring hot chocolate in. And that day, I opened…a thermos!

It’s starting to feel like a genie-wish basket!
There is only a few presents left, and I’m more eager than ever to find out who made this incredible basket.
For once the goosebumps all over my body are NOT from our frigid house, but from your advent gifts and their Heavenly timing.
What fun to open all these lovely gifts each day! Thanks for sharing your anticipation with us.
I’m excited to find out who this mind-reader is too. Have you tried the cookies yet? They look yummy. Have you ever made Oreo balls?
Thanks for sharing…I love to see what you get and too can’t wait to see who this special stuff is from!!
Oh, I’m so glad to be caught up on the gift basket. I assume it’s even more fun to actually open the gifts and use them than just read about them so you must be having the time of your life!
