Hey! I'm finally able to post pics! The first is an overview of the smaller stuff. My bought items were some yummy gourmet hot chocolate and an adorable froggie who hangs on the side of my potted plants. There is also a beautiful purple box full of goodness and an adorable handmade xmas card.



This is a close up of the card with cutsie lil penguins!



Here are all of the inchies that were inside the purple box. I got as close of a shot as I could while still getting them all in frame...aren't they marvelous?!



Here's a beautiful clunky necklace she made with a sun pendant. I don't know if she knows it or not but my patron god is a sun god so the little sun pendant is perfect!



And last but not least here is my travel embroidery case. Look at the lovely tree of life design on the front (straight off of a painting I had wisted) that she did by hand.





Needless to say I LOVED my package! I had the most wonderful package ever.

TC--The pendants I made Justforme are hand-painted. I made them out of Fimo and went acrylic crazy.

Everyone is getting such wonderful stuff! I am going to have to do this swap again next year. It's nice to be able to start Christmas a bit early.

Jungianwanderer - Im so glad you like everything! I didn't know that your patron god is a sun god, so cool!  I was wondering through Hobby Lobby and saw the pendant and just thought it looked like something that was your taste.  The big green hoop was actually a part off of an earring I added the sun to.  And it was my first time doing inches, so I was a little nervous about them.

They were great! I've been collecting them for a border around the top layer if my portable altar I'm building to take to Africa with me. Thanks to yours I finally have enough so I've taken them off of my wist. The ones you made mesh perfectly with those I already have so again, thank you so much! I really couldn't have asked for a better swap partner!

And yup yup, Lugh is a sun god. My friend's patron God is Belenos the first father and THE sun god and he was sooo jealous

Looks like only 4 more packages to make their appearances in the gallery....
I'm still waiting on my recipient to emerge - I'm about to start chewing on my finger nails - open your box already!  You're killing me here!

Everyone has been getting some great loot.  This is a great gallery!!

If I counted right there are still five packages out.  We still don't know if crazy4bags has received yet.

I was going to say, I'm still waiting for my recipient to receive, let alone post pictures of what I sent.  I have heard some packages taking up to 5 weeks to get to Canada.  Now I really wish I had sent priority to have peace of mind but it would have cost a lot more, though I am thinking now it would have been worth it.  Crazy4bags hasn't signed on for a few days.  I hope so soon.  I have little knots in my stomach.

I can post pictures of what I sent her, but I don't know if that would be appropriate just yet, probably not.
