Ok, after much delay, for which I am profoundly sorry, Sapphire, here is the wonderful things I recieved from TheSapphireMoon...  I do not have a picture of the who jar packed up because I ripped it open and dumped it out on the counter in the post office 


First is the whole pile, followed by some closeups...











These are my favorite bits -



and these are the wonderful things she made for me...  I couldn't even begin to choose which bracelet I like best







Thank you so much for such a wonderful package!!!

freestyle, that necklace is gorgeous! And I love those coasters.

leashhh, it looks like you jar was full of some pretty neat stuff. That little fan looks so pretty.

Kerallyn,  that rainbow bracelet is so cool! I'm super jealous. I love the beads, the shark tooth, and the cupcake that's freaking out. Such a cool jar!

Saphire is a ubber cool partner. Some of those whimsies look so so familiar for some reason, cant quite put my finger on it. hee hee  Sapphire you are so getting more of those chick beads. hee hee They are like bad pennies for you. 
I love her bracelets so much, once you wear it you wont want to take it off. The girl has some jewelry skills.

I received from the fabulous Sarad!  My camera is currently being carried around by my nature photographing husband, so I have to wait until he returns to take pictures.  I love everything though!

Great packages everyone -- the sock monkey, the coasters, the fabulous jewelry... it all just warms a whimsy lover's heart.

Freestyle...I'm glad you like everything...this was my first whimsie swap, and staying away from the little kid's toys made it kinda hard I think!!! I have a way better idea for the next one though.

also, LOL that is the infamous pickle jar (that would not lose it's smell), but not the first pickle jar, which was about 10 cups large. this one was 46 oz, so I figured that would be ok to use. glad it smelled like coffee & not pickles!!!

my mailman comes at about 3...YAY, can't wait!

I received!!!!!!  I am going to update the first page of the post so please tell me if I get anything wrong.  Then I am going to post pic of what I got from Goodtimegirl prepare to be jealous.  Then I will post a pic of what I sent to her. She asked me to in a pm. 

As far as everyone's whimsies I can't even comment cuz I saw so much stuff that I really liked.   I love the wooden chest.

I'm so glad you like it!! I was having major swap anxiety after I received yours.

And, ugh! My camera is refusing to take pictures. I can pull up the pictures I've taken, but I can't take any new ones. I'm not sure what I've done to it, but the hubbs is torked off at me. We have another camera in the house, but it's his uber-technical one that I can't for the life of me figure out.
