I Sew Cute was kind enough to send me a little mini-package as a thank-you for organizing, and I just wanted to post a quick picture!


She sent me some Indiana Jones trading cards, some magnets with Indiana Jones images (which I love! especially the comic-book style one!) and a nice thank-you note.

THANK YOU, I Sew Cute! It was awesome of you to think of me!

Received my final card!!


I still dream about my high school crush
Graduation was years ago

Pictures pictures pictures!

So first thing I saw when I opened my amazing package is an Indiana Jones action figure... he quickly joined the ranks of my Action Figure collection, also known as my Jack Sparrow Action Figure collection.


I think they will get along great.

And then there were some AMAZING Shrinky-Dink Earrings with Henry Jones and Henry Jones Junior.


Bad picture... if you have any better ones, hippiejo, feel free to post them!

Not one, but TWO shirts!


Cheesy action shot.


Nuther one... the stencil is amazing!

And then I came upon this curious homemade pouch...


What could be inside?


Polymer clay whip charms, that's what!! Yes!!

Last but not least... an APRON!


Yes, it's amazing. But even better...


It's reversible!

Okay, I am really rushing right now, but I LOVED EVERYTHING!! thank you thank you thank you hippiejo74!

Okay, folks.

So tomorrow is our school's annual girl's choice dance, Morp (Like prom backwards!). Basically the girls ask the guys and instead of wearing matching formal wear, everyone wears matching t-shirts!

This year I screwed up my courage and asked a guy I've wanted to talk to for a long time, who is so painfully shy and a wee bit nerdy (no worries, I am too). He said yes (yay!), so I decided I wanted to make it his best Morp ever! So, a great Morp is started by... great t-shirts!

Anyboo. I decided to paint some of my own t-shirts, since I have painted t-shirts before and that was a good way to personalize them, etc. And I really like to doodle and such, and I'm always doodling hybrid creatures, and these two animals are my creations, and anyway... let's stop dawdling here...

His:

"See you later, snailigator."

Mine:

"After a while, crabodile."

I hope he likes them. Maybe I'll be able to get action shots tomorrow, since that is the day of the dance!

Comments would make my day!

I received an AMAZING jar from chanemza today! Seriously, ladies, it blew my socks off! This is chanemza's first swap, and I certainly hope it is not her last, because she is a winner!


So basically, I got my package in my car today, and i couldn't help myself- I just tore right into it! I was halfway through getting all the loot out, and there was no turning back. There is no way I could have restuffed it-- chanemza crammed it to the gills!


Oh my gosh! Is this not the coolest, cutest thing ever? A snail applique on the jar. I love snails!


All the loot together! Notice the ribbon, buttons, and fabric scraps (all of which I am in desperate need of.)


One of the handmade things, I presume... an awesome clothespin dolol! I love it! It's so old-fashioned and elegant. I totally get into those kinds of things.


One of my favorite things I received... on first inspection, you'd think this was just a tin full of herbal tea, right? Chanemza asked me in an email if I drank tea, so I just thought she had decided to send some along to me.


But it was full of seed beads! Gorgeous, coppery seed beads, might I add.


And another favorite things-- some earrings! I just love them!

I have to say, I have just loved doing this swap! Chanemza and I have had some awesome communication, probably the best I've ever had with any of my swap partners! I really really enjoyed talking to her, and I hope to swap with/alongside her in the future!

THANK YOU CHANEMZA!

Card number nine!


"I am so scared that I am unlovable."

I hope my last card is as fantastique as my others have been!

New secret!


"i wish you would hit me or cheat. So I had a reason for divorce that wouldn't make me look bad."

On the back was this note with different handwriting that was scribbled out: "Congratulations! You crazy kids."
(Sorry to the sender if they didn't want me to post that, but it added to the effect of the card for me.)

[ALS]

Major update! Four cards!

ALS

I wish you were still in our lives, so SHE'd be out of them.

Body

I used to think I look like this [arrow]. I DO have curves, but I'm not fat. Actually, I look more like this ['nuther arrow]. Thanks a lot, Dad!

Housewife
Front

I'm terrified of becoming a housewife.

Back

It's not that it's a bad way of life, I just want to be so much more.

Library

On the back, it says: I stole this image from a library book just because I could.

Two more secrets!


"Nothing was more perfect than when you held me and told me that you loved me too."


"When my niece was born, I pretended I didn't see my dad crying. It was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen."

I got a card a few days ago, but my laptop is on the fritz, so that's why I'm just now posting it! Sorry!


On the back it says: "I know what you did."
