Nilmerg - I hope they are not swimming across!

extras from Pogo......I love them!!!!

So glad you liked them, I saw you were interested in typography. Glad you approved of the word.

Oodelally - glad you liked yours too!!

Those cross stitch inchies are so cute. I kinda want to see a whole alphabet set of them! How long do they take you, Pogo?

My time quote is probably going to seem ridiculous to other crafters but probably an hour or more for each. I only re-started cross-stitching from when I was a kid last month though, so they went a bit slower than intended...for being so tiny.

Eamea - glad you liked the silver pen and check out that song, it's great!

And now - all my inchies are received with these extras from crazyalien8! She crafted up many of my favorite things: trees, birds and leaves! Thank you! [With your lack of spare time you should do a tutorial so I can learn how you get so much dimension into your inchies!]


Thank you again to all of my swap partners for a great swap!

I love your HIRO too!!

I received from crazyalien8 and they are fabulous. I was also very impressed with the detail.
Did you hand-draw them crazyalien8?

Thanks so much crazyalien8.

And so my alphabet is complete, and again a sad end to real mail...

[From Nilmerg -]

What an awesome start to our gallery!

I received from two of my partners today: Nilmerg and Robinpich!

From Nilmerg -

The reindeer is so cute! Love the Xmas Pudding too!


The fun extras! I requested colors in blue and green.
I love the tie-dye and the tree!

From Robinpich -

I think the Dog is adorable and the pumpkin!


Love the structured pinwheel-like inchie and the birdie.

Thanks swappers!

BSB - I love your airships and the lighbulb is so great!
Averia - holy cow to your embroidery! That is awesome!!
Alchamy513 - I love your crocheted blimp!
Harvey - your steampunk ladies are so neat!

Sadly today I received the final two of my set.
First, from Ceemonster - this adorable airship - love her use of clay and copper!
I am happy Pogo is in Service to Her Majesty's Air Ship!


And lastly, from Ashgrim this cool ornament with gears and snowflakes. I am truly in love with the key too -


Thank you so much to my wonderful swap partners! You all rocked!

At the request of Bookstorebabe - here is the ornament I sent her:

Today was Christmas for me too! I walked out the door and there were three boxes (one was craft supplies)!!!!!

Last night I received from Bookstorebabe -
We share a love for the comic Girl Genius and she complete outdid herself with this awesome Agatha ornament. She has amazing detail in her dress, goggles, and even little wrench. Love her!

She is currently guarding my "green" room, I told BSB, I'll have to move some electronics out there so she doesn't go stir crazy.

Next box I dove into was from Eukarya -
I was honored to receive this gorgeous ornament with Santa and gears on the side. I've been impressed with Eukarya's art for years and am so excited to own a piece! It went straight to my tree!


My last fantastic box contained this wonderful piece by Habitat-lady:
Again, I was very impressed by the amount of detail - she managed to fit an entire airship inside the glass ornament and then decorated the outsides with clay, wire and a few gears. The photos don't quite do it justice:


Thanks so much ladies! I have been truly spoiled in this swap!

Harvey - great photos! I love the ducklings too, nice action shot! That sculpture is great too!

sjconner - love your photos of the cows and windmill! So different from what I am used to seeing!

I received from LiveLongandCraft!
She sent this adorable frame covered with sequence and 27 tiny photos taken with Fuji's instant camera, shown for scale:

I like the photo's unique size and retro quality. Here are some of the cool pics from her area:


Thanks for swapping LiveLongandCraft!

Hooray! My fantastic journal arrived!!
My handle appears on the binding and a lovely Hindu deity adorns the cover.
The inner cover has two envelopes, one was filled with whimsies (displayed) and one with an ATC: "Good people drink good beer. -Hunter S. Thompson".
The next page suggests an art project: "Take a walk, find a variety of neat leaves, and sketch them here."
 
Few other favorite pages - another art task to find old photos and make a story and great Dr. Suess image:
 
Lovely tree then an image with quote: "You cannot prevent the birds of sadness from passing over your head, but you can prevent them from nesting in your hair".

Page with song lyrics to a favorite song and my awesome extras: THREE pens (love them!!):
 

Ninja_Poo - thanks so much for this an awesome journal, I love how you captured my themes and all the decorated pages.
Wish we could have met and swapped over a good beer.
