it seems so odd to me that you can't get violet crumble in the states. can you get any kind of honeycomb like crunchies or something? if not, i feel sop sorry for you guys. it's the best!

Awesome! Have you tasted the Pollywaffle yet? What is it?

Awful.

I had my first one last Monday and I was terribly disappointed. It sounded so promising as well - chocolate, and a wafer tube with a marshmallow filling.

It's a pity, coz our Aussie lollies and choccy bars usually go down a right treat.

well i like them. when i stayed over at my nana's hosue as a kid, we would walk to the supermarket and get one choclate each. i liked to get pollywaffles. they've been around for ages (since my mum was a kid). i was trying to get a good sample of chocolate you can't get in the states.

so glad you liked the second package AlwaysInspired!!!! this swap was awesome.

wow this gallery is amazing. i totally wanted to do this swap, but i'd feel like such a phoney. i don't have tattoos, i just like the artwork

xladyluckx, i especially like those plates you made. would you mind telling me where learned how to do it? if not, all cool

this swap was totally awesome.  i'd definitely be in if there's a second round some time later this year.  altoids and ephemera is such a good combo!!!

Came back to add: Ever since Friday I thought that she put the little love bear on the bag because I had wisted it, so I went to take it off my wist, and I realized that it wasn't there! How did you know?

he's really cute! the bag is adorable!!! is he a character? b/c i think i;ve seen him somewhere...hmmm

haha if only i'd done embroidery for this swap - not that i can anyway but this swap has made me want to learn wayyyyy more than i did before. kudos ladies!

i've heard they are very expensive too...which is why i bought like 4 bags in thailand (fake obviously, but as good as the real thing lol)

awesome tin! isn't it the best when you'd given up any hope of a package ever arriving and it turns up and totally surprises you!!

WOW!! - Sooo many great new needlework packages!

*waves to fellow cross stitchers!*

accountantbyday, i really, really, REALLY <3!!! the subtle color changes in your design, the effect created is AMAZING!!!

EOcrafter, that owl design is super cute! - love how you depicted a whol birdy habitat!!
Pearliepie, it must be A FEAST to go through that 70's (80'S ??) needlework book!

Lovely_Gangster, believe it or not - this swap kinda "introduced" me to subversive cross stitch - and i already <333 it! 

haha before this i was also a subversive x stitch virgin.  i didn't get my patterns from them either, just kinda copied their style  eep!  "dishes ain't shit" was my abysmal attempt at being witty (reference to bitches ain't shit, although nobody probably got it because of how lame my weak attempt at humour was . ah well. we can't all be comedians.

I just have to chime in here...in the second picture, the paper with the little sheep on it...I LOVE THAT THING! When I was in Germany I saw it in a store window and a friend translated it for me. I took pictures of it and it's my desktop background!

sorry to hijack the thread. i just love that little sheep!

haha yeah i bought loads of sheepworld stuff while i was there, including a huge coffee mug that is affectionately known as "the bucket". it's about as big as a small flowerpot.

ohne dich ist alles doof literally means everything is stupid without you, but i prefer to translate it as everything sucks without you. awwww
