lol, I was super paranoid about the envelope bursting if I stuffed it too full >.<

Don't worry, what you did get in there was AMAZING!!  I am sooooo happy with my envelope

After seeing how jam packed some of the other envelopes were I was a teeny bit upset that my envelope was not stuffed to the brim, but then I opened it, and OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!  It was PERFECT!!!!  It's true that great things come in small packages.  Everything in the package is exactly what I wanted and will get so much use.

Thanks to my AMAZING swap partner His_Girl!!!



cute penguin stickers, wonderful dried flowers (pink), pink beads in a bag, a bracelet on an elastic (that I think I will use as beads in a jewelery project, lots of mini halloween charms (my favourite holiday), a big button, a fantastic round white pendant, earring hooks, silver chain and necklace/bracelet clasps, and a wonderful frog pendant (frogs are my favourite animal).  

It's weird how well His_Girl seemed to know me!

Thanks Belladune for organizing this super fun swap.

I received yesterday and will be posting a photo soon.  I was supposed to be going out of town, and thought I would have to post after I got back, but the terrible weather and road conditions have kept me home.

My woman didn't attempt the slot. She just looked at it and said. "Hm, $1.22"

I wish that would have been the case for me.  If I had known it would have har to go parcel I might have crammed more in the envelope.

I had to send mine as a parcel.  I thought it would have been small enough to fit through, but the girl at the counter wasn't too keen on trying to hard to push it through.

Still no sign of package one. Sucky!

I have sent a message to the organizer and to bubblegum_phoenix (who has been amazingly patient) with a copy of my send receipt.  I feel TERRIBLE.  I have no idea what happened.  I will work to re-create my package one as best I can, but some of the things I sent were unique items that cannot be remade.  I sure hope it shows up.

off topic....

I found out today that after a year long fight:

    I AM CANCER FREE!!!!    

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

the fabric on the make up case is fantastic.

I adore the mini skulls garland.  I think I will have to add it to my "to do" list.

Oooo  you are so lucky lindyv321  Tim Tams are my *favourite* international treat.  I need to try and find them in Canada

The bag that sweetyetevil got with the tree silhouette is very cool.

Halloween stocking is such a good idea.  I just might have to start a new tradition with my husband

I added my day two photo and updated to give a better photo of my day one monster bag.  Now I am off to look through the growing gallery and comment on the amazing items!

Blah!  me too!  The send date came out of nowhere.  I had planned to send on the weekend, but it didn't happen. I have to make my crafted item tonight to get it in the mail tomorrow.
