The snail in the mail wore a birthday hat

I've crept through the past ten days while they've been flying past me. My art/craft show application was accepted not too long ago! Can I get a woot woot? Since then, I've entered the spiraling cycle of procrastination, panic, suddenly working on projects until 4am, gluing myself to the computer screen and pretending I have time to spare, and finally repeating steps 1 through 4 in sporadic order.

One particular package in my mailbox took my mind off things a bit, though! As my first time winning anything blog-related, I was pretty stoked when Beth of Deer Little Fawn announced the names of a few lovely ladies who won her birthday treasure hunt and I was one of them! She posted clues every few days and we had to find the hidden answers throughout her blog - what a cute idea, right? 

The fact that Beth lives all the way across the pond in the UK made this bag of goodies even more interesting. I love how different their wording is on product packaging. For instance, on candy products, they refer to candy as "sweets." I wish the American vocabulary was this charming, but perhaps I've just been jaded by it. Here's the loot!

Thanks for brightening up my day, Beth (:
