I received today from J_Kievet
I'm very impressed with the culottes!

Thank you!

I have received from ShannonMB!  Super-fun!  I think I am going to wear it to my office Christmas party!


And I have now received from ALL my swappers!  Thank you so much!  All of these will go great with all my Green outfits (my favorite color!!!)

I received from browndog, and it was totally worth the wait!  Thank you so much.
she handmade a wonderful, simple small purse that is PERFECT for me!


Thanks again!  Lovely!

Thank you so much to my new friend, browndog:



I received her package all the way from Canada! and it had an awesome MAP in it!!!! (I'm a cartographer and I LOVE maps).  Also a totally cute photo of her beautiful dogs!  Love it!

And here is a little description of the items:



Thanks so much again!  Can't wait to try out the fabric!  I'm learning some new sewing projects, and can't wait to get better at it.

From Australia to The US/Mexico Border!!!!



Wow!!!  So excited!  Not included was the flake bar because I ate it.  Not what I thought it would be, but interesting nonetheless.

And beautiful fabric bowls!!! Unfortunately, the photos do not do them justice.



Thank you so much to schnerby for sending this!  I love it all!
And thank you to flower for organizing quite possibly the best swap EVA!!!

Here is my amazing octopus necklace by Paper Rose!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!  Amazing quality!

Thank you so much to Beccas_song for the wonderful mermaid papercut!  I LOVE it.  Mermaids have a special place in my heart because they remind me of Yemaya, a goddess and ruler of the sea in the Santeria religion.


And thank you to Puzzler for my newest crafting good luck charm.  I am SURE that wearing this while crafting my Etsy items will bring the sales fairy my way over and over and over again!



Our lovely organizer, GatorWrangler sent this to me!  Thank you very much!  I feel wiser.

And here's a lovely necklace from Avesthel:


Sloth003 made this wonderful zip pouch which fits my camera accessories perfectly:


And here is a re-usable shopping bag from dragonslair.  apparently it's made from used bedsheets.  awesome.


Thank you, Bobbiemay for the lip balm and fun tin.  This smells wonderful!


Thank you very much, RubyCopperhead for the wonderful face scrubbies.  I love green!


And thank you, the dreamer for the lovely necklace.

My offering of "Charms from Around the World"


These are necklaces made from vintage stamps from all over the world!
Make great gifts for both international jet-setters and armchair sailors!

I recieved...


An 'X' marks the spot box (perfect for me because I'm a cartographer!)
 

and inside....


2 tiny handmade stamps!  One compass and one 'x' marks the spot map stamp!

Here's how they look:  Awesome!




THANK YOU SO MUCH, zigg13pra!  Great work!

I live in Laredo, TX, about 3 miles away from Nuevo Laredo, Mexico.  In just the past few months things have gotten crazy over there, so I haven't been going across as much to shop or go to the dentist and optometrist.  Sucks! 
I made this t-shirt using the freezer paper technique (LOVE the FREEZER PAPER THiNG!), to show how tough I am.



Lesson:  Don't do drugs, kids!  I need to get some prescription sunglasses and will have to pay an exorbitant amount to buy them here in Texas!
