A crafty detective gallery of sneakiness!!

The scarflets are awesome!  And here is some mad love for the crocheted skulls!!

I received from Gamemom42 and I swear she sent me something to enjoy with all of my interests. My giant wist probably made her go insane but she has created the most amazingly perfect swap package in existence! Sorry for the bad cell phone pics, they do NOT do these items justice.

All together:


Hello Kitty shirt! It was the perfect size and I never even told her my size.


My very own Hoops & YoYo!!!!!!!


An awesome Irish apron that twirls when I spin around in it and it makes a big bow in the back the way I LOVE aprons to do.


A pot holder to match my apron and a mini apron!!


An action shot of Audrey in her unfinished kitchen:


You can't see all of the letters in the picture but it's for Beta Sigma Phi, my sorority! I think I'm going to steal her idea and make one for each of my sorority sisters!


Gummy bears.... drool.... my favorite. And a cupcake journal. My hubby asked me what I was going to do with the journal since I don't write and I came up with a good idea! All of these great cupcake and frosting recipes I see online I'm going to put them in my Cupcake Journal Cookbook!


And the most amazing thing, a cupcake tapestry/wall hanging. I really wish I could take better pics of this to show everyone the immense amount of talent that Gamemom42 has.


I'm going to post the thumbnail version of the cupcakes since there are six of them, but 3 are embroidered and the other 3 are puffed up on top. All different fabrics! This is just jaw dropping in person.







Thank you so much Gamemom42! If I would have seen all of this at a craft show I would have bought every single thing that you sent me. I'm still in shock of what an amazing package I've received. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I totally wisted the cupcake tapestry!

I'm so glad you like your package.   I'm relieved that you like the flower pot.  I wasn't super happy with it and almost didn't send it.  I'm thrilled that you like the idea enough to reproduce it for your sisters.

I was so proud of the quilt, but you almost didn't get it.  The day I finished it, my precious Scruffy went outside and came back in with some sort of gray powder all over her sweet little kitty feet.  I had the quilt on the ping pong table so I could get pictures, went upstairs to get my camera, and ( I bet you know what's next) she jumped up and walked all over that quilt.  I actually cried I was so upset.  I worked for several days spot cleaning and finally got enough of it out.  You can see a few water marks on the back but hopefully can't tell from the front.  All of the applique stitch around the 3 puffy cupcakes is done by hand, so I have many hours in the quilt.  I was just devastated when I thought it was ruined.  Scruffy has lost her crafting privileges for a while.

The Hello Kitty shirt wasn't supposed to be a shirt at all.  I cross-stitched it and realized that I had made it so small that I couldn't find a frame for it.  I couldn't figure out what to do with it and then I saw the t-shirts at Target and grabbed one hoping it would fit.  Luckily the pic on your profile shows how slim you are and I just went by that.

You were so much fun to craft for.  Maybe we'll be partners in another swap someday.  There's still a lot on that wist I'd like to do!

I'm totally intimidated to be crafting for gamemom42 now.

  that cupcake quilt is stunning

[gamemom42]

You are all just too nice. 

Snazzlecraft, you have become one of my forever friends.  I have been trying to "get wisted" for so long, and you're my first!!! 

Mellerific, I've seen your stuff too.  There is certainly nothing to be intimidated about, but you are sweet to make such a statement.

ok. Let me start by saying this has been the weirdest coolest week I've had in life forever!! I just found out that the grad school I didn't get into a month ago, gave me  conditional offer and then this AM I get a HUGE fed ex package from......{drum roll} my stalker!!!

I believe my stalker was Miss Whitney, who is AMAZING!!!

here is the whole lot


included is a BEAUTIFUL shadow box. I ADORE keys and cameos and there is this HUGE key in it. The picture doesn't do it justice. The cameo is gorge as well!!!


then there is the "goodies" i'll call them. a beautiful milagro, a key on a suede thong, a jar o' whimsies, magnets, candy and a fab altered matchbox (and my toe....for good measure.)


wait wait, we're not done yet!!

here are the spats. These are so well made and amazing!! I need to come up with an outfit to wear them with. I think I have the most PERFECT shoes to wear under them!! Spats are notoriously hard to photograph....just saying.



Here are some more goodies. I love tea. am moderately OBSESSED with tea. And some lovely thank you note!! I need to be better about sending thank you notes!!


and the whimsies!!!! I love this stuff!! (the bracelet says "I heart bones" which is rad!)



thank you soooo much!!!
