[InShambles]

I just discovered this thread! I am having a lot of fun crafting for OhThat and will be sending off Tuesday (hopefully!).

I received from IMIS today!  She claimed me for an Autumn themed hanging for my door.  She sent me a beautiful piece that is already in place. 



and of course... some dark chocolate...



Everything was wrapped so nicely and that cute little cupcake!  She also picked up a pack of jolee's boutique sticker collage for a birthday page or card.  Thank You sooooo much!

I was just going through mel's wist trying to figure out what the wisty surprise is going to be, god she has got some beautiful stuff on there! i am so happy I'm crafting for her, I've got so many ideas!

[IMIS]

Thanks melmakesmepretty! I had fun creating it! And I loved the colors, and thought they were real fall-like, and would go well on the sign.

I am sending out some Birthday goodness to IMIS on Monday since I missed my mail carrier today. 

To be a tease  ...

oooh, I love the wrapping paper!

[IMIS]

I received from elociNNicole today! Her needle-felting kit is unbelievable!


First off, here is a similar picture to her teaser picture she had posted the other day. A box full of the wrapped goodies!(Love the wrapping paper!)


A birthday card!!!


elociNNicole said she uses this roving for the insides of her projects, but can be used as the actual roving as well!


Absolutely beautiful roving! The colors are gorgeous!


More roving! Unbelievably soft!


A really cool pin-cushion/jar. Now what is inside you ask..........


.......all of this! She created felted earrings, which I have never seen before(I've seen them in pictures, but never up close), needles, sizes 36, 38, and 40, and a razor for shaving fly-aways.


elociNNicole also included a tips booklet in the jar of tools. This is going to be so helpful.


I have also laid out the needles so you can see them. On the left we have size 36, in the middle, size 38, and on the right, size 40.


Instructions to make my own felted needles. She also provided yarn balls so that I can start on the project using those.


A really cool, pen style needle felting tool. It has 3 needles in this one pen!


And last but not least, foam! She provided two types: High density, and biodegradable.

I am so thrilled with this package! Thank you so much elociNNicole for all of your effort, thought, and time that you put into creating this kit/package for me!
