LOL!  That upscale burlap is all the rage in Paris this season.

Just to let everyone know, I'm working on this swap right now.  I'm doing my best to confirm who has received and who hasn't, and then I will be leaving feedback and looking for angels accordingly (we do have a couple of flakers, sadly   ).

Everything has been updated to the best of my ability.  I'm waiting to hear back from a bunch of pm's I sent out this morning, so more updates will hopefully occur soon.  However, if anything seems amiss, please let me know!

From badpuppy:
stuffed burlap, stuffed gingham, 2 painted wood, and two granite-like (clay, plastic, resin?) and a small blue one with a shell on him!

Actually, the first one is linen, not burlap.    The granite ones are the granite-look sculpy, which pleased me for some reason.  I'm glad you like them!

I received my AMAZING package from amnesia a couple of days ago.  Unfortunately, my camera and computer apparently aren't talking to each other right now so I haven't been able to post my photos.  The bag was jam-packed and actually leaked a little into the surrounding box.  Crafted items included a gorgeous scarf and a delightful mug rug, and it was packed with supplies including paper, fabric bits, whimsies, tea, and cookies (tea and cookies are craft supplies, right??).

Anyway, I'm leaving for a few days over the holidays, so you will have to wait until next week for me to figure out photos, unless amnesia decides to post her own (I told her she could if she would like to).

I love this swap!

Oh, and I'll be traveling over Christmas.  I will have internet access, but it might take me longer to update things.  Also, I won't know if I receive any more packages until I'm back home on the 27th. 

Happy Holidays everyone!!

Woo, so many beautiful stars!

These are my stars from dessadoll.   Aren't they delightful?  She really went all out!



I've also received a lovely set from onyxnox, but haven't had a change to photograph them yet.

Ooo, so many wonderful things!  The newspaper/contact bags are so awesome!  (I may steal that idea for some Christmas gifts, actually...).  And I love all the knit/crochet!  This is such a fun swap, there should definitely be a round two next year.

Pretty!  I love the tiny yo-yos.

Ooo, those tiny star necklaces are so awesome!

The anonymous package is also pretty cool - the ribbon stars are very neat.  Whoever sent it needs to fess up!

I think at least half the swap was going to be late without the extension. 

Myself included!  I would have had to rush to get them out on time.  Now they are packed up and ready to be dropped in the mail on my way to work this afternoon though!  Yay!
