Four potholders in lovely natural colors, and three green tins for organizing, one was filled with re-usable tea bags!
Just made some herbal tea and the teabags work wonderfully. I really loved the simplicity of this package, and that puzzlr wrapped everything in fabric and used a cereal box for shipping!
Thanks so much!

I haven't been doing much bookmaking lately, and to get back into it, I decided to make a little pocket journal para El manzana de mi ojo, de la semana. . . (the apple of my eye this week...)
 
I had a good roll of butcher paper that I planned to use.. but left it at home when I went to the studio to work. Instead of riding back up a hill, I stopped in the Antique Junkie, and bought a book entitled "Wild Animals I Have Known", for its lovely imagery and conveniently large margins!

the book is about 3.5x3.5 inches, covers made of matte board, covered in a beautiful batik (made by the recipient, he hated it but I knew I could transform it to something lovely). only 3 signatures, 32 pages. Coptic stitch binding... the inside coversheet (what's that called?) was printed by me from a sweet woodblock from India.

I'm happy! Sorry that the pics were taken on the mac photobooth, its the only way!










so those are a few samples of the pages; some have text, images, and blank pages as well. The story from the book I used was about a crow named silverspot and all the quirky things he did.
Now you make one =)

Come one  come all, admire the handmade wonders sent to me by geek_goddess!

annnndddd a tree fairy!
handsewn and stuffed! ahhh i love her especially the leaves in her  hair



this has been a great swap, and i hope geek gets my package with the swiftness and enjoys my goodies as much as I love hers!

Another common search for the perfect substitute is with milks!  Soy milk makes me feel gross and the thought of drinking a class of milk straight up makes me gag, and I have a strong stomach.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/itsaliger/32-ozBlissChocolateWeb.jpg
-Manitoba Harvest's Hemp Bliss (chocolate)
-Vegan and Canadian (whoo)
-about 3 or 4 bux
-0/5 NO DICE!!!  other people I have discussed faux milk with have agreed, something is just not right, some things should not be milked though I'm sure it's good for you and all that jazz.  Couldn't even finish off a glass of it.

but there is hope!
*insert backlit shining beam of light here*

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/itsaliger/AlmondBreezegroupshot.gif
-Blue Diamond's Almond Breeze, I prefer the unsweetened variety as it boasts only 40 calories a cup as per sweetened soy milk which can get up to 160
-Vegan Heaven
-$2 at the local grocers, $4 at Safeway(boo!)
-5/5 It doesn't have the suspect hormones of soy or the watery thinness of rice milk, it's something you can drink the plain unsweetened variety of and not spit it out and want your money back.  I have yet to find the unsweetened chocolate but oh my, the sweetened variety is fake milk at its glory with no chalky aftertaste.  Won't drink coffee without it. 

....
..it's awesome.

I totally agree with you that HEMP BLISS is crap. However, its a crappy brand of the AMAZING product that is Hemp-milk. Hempmilk has amino acids, omega-3's, protein, vitamins, iron, calcium, etc..and is way better for you than soy, dairy, or other substitutes. Although new on the market and a little pricey, I highly reccommend the Living Harvest brand of Hempmilk. Especially Vanilla. AMAZING in everything, especially with granola. holy cow, when it goes on sale at my co-op again I'm going to buy a whole case.




Vegan - Living harvest hempmilk
5/5 , so damn tasty.


and, Almond and hazelnut and Oat milk are just as yummy! Some people are put off by what they are made from, but who thought of drinking another species breast milk in the first place? That seems hella weird to me. happy munchin crafters!

This was soooo worht the wait, definitely the best swap package I've gotten, ever.
Kirstilynne, I feel the need to send you more amazing stuff, since you sent so much! anyhow, take a look all::


hand-drawn notecards, I recognize the dodo from my wist =)


Beautiful photo she took herself - seen in her own yard!


Bird necklace and green bracelet (<3 the colors, and the necklace is the perfect length)


Pardon the blurry pic, but I have eyed these little felt birdies on etsy, and now I own a gorgeous pair of earrings made by another crafter; munta


Another bad picture of wonderful stuff; embroidered birds, a notebook, owl pincushion/stuffie, and excellent ribbon wrapped bangle in a lovely bird print box.


these are decorative push pins, birds and other flying creatures =)

There is also a stuffed bird kitty toy with some nip. . . which was happily snatched up before I could capture a photo. they are still batting it around the house. thank you soooo much Kirstilynne!!!
