What a great gift that keeps on giving. Neither of us heard of a herb scissors and now she would like one. Nice gift.Just a little something from Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07436711032386582707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-83052738473234219502013-04-23T15:08:00.660-07:002013-04-23T15:08:00.660-07:00Wow, it's been awhile....

They were 8 and 6 years old at the time. I always wondered what would have happened if they thought it would be funny to say "No!"?

I'm sure it won't be long and they will all know about the blog and the books with all of the questions. I guess they are doing their job and we need to remember that if we are not doing anything illegal, we have nothing to worry about... but the questions can make you feel like they will find something wrong with what you are sending. =)<br />Anneliesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10288355284573379421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-56206038020554827622013-04-22T09:33:02.961-07:002013-04-22T09:33:02.961-07:00Very frightening.

Of course there was good reason this past weekend for the extra time and security. We didn't mind . Those scissors look great and I hope the recipient enjoys them. Your herbs look so healthy. Enjoy the day!
