If you want a sneak preview of mine (that I have sent and have been received) then look in my flikr album, in my profile....

I received a fantastic package from 2711 yesterday. I'll be posting pix tomorrow...

FINALLY I manage to post pictures of the fabulous stuff I received (I was trying to yesterday but my computer refused to recognise my camera...sigh.)

Anyway, here is what I received. 

To start with a bag my mum was incredibly envious of:

Pretty colours, and it is huge, has internal pockets and an elasticated umbrella holder. But the best bit is the big internal pocket with this on:

Too cool for words.

I also got a book to put all my time travel ideas into and the scariest girl doll ever (I love the little clown):


And last but certainly not least, my very own gymbag! Complete with period appropriate bbc logo


I have used the big bag already travelling back and forth to my parents, you could fit a small car in there 

THANK YOU! I hope you like my stuff, this parcel gave me serious swap anxiety (not least because I was late).

OMG, Evil Test Card Girl!

What a cool idea for a swap - sorry I missed it.

i'm glad you liked it - i definately got too obsessive about it! The inner pocket was meant to be an outer but my transfer paper didn't work terribly well and it was the last piece (the BBC one turned out better!) The reason for the bag fabric was it was the closest match to Hunt's coat - and the button is a proper 1970s coat one from my MIL's stash. The pocket fabric is genuine 1970s as well - from my friend's granny who left her sewing stuff to her!
The blue around the BBC logo is from the same stash.
There are a few more notes in my flikr gallery.

Wow, gorgeous stuff! And yes, one scary doll. Fantastic

I have of course already eaten the sherbet dib dab and the gloves and shirt are in use! I'm saving the big beaded necklace for the party season!
