a peek inside the fishbowl

Awhile back I signed up for a candy swap hosted by Scattered Mom.

Each person was to send $8 – $10 worth of candy to their swap partner. I decided to take the purist route and send mostly chocolate, brands that (I think) are only available in Canada. My partner was Renee.

This is what I sent:

I’m particularly proud of that maple-filled Caramilk bar (there ain’t nuttin’ more Canadian than THAT eh!) but I personally think the Mack toffee was an equally Canadian choice. I hope my recipient knows how to Smack the Mack. Do you think she’ll be able to figure that out? Or will she pull her teeth out trying to chew through it? Only time will tell.

Okay. So here’s what I received [click to enlarge]:

Yes. Those are blue peeps. Yes. Those are chocolate bandaids. Yes. My children are salivating as I type this. My package contained a lot of fun candies, so much, in fact, that I will be eating candy for months to come. Don’t worry. I don’t mind. :)

Thank you Renee, for the thoughtful (and yummy!) package!
