Italian desserts…which one did I choose? Any takers? Got a favorite? ... See MoreSee Less
I'll take 1 each, you probably took the one with the most fruit
Take the cannoli
Can we have a nibble from each? LOL
None of the above was your choice. You baked an apple in your microwave and had that.
You definitely chose something that has to do with chocolate!
I’ll take one of each…🤭
Not sure I've ever had REAL cannoli. I'm from Michigan though I did have one Italian aunt and she was a good cook. My uncle met her when he was overseas in World War II
Do they make a sampler platter?
You chose #2
I’m not sure, but I’m now craving strawberry shortcake cake. 😂
Fruit tart!🙌🏽🙌🏽😋😋
Cannoli!
Please come visit Elizabethtown, PA. We have a French Pâtisserie, Valosh Pâtisserie, an antique store, and a couple of interesting vintage sellers (including my little spot, RELIQ).
All of the above 🤣
I say fruit with half of the half of each other ones. Moderation.
The cannoli!!
Cannoli!
Cannolis all the way
They all look deelish!
The Cannoli!. Please tell us.
3 or 6 🤷🏼♀️😋
Cannoli, but will.take.a sampler tray of everything.
You took 2 i would take 4 or 5
I would pick one of each! At least a bite!
All but the cupcakes..lol

Bobby Bones is worth the trouble! #baby #shopping #nashville ... See MoreSee Less
Im from Tennessee, Thanks for the compliment. Love you!!
I don’t trust the post office to deliver anything.
Know the voice…Oh my gosh didn’t recognize you in the hat!
I will take a look in the bushes.
We can all get crazy at times.. You can only do what you can do...baby baby where are you...Hope you fine them..🙃
Please be safe with this bad weather going on.
I love your sense of humor! 😊
Welcome to my world .... been there done that. Have you seen the videos on crates bought from usps. They video the unpacking of those crates, some do. You might catch the blankets on you tube. Good luck with that.
If it were Fed Ex you would never see it again 🤣
Same happened to me a couple of years ago. Shipped a quilt my mom made toy nephew in Texas. Well it went everywhere before he got it. It went to Florida and then to Chicago. He finally got it like 2 weeks later!🤦♀️
Good luck! When we weren’t receiving any RSVP’s for my daughter’s wedding, started calling and realized over 1/2 were never received! It was odd…people out of state received theirs but no one in her home town did! (Toledo). I hope you have better luck!
omg! i sent maternity clothes to my daughter in montana one time, got one digit wrong on the zip code. the box traveled (mind you i’m in idaho) to new york and like hawaii and all over the midwest. after about 3 1/2 months i got the package back. she of course didn’t need maternity clothes by then haha. nobody in all of the post offices it went to ever looked to see that the box said Billings, Montana on it, or think let me look up that zip code! no lets just ship it around! where is peoples common sense????
Good that you found laughter in this frustrating saga...
Postal service isn’t what it used to be unfortunately. I’ve had several Mia deliveries in the past couple of years. This was unheard of ten years ago.
Please let us know if it's ever found!!
I love Bobby Bones!
Your baby blankets are beautiful - I hope Bobby eventually gets his!
I hope you find them. That is a lot of work to be lost. Someone will enjoy them.
On a different note...the color of your hat is great with your skintone! If you are thinking of a big change ie..color n cut, to go with your new you. Dark Grey and shortened cut will look great on you.
Not having patience at a time like this does not pay off, You get more bees with honey, & if you have a sense of humor about it The people will put more of an effort to help find it!, Slow down people& relax life isn't perfect! Dr. Lori I hope it all works out, What a lovely gesture! xo
I love how nice you told this frustrating story! I hope the baby blanket is found!! 🤞
Babies need warm blankets! It's cold!
WHERE OH WHERE COULD MY PACKAGE BE?📦📦📦📦 📦 🤔 😩
Praying it will soon be found!! Those baby blankets you make will be Heirlooms one day so he can add this story to the documentation of its history for future generations to know just how special it is!!!
Hopefully the package wasn’t left by the mailbox. We still have mailbox pirates. My son in - law’s aunt made mittens , scarves ,and hats for his children. Package probably didn’t fit in the box. Left at the foot of the post, we think . Daughter asked a neighbor if she’ d seen it as their boxes were side by side. She really blew up for no reason. We always felt she took it. Back in the early 2000’s when things weren’t able to be tracked as they are now. Have several fam members on my Amazon acct. all packages come to my house. No problems with someone coming along and helping themselves. Can’t see anything from the road. Sure hope they get the blankets.
