FINALLY! all of my items i recieved from pheonixfiredesigns were intended to be gifts. i was so excited when i got the package i immediately gave them to their intended. well after chasing the giftees around i have pics (all except the bracelet which my mil has and she in the hospital in the city)

amazing cell phone charms!! the birds nest is on my sil's phone cause it matched so perfectly. the phone and charm were her 16th bday gift. the gold phone is mine and the tree of life charm matched it perfectly!


key chain which immediately went on my key but my hubby ended up with my keys (it looked very manly on him  lol)


there was also a little vile with pink beads in it  which will eventually get on a charm lanyard and a breast cancer charm and a gorgeous pair of earrings that i risked pain for to wear they were so pretty!


there was also a skein of bernat bamboo yarn but that immediately went right into an afghan ive been working on

I received last week a MASSIVE  swap package from Koalascout –It was more like 2 whole packages!!!
WE  had an electrical storm on the weekend
Then as I have given my 2 weeks notice to my current job –I have had to do some extra shifts.
I haven’t been able to post pics til now.
I’m really sorry to have kept you all waiting –but it’s worth it
Firstly the whole loot:

The first ‘package’ which if I had only gotten this bit –I would have been completely STOAKED.

A Beautiful pillow –with insect material.
I love this insect material!
A chrocet hook holder –complete with 3 hooks –coloured hooks!
and a little bag of stich markers –too cool!
a little cuff and
tea bag holder/wallet
Flip the pillow over and OMG look at the amazing embroidered dragonfly – I’m IN LOVE WITH THIS!


SECOND PACKAGE – Which again if you had only sent this half I would have been absolutely satisfied!
A ton of earrings –to go with my huge earring LOVe/Fetish –lol
Was in total overload here!
   

Some of my faves:

 the ‘no parking here’ signs, hockey charms (lil brother plays and LOVES these!, baseball charms, evil duckies, Hardware store charms _i work for a huge hardware storm –wearing these on my next shift there!, little frogs and light bulbs.
Some cute bracelets!

I’m sharing with the little girls next door-they love the DIAMOND ones
My fave among the bracelets –it has so many craft charms –sixteen – I counted!
A friend recently got something similar from the Degas exhibiton here –And I adored hers –not I have an AWSOME one of my own!

some of the charms –quilter, I <3 stamps, paintbrush, crayons, spinning wheel etc.
Interchangeable necklace charms –with match earrings –MORE EARRINGS!


Little containers that held some of the goodies-

 the weekly pill box could help me pre choose my earrings for the week –hmmm. Lol
Koalscout drew a little dragonfly on the heart box!
The dragonfly box is chocca block with all my new earrings an jewellery!


The extra’s –

strong nail polish –to treat the earrings she sent me –to curb my nickel allergy –here’s hoping it works –cause I LOVE all my new earrings!
Atlanta key rings,
little shrinky wishes –dog of happiness, prosperity frog, timeless turtle
key ring with charms
creepy dummy pin for pinboard! Lol
