Remember when I blogged about The Little Black Box back in July? Well it just so happens that my very own Little Black Box arrived in the mail recently, sent courtesy of LBB owner Kimberlee Keane. Needless to say I was very surprised to receive such a generous and heavenly scented gift; it smelled like freshly baked cookies!

Opening a Little Black Box and rifling through its contents is not unlike sorting through a triumphant night’s worth of Halloween booty – it’s exciting. Among the loads of goodies inside, I found greeting cards, lip gloss, jewelry, stickers, candles and soaps. Take a look:

Custom promos and graphics by Sassy Cat, custom embroidered luggage handle wraps by Bin Hog, and handmade soaps from Soap Scent-sations (that's what smelled like cookies!)

Cards made from recycled materials by Wendy Conrad, custom promotional mirror by Promos in a Snap!, and heavenly (I mean HEAVENLY) scented candles by Kathie Storie.

Stickers and accesssories by Always Amy, candles, lipgloss and body spray by Aromalite, and elegant handmade earrings by Janna Culbreth.

Everything that came in The Little Black Box, recipe cards by Terri Taylor and loose tea by Blue Raven Tea.

Unfortunately I couldn't photograph everything tonight before my darn camera battery died. Among the treasures that are not pictured is a beautiful handmade magnet from Designs by Tami, some really cool Pirate Booty soap in berry bling scent from Soap Sushi, a couple of fun tags and buttons from DAMdesigns, and an adorable zipper pouch with a matching pocket mirror from Midnight Creations.

It's hard to pick a favorite, but there were a few items that I kept coming back to again and again. I found the Blue Raven tea particularly enchanting. It came with its own tea bags and rock sugar and was blissful to drink! The pomegranate lip balm from Aromalite is, in a word, perfect (I consider myself a lip gloss aficionado). I also loved the magnet from Designs by Tami, which I put it on my fridge immediately. My all time favorite item however, was Terri Taylor's "Bite Me" recipe card, with the little bite in the corner. I want an entire stack of them. She actually only included one, but my picture of it wasn't very good so I borrowed the photo you see above from Terri's Etsy shop.

Overall, everything I received in my Little Black Box was thoughtfully wrapped and beautifully presented. Each of the crafters who contributed to this box did so with generous effort and care. I'd like to extend a personal thank you to all of them - as well to Kimberlee - for making my weekend a fabulous one.
