hm, so silent    Anyways, here's my bracelet from grapeicepop, who clearly did her research as this was an almost replica from my wists...but better because it included my favourite themes and colours

Here's the bracelet:

It was really hard to take a non-blurry pic, but it says 'dream', and there's an octopus, a steering wheel and an anchor from left to right between the letters.  

She also sent along some sea glass she was going to use in the bracelet, and a little storage bag.  Thanks grapeicepop- I love my bracelet!  Hopefully you like the one I made you just as much

I've received a bit more than half of my loot, so I thought I'd share pics:

In the first pic:


-cuddly panda bear from kwiltykate- I'm not sure if I can give her up yet, the heart-shaped eyes and nose are just irresistible 
-kawaii shrinky charms from psyche- I'm thinking of projects to use them for right now, maybe a charm bracelet or stitch markers?
-small wallet from sarahj2001 in cute strawberry fabric!
-love knots bracelet and earrings from fusbdgt that fits me perfectly
-flower hairclips from sugaree AND imafundork.  I got lucky and got clips from both of them, so I may have to share with a friend and give one away....because they're jealous of the cool stuff I keep getting from swaps 


In this second pic:


-bookmark from beccas_song- I love, love, love the image and the little embroidered flower in her hair! 
-bookmark/keychain from beefishie...this bookmark's already found its way in to a book and I took it out for pics

Thanks everybody for all the wonderful stuff!  Also, an update on my crochet warmers...nobody seems to have received them yet    I have a sneaking suspicion that they're lost or got misplaced somehow by the post office, but I've got no way of tracking them either.  If nobody receives anything by this weekend, I'll start remaking them.  Sorry about that 

Time to show off the purse I got from amc-!

So first, the purse...in a lovely grey colour I had asked for:

And the snap closing is too cute

And a shot of the rainbow-y striped lining, which I love:


She also sent a little compact mirror, a chapstick, and a whole loot of candy...more than I'd think would fit in any given purse 
   

Thanks amc-!  I love my new little purse

Received my last bookmark, from AlishaMisha- a Narnia themed bookmark! 

Front- can't tell from the picture, but there's glitter all over it which makes it look like it's snowing:


And back, it says "She has made a magic so that it is always winter in Narnia..."


The Narnia series were some of my favourite books growing up, and you have no idea how much I love this bookmark.  Thanks Alisha!

Finally got to the camera to take pics of the yarn I have:


Bigger pic here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/the-dreamer/4368265525/

From left to right: white, brown (with white strands running through), grass green, pastel pink, black, darker pink/magenta, and at the bottom a darker green.  

So everybody who's receiving from me, I'll be pm'ing you shortly for your top 3 choices of colour so I can get started on the wristwarmers right away

Caught up in the rush of school exams and forgot to post pics!  So, the bookmark that the lovely QuiltersBlock sent me...



The front is covered in stars, and the back is covered in this pretty blue paper   Thanks QuiltersBlock!

Oh fun- another round!  That necklace is so cute  As I said, I'll be offering fingerless wristwarmers...here's some pics.  It was quite strange taking a picture of my own hand...

I received the angel package from GatorWrangler today- look at this pretty locket!  And the clasp!  Absolutely love it 


I also received a facial scrub from ROYGBIVamber....aft er the angel package was sent.  It took it's time getting to me, and was completely frozen when I opened it. Here's a pic:

I keep forgetting to post pics up, so here they are:

A cool bookmark made from fused plastic by itchyfingers- she read that I liked unconventional bookmarks, and this is awesome!


Then, a crochet bookmark from Homerof2, I love the little flower on top! There's also a thread of silver running through the white thread


Thanks Ladies!

My gift from Tygir finally arrived, so here are some pics  

First, the cutest birthday card...can't believe she drew this!:


Then, this woodburned plaque of Aslan- when she said something 'book related' I totally wasn't expecting this!  The amount of detail is just amazing:


And finally, the scarflette, in the prettiest shade of blue  The stitch pattern didn't come out very well in the pictures though, so Tygir, if you've got better pics, please do share them!


Here's a group shot of the goodies I got, including some tea...


There was also some candy cane chocolate bark, but the bag broke somehow....so instead of putting it elsewhere, my family happily helped me devour it last night.  So....it was gone by the time I got to take pictures, and you'll just have to take my word that it was very, very good

Anyways, THANK YOU so much for all the lovely birthday pressies, Tygir!  I love them all and I can't wait to put them to good use
