Just finished! I am super proud of everything for this swap. I hope texscrapper likes it all. I do still have to throw one little thing in that I can't do until Saturday sooo...I'll ship Monday.   Now...I have to get started on another swap--I picked somethnig that takes me a long time to do so I need the extra time for that.

wow -- quite an earlybird!
When you mail, I'll set up the gallery so we can drool over the goodies 

legatostroke - I am here but drowing in work! I have all your letters worked out and will be crafting them next week whild I have a much needed week off

I won'topen the package until I ship yours though - it will keep me extra motivated to get yours completed and in the mail quicker!

Not opening a package sounds like the hardest. thing. ever. Hahah. Take your time though. I actually can't believe I finished this quickly.

Crafting with dog hair seemed weird to me until I had someone needlefelt a sculpture of my dog. That's when I thought, "Oh I wish I had saved just enough for this."

I know we went through a few vacuums with my dog too--a white collie mix--with dark green carpeting throughout the house. My parents eventually bought something called 'the Animal'. I don't know what brand but I remember it being purple. That worked great and I believe they still use it (it's been 8 years maybe).

Just finished S and U! Actually, I have to add a 30 second finishing touch to S, but the thing I need is at my parents house so I'll grab it this weekend. It was leftover from my fiance's Halloween costume. I KNEW I would need it for something.

That means I have S U M E. I ruined R and have to buy another piece to start over. I'm getting started on the other M right now.

From Koreena---this little guy is super adorable! And now he is making friends with the 30 or so animals I have at my apartment (I have a ton more at my parents' until I get a bigger place). Love him! Koreena also sent some black and gold papers, tins and a map of Ontario all ready for crafting. Thank you!!

Finished an E and an M this morning!

Everyone's animals are gorgeous! Here's is my girl, Patch (miss her):



and my parent's dog, Nugget:

It sounds like I'm in the same boat as a few of you in that I sort of do a little bit of everything. The only thing I've tried and absolutely cannot do is crochet or knit. But I listed other things that I just don't feel like making myself but really want. I also listed that I'm happy to receive whatever someone is good at it since there are a ton of things I probably haven't even thought to want .

I think I have almost everything planned out. Just have to finish a painting for someone and order supplies before I get started. I've got 4 ideas that "can't go wrong" haha. I have an idea from my fiance that will be fun to try--hopefully that works. Annd I have half an idea for the last letter; it's like I have an adjective but no noun yet...hmmm what can I do ____ on? 

Received a great package from goldfishpollywog yesterday! I probably shouldn't have taken a picture of a black book on top of my black desk but...it's a perfectly inconspicuous book about the history of mathematics...


...with a safe inside in the shape of my XD!



Thanks so much goldfish!
