I am amazed!  The packages are so cool and I adore the little Christmas pudding.  It makes me want to make one this Christmas. 

The stockings are really cool too.  I like seeing all the different varieties.

these packages have all been amazing.... but my tired old eyes are really having a hard time discerning what the actual stockings look like.....  any chance of getting shots of just the stockings?  I would especially like to see the curly toed one.

Thanks everyone!

Well - its not the curly toed one...but here's the one I sent tor Retroeva

Oh my gosh.  That's so awesome close-up.  I didn't realize that you had used different textures in there.

OOH! I've never gotten teaser pics before!! And the Simpsons and rainbow fibers and shells and happiness are making me giddy with anticipation!  I sure hope I can hold out until Christmas! If I don't then I won't have a stocking that day.... hmm.... maybe I can guilt my DH into one and that way I'll have 2!

Here's the curly-toed one    I meant to post this when I posted the other closeups

Great stuff! It was killing me earlier to not be able to see the pics when I was online on my phone! I can't wait until Melvinator gets her package. I did a really "creative" packageing job. (I crammed the stuff in the box in an interesting way, something had to go diagonal in the box and the stocking got a big bent around!

Okay, time for some pics!

I received yesterday from blushingbluegrass, and I have to say she really hit the nail on the head! Let's begin the tour, shall we?



First stop, extras! Burt's bees, muffin mix from a local flour mill, a cute journal/notebook, and adorable salt and pepper shakers! Did I actually mention anywhere on the interwebs that I collect salt and peppers? That's some spooky sixth sense stuff going on there



Now for some crafted goodies:
 an adorable painting (I've named the pink fish Dory )
 handcrafted soap (swoon!)
 cute little bunny finger puppet
 gingerbread felt ornament, partially eaten!
 hand-carved stamp (so awesome, I've been wanting to try doing this forever)
 Nintendo controller shrinky charm



T shirts! One each for me and my man; we've got "Mischief Managed" for me and "My girlfriend beats me (at Scrabble)" for him! I lurve my shirt, I'm going to wear it to work tomorrow... and the boy saw his and said "hey, she even put the numbers on the Scrabble letters, that's pretty cool" which is about as close as he ever gets to glowing praise, so my hat's off to you! My apologies for the rather crappy photo, they're much better in person


...what's that? You wanted to see the stocking? Well brace yourselves for the coolest stocking I've ever seen!



Yep, that's right, Super Mario winter scene stocking! This is just the coolest stocking ever! Just... wow, this stocking makes me so very happy

...and just for fun, the kitties approved of your choice of packing material:



Thank you so much, blushingbluegrass for a really fun swap, I am totally loving all of my presents, and I can't wait for you to get your package!

That stocking is so cool! I love it! Oh and sezouli please don't wait until Christmas! Do you want me to wait because I am not so sure that we will be able to
