OH NO!!!!! Its not saying CUT ME!!! No package ever wants to be opened with scissors or a knife! Packages, especially surprize packages must be ripped open with with your fingers, teeth...toes...whatever works! It must be done in a frenzied manner...you know you don't want to hurt that boxes feelings!

Maybe you just don't understand "box".....you know it is another language... :roll: I have successfully heaped a pile of WIP's on top of mine. It can still breath, but I don't have to listen to it and it can't watch me anymore. Thankfully the hairs on the back of my neck have laid back down. :wink:

Pam: My experience as a quilter, seamstress, crocheter, knitter and crafter is that no body makes things for me. When I've asked, they tell me it is because I can make it for myself if I want one. When I receive something 'homemade' I am overjoyed. Someone took the time to make something they thought I would like. For example: I needed to send a CD to a friend last Christmas. Instead of just sending it, I made a round potholder with a pocket in the back, slipped the CD in the potholder, wrapped in tissue and mailed it to my friend. The whole thing cost $1.25 because the CD was a copy of a concert I played in during my Army years. I used scraps for the potholder and poof, a wonderful holiday gift from me.
Another idea might be a cookie cookbook. The twist is, using quart jars, make up some cookie mixes from the cookbook. Put a pretty label on the jar and cover the cap with a small piece of holiday fabric. All she adds are the wet ingredients and she has hot warm cookies fresh from the oven. Add a couple of wooden spoons and a really cute fabric tray/serving container (on the forum) and you've got a true treasure.
If the gift comes from your heart and you enjoy making and giving it, the gift is perfect. Gwyn

Wow Gwyn those are awesome ideas, would not have thought of that. Thanks!!
And you know I am sure there are many of us out there that are like the mechanic, the electrician, builder......etc. We make or do for others but not for ourselves so something handmade by someone else is awesome.

:D Odessa, lean in as my grbaby-sweetie pie says:
"lean in so I can speak it in your ear"...
shh!: like every super hero, mousie has a weakness...she doesn't like the dark. :oops: shh!
so all this talk of relative meeces crawling around in people's houses and drawers?...not 'close' kin! :?
This mouse sleeps at night and doesn't crawl into dark boxes :wink:
sorry, your on your own there. Maybe you could shine a flashlight into hole?
Don't be surprised if you see two shiny eyes looking back though :shock:
I'm sending elves to keep a lookout on my recipient and sound an alarm to me if they open early! :mrgreen:
I'm sure they don't want a mouse raid on their house to stop their "break in". :lol:

Hope you don't get Baker acted!
