Just this beautiful '08 Valentines Longaberger basket! I have to post this because for those of you who know me, You know I'm very hard to surprise! If I suspect or know anything at all, I either figure it out, or can't hardly stand it, so therefor generally prefer to look forward to something rather than be surprised. The difference is a real total surprise! This was one. I sold Longaberger for about 6 years, and so have a "nice" collection, including all the special edition valentines baskets they've had since I started selling. Last summer I quit selling and when I did, then my niece started. Although she had a party last month, and I saw the basket, I didn't order it, and although I was feeling a little bad that I wasn't going to have this years basket, I guess there's been enough going on around here for me so I didn't dwell too much on it!
So, last night when we sat down to our valentines supper, there on my plate was a folded piece of paper...the first clue to a treasure hunt. Now I just want to mention that my husband has NEVER done anything like that either! :*) So after supper I got to go on the hunt and found tie-on, liner, protector, lid & basket, all hid around the room. What a fun surprise & A lovely gift that I didn't even have to buy myself!! Thanks Raimie! you're a super consultant, and Thanks to my hubby for the beautiful basket & surprise!
