40 Boxes Shipping Today! (Updated)

February 20, 2008 | Giveaway |

UPDATE: It’s official! They’re in the mail. Everyone in the U.S. should get them in 3-5 days; 2 are going to Canada and should take 5-7 days; 1 is going to Australia and should take 7-10 days. Thanks to everyone that’s donated! It really helps! If you’d like to help, use the blue “PBDDL Support” widget to the right. Thanks!

Hello Blake Makers and Sooper Heroes. Ugh…my back and neck are a little achy. For the past 3 hours, I’ve been hunched over mini little jars of peanut butter dulce de leche affixing labels, packing them into their little boxes and addressing them. It took some time, but they’re done!

I’m dreading this shipping bill tomorrow. I know each of these little boxes is going to cost me over $3.

All I have to say is thanks to everyone who’s supporting the dulce project. If you’d like to support us (sponsor a jar of dulce), just click on the little PBDDL Support widget to the right.

Donations are by no means required, but completely appreciated!

(Yawn) Sleepy…must go to bed. Blake Makes has been completely over stimulating me the last couple of days.

I do it for you! It’s all for you!

Nighty night. bk

I’m so excited that you’re excited, and, Danielle, I’m sad that you’re sad. For those that are excited, I’m expecting something amazing to be done with my dulce! No pressure!

For sad Danielle, never fear, we’ve got another round coming soon! And then some….stay tuned! secrets…secrets…secrets…bk

Oh yes. It’s a tale of 2 Nikki’s on Blake Makes. Nikki 1 meet Nikki 2. Nikki 1 enjoys long rides in the country, horses and trip to the farmer’s market. Nikki 2 is a dog person, who like Russian fiction and says rainy days and Mondays always get her down.

hahahahhaha!

The fa-fa-fa-faux hawk is coming back. My hair’s just getting a little long and won’t spike as well.

Hello Joy…it’s a joy to meet you. Thank you for your kind words. I AM a saint, but my dulces are sinfully delicious.

Erica, I can’t wait to see what you make. BTW, there are 2 Erica’s, too. uh oh! holla!

I’m trying to figure out what “Nikki” I am based on your description.. I’m adding the G to my name. Easier to distinguish…plus, it’s just more gangsta.

What up G? again, holla! That’s how you roll, and I dig that.

Yea, Nikki 1 sounds like a Charlotte from Sex and the City now that I think of it. Nikki 2 is a Miranda.

Wow, that’s gay. Bridget, I love you! hahahah

ahahah

Hey Jennifer! I have a few mottos.

1. If it were easy, everyone would do it.
2. (for you) Always under-promise, and over deliver.

Never underestimate the power of a surprise….

Jennifer…my pleasure!

Kimmers! I love Aussies! Have I told you that I traveled with about 20 Aussies for a month after I graduated from college? We spent 30 days in England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. That is still some of the best times I’ve ever had in my life. I still talk to those guys. We are going to have one hell of a reunion one day when we get down to Oz….Cold Chisle and all. I really miss people calling me ‘legend’ and hearing people say, “It’s gonna end in tears.” Oh, I miss my mates!

Hi Shannon. Thanks for your kind words…(and for donating)! bk

Oh, your poor back! You need some sort of little-jar-labeling stand. Like a drafting table, but for jars!

They’re SO cute!

ps: the chip in widget is giving me grief! I click, I copy I paste, I get nuttin’. Sometimes the chip in widget doesn’t even load!

I want to chip in!

Maybe it’s just overloaded by people chipping in to help you out? That would be tres cool.

Man, I’m gonna have to send that ChipIn widget to the wood chipper. Thank you for wanting to ChipIn! I added a link to the post above this one. Let me know if it works for you. If not, I’ll think of something else. bk
