Agreed!  Those stitch markers were adorable, the bag looks awesome, and I love those curtains!  Great color!

And in superhooker's package to onered boot, the shawl, mittens, and vest... wow.  Wow!

Comsume less, live more - love that.  And the shawl.

I will ooh & aah over the roving but frankly I'm not a fiber person so I don't know anything about it.     Nice bright colors, though!

So many great packages everyone!! Hard to pick favorites. I really love the curtain colors.

OK, finally uploaded the FAB items I got from goldfishpollywog!!!


The whole lot.  I can't believe she got me the HUGE amount of fabric she did AND fit it in a flat rate box!!!  What's funny is I ended up doing a personal swap with another craftster, JadedJenn, for IKEA fabric, and she sent me 5yd of the trees too   I am SOOOOOOO set on trees for a LONG LONG time.  I sent goldfish a MASSIVE list of ALL my faves from IKEA's fabrics, and left it up to her what to get me, and I'm so thrilled with all of these prints.  Oh, and there is a bonus baseball or softball printed fabric that I am SO going to either use as lining in a purse for my girl or make some kind of something out of for her...she plays softball



Fab crab bag (say that 10 times fast!)  goldfish says Joanne's in her area is all out of this fabric...I thought it was vintage fabric!  Some parts of it are 'sunrinsed' and faded looking, like from being dried outside, or washed n stuff.  LOVE IT!!!!  And the crab embroidered pocket is to die for.  She made a pattern for it from a character in the fabric...see?



I also got some other nifty supplies and doo-dads...




LOVE the buttons, they are adorable   And the mints look yummy...I wonder what rose actually TASTES like vs SMELLS like??  And the hand carved eraser stamp ROCKS!!!  I will have to dig out an ink pad and use it on cards n envelopes I mail out.

Additional items not pictured are a cutie little owl applique to iron on and sew and Riscky Dust from a local Texas steakhouse...as I LOVE local 'flavors' and what's funny is we have Monkey Dust here and it is a sweet n salty mix, where this dust is a spicy mix.  Can't wait to put this on some steaks on the grill!  Thanks so much for a wonderful swap!!!

I got an awesome package of papery goodness from amaryllisroze today!

We swapped 6 items.
1) Supplies:

Fun metal numbers, two stamps: a bingo card and a rabbit, brass and metal tags, a huge key, and some yummy ephemera from the 30's.

2) A chunky house:

I love the wooden ruler roof and the "Destiny" address tag!

3) and 4) A 5" by 5" piece of art, and 9 framed inchies:

I can't wait to frame the art and hang this and the inchies in my craft room.

5) A reconstructed altoid tin:


Inside:

I love this to pieces! I must find a good spot to display this. I can't decide if this or the next item is my favorite. I believe they both are. 

6) A wild card item (artist's choice)

Look at my new Fairy Swapfather! The door of this shrine is glass, so I opened it to take a glare free picture. Isn't this awesome? Don't you wish you had a Fairy Swapfather? If you did, you might get awesome goodies from aroze!

Thanks so much, aroze. This is a great package. I always love swapping with you!

What amazing packages!  I can't even call myself a papercrafter next to you guys!
I am jealous of the whole package rackycoo received!

I am also in love with the handcarved fairy stamp!

[amaryllisroze]

I cheated on the ruler on the chunky house...its actually scrapbook paper, glued to chipboard and held together with a brad.  

And I figured as a swap mod, there might be times when you could use a Fairy Swapfather on your side.
