I'm so glad you like everything l_coburn85  I was gald to get rid of some stuff.  I only had to buy 2 spools of thread but they were half price.  It seemed I had every color of thread except for the color I needed.  Actually I ran out of one color when I had only about 6" of topstiching to do.

I've received a great package from Samsara ! This week is being really hectic, so I'll try to post pics on Friday or Saturday, but I have already worn the skirt she has crafted for me and it fits ! I hope she receives soon !

[Samsara]

Hurray! I'm so pleased! The size of the skirt was the thing I was most worried about *lol* 

[girlwithsixarms]

I received today! I'm so excited! I'll be posting pictures either tomorrow or late tonight.

I received yesterday from one of the best swap partners EVER!!  Thank you so much Jennyleigh.  I absolutely love everything you sent me.  I have lots of pictures, just to warn you.

My AWESOME apron.  Tons of pockets and it has my name on it!



Crazy hat (and not the best picture of me.    )



Matching wristwarmer:



Pretty Christmas bag:



Neck scarves and a stocking full of treats for my little Jesus:



Fluffy Scarf:



Yarn, beads, scrap paper, cupcake cups, Harley stickers (I am a biker chick!) and a needle book.  I forgot to take a picture of the gingerbread candle.  But it smells yummy.



Thanks for organizing TAOJ and thanks for a wonderful package, Jennyleigh (Leigh is my middle name).  I can't wait to see everyone else's packages.

Now for the flipside of this pairing ...

I was so humbled when I received my package yesterday from TwistedRedhead.  Every item is so classy and elegant.  She was so generous and is a very skilled crafter.  I was blessed to have been paired with her, and I would be thrilled to be partnered with her again.

On to craftalicious goodness!

Decoupaged box (which has already found a home in my built-in bookcase):



Handmade cards (the red one is my absolute fav, and I'm glad she wrote on it, so I won't be able to give it to someone else     )



Origami ornaments, handmade book/journal (she actually made a book!), glass bead earrings (I think she even made the beads) and a beaded star ornament



Everything (excluding pliers) that I need to begin beading (which I had expressed an interest in learning) -- Beads, jump rings, clasps, wire, earring wires, etc. and a beading instruction book



Thank you so much TwistedReadhead!  You were the most amazing swap partner!

On another note ... I have a 50% off today-only coupon from Michaels, and I am going to use it to buy beading pliers.  Yippee!!!

[TwistedRedhead]

The earrings are actually lapis lazuli, a semi-precious stone.  I wish I could make those beads!  I would save so much money at the bead shop!

I am so glad you like everything, Jennyleigh.  I had a lot of fun putting the package together for you.

I am so not stone savvy.  I guess "Lapis Lazuli" on the earring card should have told me they weren't glass.  duh     Either way, they're beautiful.  Thanks again!
