To my lovely elf,
I finally mailed your gift today. Expected delivery is Jan 3rd, but I'm hopeful it might make it by Saturday. Either way, if you don't have a gift yet don't despair! Maybe you are my elf.

Happy gifting and receiving all!

EnchantedSoul!!!!!!

THANK YOU!!!!!! Guys, two running tanks and a headlamp that is in no way shape or form reminiscent of the giant spelunking one I had been using (and hated.)

Thank you, truly. I am almost excited enough to take one of them out running right now (and then my legs remind me I ran 16 this morning, so I'll wait)

cole was an AWESOME secret Santa! I got a triathlon necklace I have been wanting, some yummy looking D.C. Chocolate covered Oreos, and she made me an awesome map that marks all of my big races this year. It's amazing! Thank you for that and for being such an awesome friend!

I just got home and had my lovely package waiting for me from libbygrl109.

I got lovely cookies, a gift card, a baby elephant for the baby, and some huma gels for later.

Thank you so much for everything!!! Coincidentally my sister asked me about baby elephants for my shower!

Yay! So glad it all got to you in one piece 😊

I saw the elephant, and thought it was too cute and snugly to pass up!

I have a silicone mold and I riffed on Bouchon's Madeline recipe. I added orange oil for flavoring and used a little bit of whole wheat pastry flour to give it a nice crumb

They are delish btw
