[rira]

OOOOOOOK. Here we go y'all. Everyone sitting? Ok..


this was the first thing I got out of the box. a poly clay covered wine glass that looks like a rose. it's very work intensive and i am tres impressed. it looks GORGEOUS when the light is coming out from it, but I cant seem to get a decent pic.


there were also lots of minimicrobes! I love these guys! they were on my wist, and they are completely lovely. my so couldnt figure out why i was so excited to have herpes, hiv and mono on my floor 


i've been lusting after me some arm warmers for a while! these are my favoritest shade of green and super cozy and I adore them. i cant wait to wear em to school.

finally, I got a whole bunch of poly clay yummies. I made the group shot clickable, so I could save some room for the awesome closeups!

there were 2 gorgeous gorgeous st pattys day pins, that I cant choose between , one might just stay on my bag for a while. also, there was a filligree egg that she said had a REAL chicken egg inside. I need to get stand for it.

this pic has the st. pattys day bracelet (a left behind item from teh 12 days swap) plus an ADORABLE easter egg basket, a bouquet of flowers, shamrock earrings and valentines day convo heart earrings. there's also a super adorable i <3 coffee pin.

finally, the bon bon goodies. these make me sooo hungry! there's a ring, a lapel pin and a bobby pin, all of which have a little bite taken out of em...

i <3333 my package kishcrafts! and im sureeeeee i'll be bugging you the next time an IYP comes around.

glad you like your goodies! the wrist warmers were made by the fabulous sundayafternoonhous ewife. i asked her to make them for me so i could give them to you since we all know i cannot knit or crochet to save my life! thanks for the wonderful swap friendship we have!

The mini microbes were so fun to make. Lots of hand sewing but well worth it. It was fun to throw them at mr.kishcrafts and say "haha you've got TB!" he was not very amused, but I was!!!

the egg should stand on its own, the bottom is flat, but a stand would be nice too!

me a claymaniac.....YEP, that's ME!

I have some pics of the wine glass lit with a votive inside it, I will upload them on weds when I get back home. You have to take the pic on the fireworks setting (if you have one), makes it look like it is glowing.

Anyway, there you have it. They are identical to each other. I want to see what these things look like full of your stuff!!

I promise, I'll take pics as soon as I can.

I stuffed the bag and wow! it holds a huge amount. BUT is was incredibly light. The funny thing is, it looks like a diaper bag at the moment. Will have to unstuff it slightly.

I love it! The flap is perfect.

How come it's always sunny up untill I take my camera out to take photos of swap packages   
Anyway, with the help of my nifty photo-altering program I managed to get some decent photos of the awesome things DropDeadSuzie send me. I had asked her to become my partner, because I really liked the sleeping pants she offered in the "shop the swap". Little did I know then how much she would spoil me!!! 
Take a look yourself:

Do I hear an OMG? Well, atleast that's what I did when I opened the package and more and more things were revealed...and much squeeling to the annoyance of my father who wanted to take a nap 
There are so many cute and nice things one doesn't know where to start describing! Let's start with the THREE sleeping shorts that all fit perfectly and one has already been tested(aka slept in  ). I love the owly prints of all three, though I think if I had to pick a favorit, it would be the one in the back. They are really comfy as they aren't super tight(a problem I have with most commercial made shorts; sorry, but I don't need to look hot when I'm sleeping  ).
   
Then the owl theme of the package continues - btw. ever since stalking looking at DDS's wist list I came to fall in love with those cutesy owls, it's like she has been reading my mind as I think I added the owl stuff to my wist list just a few weeks ago) - with an owl purse inspired by one on my wist list! I love the color combination you chose DDS 

Then there was all this yarn in my package!!! The blue/purple skeins are 100% wool and suitable for felting->knit+felted bag in the future!
 
This little bag comes in really handy as I sleep over at my bf's alot lately, but lack the right sized cosmetic bag up untill now 

And it's not over yet! She also send me these two cute owly necklaces and stitch markers! I swear a year ago I could count on one hand the times I have worn a necklace, but since swapping for a few, I wear one atleast once a week 
   
And though I didn't take another photo of them, I also got a pack of Sharpies(cool, wanted to try them for some time), candy(yes, that JellyBelly is already open) and the latest issue of Craft magazine, which I think I will now subscribe to!

Thank you so much DDS!  This package was just fabulous and I feel totally spoiled! You can be sure to get another small package from me to make it even!
