Hi again Charlie,
I just got your letter...I did get last months too, it seems I forgot to respond to that one Life has been crazy for me as well, so I know how you feel.
Sounds like you had a good month, exahusting, but fun!
My mom is worried about the same things all of the time too. Right now she wont eat sugar, flour, dairy or meat...it changes often.
Sometimes its hard to watch someone that you were once with 'carry on', not because of any feelings for that person, but I guess your own memories with them.
Well, until next month...
Your friend

I managed to post what CTgirl sent me in the July unconditional swap gallery Is there a way to get it moved over here? Or should I just repost it here? Sorry

I got spoiled too!! CTgirl sent me some awesome fabric to add to my stash!
Here is a group shot of what she sent me

And look how pretty it was all wraped up, I saved the paper too, I like it a lot

Thanks so much CTgirl, I have been having tons of fun using the fabric!!

Edit: OOps! I posted in the wrong gallery!! Any way for this to get moved to the July birthday swap??

Hi everyone, my B-day is on the 17th also, and I will be 27...
Here's my list:

Supplies:
I would love to have more fabric, I am a junkie, and a horde. I will keep even the smallest pieces of scrap fabric, so if you have some hanging around you don't care about, I would love to have them. Thanks so much CTgirl, I can't wait!!!

The same goes for misc. buttons, trims, ribbons, patches...any notions. I make a lot of doll clothes for my daughter, so I use up quite a bit of this kinda thing.

Kits:
I would love a needle felting kit, or a spinning kit, or a resin casting kit. These are all crafts that I haven't tried yet, but would really like to.

Crafted Items:
I could really use a big bag for the beach, or day trips, family outings, I have two kids and we tend to pack a lotta stuff when we go out.

I would also love a long swishy hippy style dress (if you choose this PM me for measurements)

I love other peoples art, and would like to have some to hang on my walls. This could be anything really, a pencil drawing, a painting, collage, mixed media, I don't have any certain color schemes or themes in my home, and I am not offended easily, so anything goes with this one.

I really like handmade bath products, soaps, lotions, lip balms, shampoos. I don't have any know allergies and like almost any scent. I am a pretty easy person to please

I would love anything based from my wists

And, of course a surprise is always so much fun

Thank you so much in advance if you choose to craft something for me. I am sentimental when it comes to handmade goods, and will treasure just about anything someone puts time into for me

I would be interested in this one too.

Hey Charlie,
I am so sorry you lost your power. I loose mine a lot too in the winter, it makes you appreciate it much more when it comes back on Hail is pretty neat as long as it isn't destroying things. Your friend sounds a lot like me in some ways. I always have felt like a tom-boy and seem to get a long better with the guys. But at times I secretly wish I was more of a girly-girl.
I love making my own stationary, but it is still fun to buy some. I am addicted to paper products, and could spend hours and lots of money in the scrap book section.
I think that your 'family' sounds pretty neat, and would be a lot of fun to be around.
Oh noes...mice
till next time,
your friend

Hey Sewmuch4kids, I am so sorry I haven't publicly thanked you. My kids love everything you sent. My son hasn't put the bugs down, and my daughter loves the shirt. I have been meaning to get some action shots of them, but haven't had any time. Thanks for the awesome stuff

I am glad everything made it there safely and that your kids liked everything This has been a fun swap, and I can't wait for my kids to get their surprise in the mail!!

InkKitten made some very cool things. My husband was so impressed. He never really got into my swapping, but now he is starting to pay a little more attention

OOOhhhh Colin's package just arrived from InkKitten. Now I need to wait anxiously for him to get home from work I can't wait to see what goodies he got, and I can't wait for him to see how talented Craftsters are!! He's finally home, and I have pictures!!
InkKitten spoiled him rotten, and he knows it, he is literally beaming right now over the coolness of the stuff she crafted for him
Here he is with TWO stenciled t-shirts, we both love pitbulls:

Some very cool pant-leg covers for when he is giving a tattoo:

A sketch book covered in Dungeons and Dragons Online pcitures, It's a MMORPG that he loves

His words: "F***ing Phat! We gotta hang these up!" pair of boxing gloves that InkKitten painted on (major talent)

And here he is with most of his goodies (had to show you how happy he is)

This swap was so cool, and so much fun! InkKitten was the absolute perfect partner to craft things for my husband. They had a ton of stuff in common.
**OH, and please bookmark this swap, there will be a surprize ending!!**
