love thursday seconda parte: i don’t mean to brag but…
I have the best mommy in the world (no offense to your mommies, of course).
Today I received this:
NB: This is the fourth outrageously heavy package I’ve received within the past month and a half.
Before my mom sent it, the story goes, my niece handed her an already sealed envelope to put in for me. Here are some of its contents:
That there on the left? Why yes, it *is* a snowflake cut out of a coffee filter.
Again, I don’t mean to brag, but let’s just say I’m a pretty durn lucky gal.

Reeses AND Nips?!!!
Ya know, it doesn’t help for me to have seen this right now, of all times… when I am in dire need of chocolate!
That was very sweet of your Mom. Maybe if I’m good, she’ll send me a box too?! :p

Care packages are the BEST! Does your mom put every care package in one of those baskets? She’s pretty awesome.

Lucky in more ways than one. You have a pretty talented niece. Happy New Year to you!!!
I hope Expats comes back on line soon.

Yes, Giulia, I’m viziata as well as fortunata
Kristen, thanks for visiting; hope we’ll be seeing more of you!
Laura, actually that was a lovely set of lined baskets–4 in all. I had gotten them for myself before I came to Italy, but they didn’t make the cut in the luggage, so my mom found a way to weasel them into a box. Sadly, no, all packages do not come with baskets, but enough candy to make your teeth hurt just looking at it? Yeah, that’s a given.
Gil, my niece is pretty talented, sweet, cute…don’t get me started! I missed out on the fun this morning at Expats as I was snoozing. Hope it’s all better now.

What a great package. You are one lucky girl.
Also your niece is clearly a genius. Very cute snowflake.
