Checking in, I've sent days 13-6, and received days 12-7 from my partner.

I love the colors of the soaps, but I HAVE to ask where did you find that wonderful pumpkin wrapping paper???

It's actually scrapbook paper, I got it out of "The Fall Stack" from Joann's. I just used two pieces for the photo

  My first soaps, glycerin in shades of orange, green, and purple. Delicately scented with green apple and wild berry. I'm also working on some skull shapes and pumpkins in fall colors and scents to use through harvest time and into Thanksgiving, as well as lollipop versions of all. I think they would be fun to give out at work at Halloween! I hope you like!

I'm still crafting, but it's slow going this week. My manager went on vacation and I have tests and a paper due, bleh.

I will be sending two or three packages. A lot of my higher numbered days are lighter, and my lowered number days are heavier/bulkier. So, I may send all three at once, but mix up the days in the packages so that the weight will be distributed. (I am however wrapping/packaging my days individually though)

I've decided to take a break from swapping after this one.  I want to be able to craft for my family and friends for Yule and Christmas this year since they keep asking me when I'm going to make to make things for them.  Plus during the opening of this package, I have to set up for Halloween, which is the biggest event in our little apartment every year hehe.

Oh sweetheart, my thoughts exactly! Every year I mean to start NOW on making all my gifts, but never do! Everyone always enjoys what I make and wonders when I'll make them something. I also have a long list of things my husband wants me to make him that I haven't gotten around to.

I almost have all of my bought portion done, I just need a few more things. I went to the party store the other day, and they had a sign that said Halloween 50% so I freaked and picked up some really cool larger items, and a bunch of smaller/filler items. When I checked out, it turns out only one shelf of Halloween was half off    Oh well, I got some cool stuff, but man was I peeved, and got a look from the husband!

  I found something I've been looking for today! I can't believe I actually lucked out and found it! I think my partner is really going to like it!

I feel like I can successfully complete my package tonight w/ no worries! I'm super excited if you can't tell!

I just wanted to post some more pics of the things Hollistercobabe sent me. My old camera has been laid to rest, and it took me a little while to get a new one. I couldn't get any shots of the s'mores she sent as the hubby ate all the bits before we could make them 

The necklace, baby cupcake, and cute card.


This is the only pic I could get of the glasses she etched, there was a second, that says Mr. Gross.

I'll be ready to send Monday. I still have a few things to finish up, obsessing mostly, about things fitting.

I didn't get to make as many clothes as I had originally intended, but I hope I made up for it with the other things I'm sending along.

Just checking in w/ my progress! I've bought some more supplies and a few things for my purchased portion. I have days 12 and 4 finished, and I'm working really hard on my day 6 items! I would have liked to be half-way finished or at least have all of my bought items by now, but stores still don't have much stuff.

Although Halloween has started to slowly creep in, I bought a big item at work, and my Joann's has a pretty good start on some items too!
