I received!  Hee!  It was quite fortuitous, as I was looking out the window when the postal truck arrived.  I watched my postal lady walk in our lobby with an envelope and I was like 'ooooh - swap goodies, maybe?'

*bounces*  I was right!

Thank you so much, Secret Santa!!!  I *adore* everything (if my abuse of the exclamation point doesn't make it obvious!)

The whole lot - two zippers (eee!  I get to play with zippers!), a scrap of a pretty burgundy fabric, some lovely book fabric, a cute little card, and a domino pendant with 'Keep Calm and Carry On' on it!



A (crappy) close-up of the awesome pendant:


Sorry for the glare ... it was the best of the lot.  The colors are much darker in person.  I also tried to get an action shot, but ... yeah ... it's Christmas, not Halloween, so I wouldn't want to scare you.   But, suffice it to say that I'm wearing the pendant as we speak!

Anyway, THANK YOU SO MUCH, Secret Santa!

Can you believe it? Here, where I live, YARN is OUT OF STOCK.

It's look like everyone is taking up crocheting/knitting this winter.

Everywhere, yarn is out of stock.
And I need to get some to make an item for my partner.

Can you order online or would that take too long to get to you? 

Hmmm, what about mounting the card on a piece of cardstock and putting it in an album?  You could write on the purpose of it on the card stock?

Or you could make the gift card part of a collage of some sort?  Or, if you're scrapbooky, you could make a page with a little note that says 'use me to fill this scrapbook with memories' ...

Good luck!

Oh, that is too funny, pixieval! 

And those I am sending to will be able to figure out with my post mark detective work probably, too.  I'm just wondering if everyone else will be able to tell who I am from the crafts themselves.

Such a cute idea! 

Hobby Lobby has ribbon 50% off. So here's the one I made. Thanks for the great tutorial!!!

Well, this is my first post and apparently I can't post pictures until my 10th post. So here's the link to my picture.

That looks great!  I love the colors you chose.

How could she not like it?  He's so cute!  Fantastic job!

Oh, that's so pretty.  Your friend is very lucky!

That is so cute!  I love it.

Have you tried posting this in the Holiday forum?   There's a thread specifically for idea help!

Also, what crafts do you like doing?
