Foodie Pen Pals! Sweet Treats Once a Month!

Embarking on the blogging path has led me to discover a Foodie Pen Pal Club.   I'm a newbie to the club & was happily connected to 2 lovely people; the person who I get to shop for & the person who is shopping for me.  I received a thoughtful letter and an amazing box of goodies from Cindi Wilding of California, a Certified Life Cycle Celebrant.  Please visit her at  http://cindiewilding.typepad.com/

Here's the tasty box of treats that arrived just for me (ok I reluctantly shared the last few bites of the toffee with my daughter & we were both yearning for more).

  • Stacy's Cocoa Pita Chips
  • Sahale Almonds (Love these!)
  • Crostini Rosemary Toasts
  • Lula's California Toffee (must have more!) 
  • Sun Drops Caramel Cups. 

   A big thanks to Cindi for spoiling me this month!  All the goodies were delicious .
