LOVE that owl hoop!

I'm sorry gotgrey about posting pics so late!!  I got my huge box of goodies on Monday!!

I got these cool teapots with Eeyore and the Ello Worm from Labyrinth and some owl salt and pepper shakers
Daysie got an adorable pink striped sock monkey

Liam got a Link sock monkey (which matched one gotgrey made Aidan previously in a personal swap)

A bat stuffie

A tea bag and owl bookmark for me

And a Got Swag picture for Quenton, cuz he thinks hes got some  

And not pictured is a super soft puppy that Ethan has claimed and is sleeping with

Thanks gotgrey!!  Hope you like your goodies too!!

OK, I think I had to do them one at a time. Don't know why, they were all under 2 mb??? Anyways....SaintCad y sent me some awesome goodies.  First some Zelda perler creations, which the boys have taken away to their room.

And I got an awesome mothers pride type chainmaille bracelet.  The coloured jump rings represent birthstone colours. I love this!!  They're kinda hard to see in my pic 

And the best is this beautiful knitted cardigan for Daysie I love the colour, love the buttons and think the heart on the back is just adorable!!
Action shot - you can see it fits nicely but is still a little big. PERFECT cuz she can wear it longer!!!

Front

Heart on the back - kinda hard to see


Thank you sooo much Cady!!! I LOVE it all!!!
Oh, and if you have some better pics, please share them!

I got A TON of yarn from calluna earlier this week.  I feel so spoiled!!!


But if that wasn't enough, calluna also sent me an awesome hoop inspired by UP!  I LOVE it!!! Its so cute and perfect!!!

If you look, you can see Dugs nose in the corner, heehee.  I showed my son and immediately he knew what it was!!

Thanks so much calluna!!!

Rox, I took a pic of the blanket to kinda show its size  I tried to get a pic with a measuring tape but someone inisted they were better at measuring 



AND I GOT MY BOX!!!!!!  WOW!!!  I WE were sooooo spoiled!!!  I feel totally like my package was not up to par!!  Sorry for the amount of pics, I guess it was a good thing we agrees to take pics before we sent hey Rox?? 

I don't even know where to start.....OK, I got an awesome captured chainmaille bracelet, isn't it beautiful??

The twins LOVE Phineas and Ferb, so she made them EACH a stuffie, one got Agent P and the other got Perry

Ethan has kidney disease and only 1 kidney, so Roxanne made him another!!  He hugged it and said to me, "Mama, now I'm stronger!!"  Awwwww.

Ethan also got some felt animal masks.  Heres a fox one

And all three of them

Daysie got tons of goodies!!!  She got 4 pairs of babylegs, I LOVE these things!!  They're so cute on big fat babys legs.  She got a nice size taggy blanket and 3 bibs all in adorable fabric!!

Then I got some beautiful hand dyed yarn by Roxanne.  I LOVE the colour!!!  And some gummies for all of us, but the boys are gone for 5 days and I'm not promising there will be any left 

Liam and Aidan also got some Perry printouts that we will work on when they get back.  They look so fun

This is not a very detailed shot, but I thought you deserved an action shot cuz I LOVE the jewellery so much!!  I got a girly skeleton cameo.  I LOVE LOVE it!!

Heres a pic of all the stuffies

And Ethan needs help learning his letters, so Roxanne made him this awesome alphabet set.  They look different, but I just wanted to show both sides.  One side is blue with lowercase letters and the second side is red with uppercase letters!!  He was sooooo happy to get these.  he took them with him to Nanas cottage so he can work!!!

And finally, Quenton got an awesome shirt!!!    Roxanne felt so bad that she was making all these goodies but nothing for Quenton, hes 15 and teenage boys can be difficult to craft for, so we worked together and thought a shirt would be good and I found the perfect saying for it.  Well, he was running out the door and I said WAIT!!!  And I showed him his shirt.  He said "Sick!!!" (I never understand how thats a good thing, but it is!!  ) "Where did you get that?"  He thought I had bought it for him.  I told him you made it for him and he ran out the door with it.  Threw it in his bag cuz hes going to a concert tonight and wants to wear it.  Unfortunately, he wouldn't slow down for a pic, but I'll get one when he comes home tomorrow.  The shirt says "Loading Swag"  Then theres a loading bar, almost done, then it says "Error....Excessive files found"  hahaha, it is SOOOO him!!!!  I promise to get an action shot. 

Thank you so much Roxanne!! You've left me and the kids speechless!!  I've loved this swap so much cuz the best thing I got from it was an awesome friend like you!!!!!!!!  AHHHHHH!!!!  Thank you thank you thank you!!!!

OK, I know PFD takes amazing pics of her work, so please post em if you got em, but heres my pic of my beautiful full moon pendant.

Well, Daysies birthday was a month ago and I suck and am just now getting to the pics.  We did the rainbow theme and I tried my best!!! 

Heres the goodie jars.  Awesome recycling idea too, I used baby food jars after they were all eaten up! 

I LOVED them!!!  I put a pic of her on them, the date and "Daysies first birthday" And then filled them with Skittles, you know, taste the rainbow!  Heres a closeup

The only thing that sucked was I couldn't find my glue so I used elmers school glue and it turned the pics green  but they were still cute!
I made rainbow cupcakes

2 different kinds

And her rainbow topsy turvy cake.  The bottom layer collapsed on me, so it doesn't look very topsy turvy at all

I did 2 fruit trays in rainbow colours shaped rainbowy

Then we had gumballs, rainbow stick cany things, rainbow twizzlers and rainbow confetti.  Heres the whole table

I was so proud of myself for this one!!  I can't wait for her next birthday!!  I got the twins bday soon, but girls are more fun to decorate for!!!  (Shhhhh....don't tell them I said that!  )
OH!!!  I Forgot!! I made rainbow jello!!!  This took FOREVER!!!!  But it was yummy!!

And this balloon wreath was so fun to make

And a happy birthday daysie paper banner

And just cuz I gotta, heres a pic of the birthday girl.  She ate her cake so dainty like. It was so funny and it took her forever!!  My boys would just shove their face in it, but she very carefully used her fingers to pull off litle bits at a time! hahaha

(See the super cute banner that jillybeans sent me behind her chair??  )
Sorry for the pic overload!! Thanks for peeking!!!  OH!!  And most of these things I found on pinterest!

OK, heres my pics, I'm surprised no one else has recieved yet!!! 

First Daysie got a super cute pink gameboy of her own!


Then I've had this ispy bag on my wish list FOREVER and tiffi made it for me!!  Well, not me, my boys!!  And its a HUGE hit!!  Theres tons of handmade clay creations in there for them to find.  It came with a list of things too.



And look at all the clay creations!!  We got a chain chomp keychain, a mushroom cell phone charm, some extra mushrooms, a pow pin and some adorable mushroom bobby pins!!!


Thanks so much for everything tiffi!!!

OK, gotgrey and I swapped for sock monkeys a while ago and we got an awesome Link sock monkey!!!  Here is a pic of the thrilled recipient!!



Heres a better pic of Link



Thanks so much gotgrey!! He is very well loved!
