Halloween Swap 2008 Gallery of Spooky Goodness

[x0xmanda]

so i got my package last night! if any of you read my post over in the original thread, i'm sure you know how excited i am.

I quote Tero: "There is a bit of a generation gap going on but I am always looking for adopted daughters to spoil."

And spoil she did.

the whole bunch. a halloween teddy bear, a knit/crochet (i'm sorry, i dont know haha!) bag, which i think is made partly from recycled materials, a green paper lantern that i believe Tero jazzed up a bit with some gorgeous beaded trim, scrap spider fabric (<3!!), a pumpkin pincushion, a headband, and a spider pin. oh, and lots and lots of fun extras... plastic rings, shoe charms, erasers, skulls.. ah! 


take a look at the inside of the bag. adorable owl fabric and the cutest pocket i've ever seen. Its an owl with bead eyes! Love it!

and uhm, can we go back to that headband for a minute?


the fact that i'm putting such an unflattering photograph of myself online here is proof of how much i love it. you'll be pleased to know, Tero, that it got lots of compliments at school today!

d'oh! i forgot to take closer pictures of the pincushion. it was super creative though, a little ceramic jackolattern stuffed, the top hole where i'll put my pins.

what a wonder swap! Thanks soooo much Tero, you're the best.

Wow!   Super awesome stuff guys!! I got my package from starryeyeddiy - and WOWZA!! pure awesomeness! Once I fended the kiddies off.....at least long enough to take piccies...this is what was in my lovely box!

This lovely magnet (already on the fridge)


2 notepads (the eyeball & trick or treat ones), 2 mini pumpkins, and lots of spider (rings) ghoulies and ghosties!!


These are one of my favs - super awesome guitar pic earrings!!!!! Seriously - the hubby tried to take them so he could take the earring parts off so he could use them for the guitars 


Loads of candy (in cute Halloween boxes) and super awesome bat cutouts!!! Some sweet straws and NBC lipgloss!! Also had some spiderwebs, but the hubby stole them and is putting them in the yard.....


Another of my favs - the handmade wooden BOO! sign - proudly displayed in the kitchen 


Super cool pirate necklace (stolen by the girl) 


And the rockin' wooden hand-painted owl!!!! I love owls!!!


Witch stuffie (which my MOM tried to take!) with the pumpkin pincushion (how did you know I needed a new one???)


And the super awesome 2! long skinny scarves!!! Thanks sooooo much!!!

  Wow, I cannot get over those earrings! I don't blame your husband for wanting to steal them!

Here are the pics (finally) of what Knichole sent me:

All the loot together: there was a giant bag of candy corn, but the bf stole that already


The most adorable coffee cup cozy:

sorry, the pic kinda sucks, my camera was not cooperating.

Two pocketbook slippers:

I'm not totally sure how they work, but they have the cutest little pumpkins at the top:

Again, my camera is sucky at taking close ups.

And last, but not least, the most awesomest arm warmers I have ever seen!

The white parts glow in the dark!!! How freaking awesome is that?!
Action shot:

Only one, cuz I was taking the picture with the other hand 

So, Knichole, thank you so much! I envy your skill with the yarn. I will just sit back now and cross my fingers that all of your stuff makes it to you in one piece.
