Just received from my partner Sparks which is awesome cause I didn't know my partner had already sent and it was a happy happy surprise *does a little dance*.   This is hands down the not only best thing I have received in a swap, but also its sooo amazingly hand crafted that I have no idea how she made it.  Seriously, how did you make this?? It's amazing!  I hope there are other Dr. Who fans in this swap who will appreciate the theme:



This picture does not do this cover justice cause its all indented/textured/grooved. 



My kindle is already in it and i'm never taking it out... i'll never get a case as cool as this.  Also now I'm gonna have to step in up in my finishing touches on Sparks cover cause it pales in comparison to this.. I'm tooottally impressed by this cover! *squeeeeee*


 

I received yesterday from my swap angel SpitZ09.  She created a bubble themed hoodie with my fraternity letters on them.


I was so super thrilled not only to finally receive a package but also to have it be as awesome and colorful as this is!!!!! Thanks again to my angel and our moderator for finding me a super cool angel.

My partner flaked on me, but not before I sent out this awesome hoodie.. or at least i think its awesome.  The theme I picked was owls.

I did the front simple:


And spent alot of time sewing the back.. I made all the patchwork except for the hearts as I have problems making hearts lol but I sewed the iron on hearts on:
