The Fall Ball/Invite your Partner 3

[TheBon]

You've got great eyebrows Deepfriedkids. And the pantas are great. Duck stuff is super easy to find here in a range of items you'd likely never expect [like the bath beads] since that's our mascot [Fyberduck and I live in the same town.]

[taloola]

your headbands are awesome and i love the archery shot!  thats tuff.  the husband and i want to learn...but not to shoot cute animals!  just for target shooting!

That is some major panta mojo going on!

Groschveux wanted tosee some action shots of the headbands she made for me.  Here they are...

Looking good girlfriend! Now, I can tell where Drey got his good looks! 
I just have to say, that I love the flower print fabric I got from you. It's so pretty!

And that's one cool camo bow.

Thanks for your kind words.  I normally don't let anybody take pictures of me. Not to mention post them on the internet.  So my hubby was amazed I let him take pics of me before shower and makeup and hair fixing!  Trying to learn to accept certain things about myself.  So anyway,  Thanks M!!

I love my bow!  She kicks ass!!

Holy cow.  I think I agree with Sevs(?) on the "great stuff -- wisted!" sentiment.  I'ma have to go back through the gallery and take notes.  This swap has been AMAZING.

Speaking of amazing, my lovely date, Dorkariffic sent me a super-sweet package of wonderfully personalized goodies!

First, evidence that we were on a similar wavelength:  the package illustration!  (Drawing obscured by my shaky hands.  )



She sent a sweet letter describing the contents, but before I could read what she had to say, some laminated cards fell out of the note.  (I think I'll probably use them as bookmarks, since I have about 15 gazillion books going at once.)



Then, of course, I had to start digging in the package.  Read the letter, first?  Pshaw.  My loot:



Sweet.  A tiara I can wear on my impending 30th birthday, a Venus of Willendorf necklace with (I think) hand-made beads & charm, a beaded dragonfly pin, and a Viking Kitten helmet for my furbabies to share!

Check out the detail on the jewelry:


So I immediately had to get action shots of the helmet.  I wound up taking ten shots of Morkmer with the helmet.  I'm exercising great restraint, then, by sharing only this one:

   
and since my babies are 'lasky kitties, they can sing We come from the land of ice and snow ... with very little irony.

('Lasky = Alaskan.  It's cuter that way.  Like the cats.)

After I calmed down a bit, I read the letter.  Dorkariffic mentioned a detachable charm for my crown ... and I didn't see one, so I started digging through the box, again.

And came up with something PERFECT to take the sugary nature of the tiara down a notch:



Thank you, Fallon!  You were a blast to craft for and chat with.  I can't wait to start wearing everything you sent.  (At once, if I can get away with it.)

ooooooooooh that skull with the pink rhinestone eyes....  good lord i love that.

[teapotdnky]

Ha ha! That hat is fantastic!

[SevsOnlyGirl]

WOW!  I've never seen so much great stuff all in one place!

Chloe - I am totally PM'ing you about that zombie fawn, I NEED one for my friend's birthday!
