Thank you @Mommamanzi for the lovely package. #CBBC

@MommyOfTwo I plan on mailing yours today (in between doc appointments). The one that was lost, is showing in Springfield MA right now and continues to say “In transit: arriving late“ Ugh! As soon as I get it I will pass it along :( Or pass it to whomever you ask me to .. I was hoping it would still arrive for you! (9505515392922146334897)

I will put the new tracking in the comments.

MommyOfTwo When I sign in to my USPS account it shows it in there like it is still coming so maybe I‘ll still get it 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2y
ElizaMarie @MommyOfTwo ugh… it‘s so annoying! 2y
ElizaMarie @MommyOfTwo so just got another update … it‘s saying it‘s in transit!!! Okay I mailed the other one says Monday would when it comes 9505515392912188287015 2y
ElizaMarie @MommyOfTwo oooo it‘s now saying you should get last months box today!!!! Let me know 2y
MommyOfTwo I just saw that and was going to tell you lol Darn I just sent my package yesterday and I had gotten a new copy of the book. Oh well, I will get the book and journal sent to my person so the original can continue it‘s journey. 2y

The watercolors are lovely! Reading through this made me yearn for these little creatures to be real i such a profound way. I grew up in a culture devoid of forest spirits and fae-like beings. Heck I only recently learned tales of tomte/ tontu/ nisse. I loved stepping into this world, I only wish I could spend more time there.

Today‘s #pottersocks and gnomes — or, as Ron would say, “fat little Santa Clauses.” #harrypotter #jumpstart2020

MissAimz_55 I love these potter socks! I did the 15 days of socks too but a different one than you. I‘m bummed I didn‘t get these. I got some super cute ones though 4y
Graciouswarriorprincess I love those socks! So cute! 4y
Linsy @MissAimz_55 I got lucky, my mother in law spoiled me with two different 15 days of socks. I feel like there are hits and misses in each box. This one was definitely a win! 4y
Linsy @Graciouswarriorprincess Probably my favorite! 4y

Yesterday‘s used #bookhaul!!! I bought it almost entirely with credit from selling books, so they were basically free, if you don‘t think about it too hard. 😝

archaeolibrarianologist Gnomes was one of my favorite books growing up. 6y

Not my biggest #bookhaul of all time from the library used book sale, but it‘s a book haul nonetheless! I couldn‘t resist Gnomes; my mom had this book and I always loved the illustrations. And I got a cute little book of Edward Gorey cat drawings. The softcover books were 50 cents each or 5 for $2.00, so that cookie cookbook that I didn‘t need was free! Who was I to say no🤗

Was browsing in CVS to waste time before my train came and destiny stopped me in my tracks. Look at this! It's a hardcover, 300 page lined journal. I mean, I'm really not a journal person, but I literally couldn't help myself from buying this. Taking notes at work just got a thousand times better.

DebinHawaii We had Gnomes when I was growing up! My niece begged for it when my mom downsized a few years ago though--otherwise I would totally have it. It's very important reference material! 🍄🍄🍄 8y

This is one of my favorite book gifts ever! When I was 5ish, I would always look through this book at the library. I lost track of it over time, but twenty-five years later a friend gave it to me for Christmas! The illustrations are enchanting!

Bookquilter I have an old copy of this from my elementary school days. 8y
LeahBergen I had this in junior high. Hmm... where did it go?? 8y
overlyattachedreader I hope you find it! 😀 I have lost so many childhood favorites over the years ! @LeahBergen 8y

I've had this since I was a kid, wearing through copy after copy. I still adore it immensely. I just found it and want to spend the whole night in it

brenna I loved that as a kid! I had the fairies one too. 8y
Heather_Reads I have this! I'd completely forgotten about it. So many childhood memories attached - I'll have to try and find it. Thanks for the reminder 😊 8y
8leagueboot This book is so magical. Have you seen the "Trolls" title in the set? 8y
Peterdamien I didn't even know there WERE books in this series. I'd never heard of the fairies one, or the troll one. Now I NEEDS them 8y
