Aromaleigh Spring Soltice 2009

Another package that arrived was the prize from Aromaleigh contest,. Im one of the VERY lucky winners.. When i arrived at the post office the officer said that (again) I'm lucky coz the custom officer just went out, had he seen the declared value of the package I'd be taxed.. The goodies alone costs a whooping $160.00.. wow, isn't it,. I wouldnt buy myself that in one go,.

So here they are...

If you'll notice it's only 21, its supposed to be 22 jars. It's bcoz Alyssum was not inluded instead a got 2 candytuft jars. But its ok,. should I complain, its just free anyweys,. more over my officemate likes the candytuft so i gave it to her.. at least i still have my own candytuft, hehe..

with flash

They do look yummy indeed..
