Here are the amazing things IllusionsOfNormal sent me.

Everything together. I love the pink and brown on the scrapbook.  And she used my screen name as a theme.  And the absolutely beautiful embroidery on the towels.  And she made her own rubber stamp of a sparrow.  And the cutest little pie magnets.  A blueberry pie and a cherry pie.  And since I live alone I asked for a cookbook with small recipes and she found me the perfect one.  And a card on orange contruction paper made by her daughter.  I love that too.  My kids used to call it destruction paper when the were little.

These towels are amazing she did a very professional job on them.  I love the cakes and cookies.

A bit of the insides of the scrapbook.  I would love to show you every page but I have dial up so it just takes to long.  But she included some really tasty looking recipes.  I can't wait to try the spoon yeast rolls and Dad's favorite pound cake.  And the inside is all decorated with sparrow pictures and quotes and she includes personalized recipe cards and a section to keep additional recipes.  And some bookmarks too.  She sure knows how to put a smile on my face.  She usede the sparrow stamp on several pages.  The scrapbook I can tell has a lot of thought put into it and I can't even begin to tell you how much I was blessed by it.

I am so glad you liked everything eye_on_sparrow!  I had the best time putting together my first swap package.  I hope you don't mind me adding a few more pics (I have a broadband connection, so it only takes a minute).

Here is a closeup of the stamp I carved.


Here is one of the cardholder pages I put in the back section, in case she needed a place to put some handwritten pages.


And... here are the cookbookmarks in a pocket in the back.

I am so glad you posted some more pictures IllusionsOfNormal.  I so wanted to show a close up of the sparrow stamp I even had a few pictures taken.  But I was just getting tired of waiting on the downloads.  You did a fantastic job on your first swap.

Thanks everyone!  I think crafting for someone else really inspired me to be extra careful because the stuff I do for myself never turns out this well.
