Sorry it's taken me soooooooo long to post pictures.  I haven't had the chance since my family was in town over the holidays and they were well... sort of demanding of my time.

Here's what I got from craftpuppymom:











there was also a bag of twix, but they didn't make it to the photo taking... 

Thank you so much!

Oh my god... I LOVE the shadow box idea in picture 3... I am SO stealing your idea... I really really really really really hope you don't mind... but I must have it... That is VERY beautiful.

FruityLoops, where in the world did you get that zombie food pyramid?  One of my friends at work would go absolutely crazy for that.  Great packages.

I've been informed that I need to get feedback to everyone (in a more timely manner).  Silly noob organizer, I didn't know that I shouldn't give feedback as pics were posted.  Apparantely, it's sort of a blackmail kind of thing.   Looking back on it it does make a certain kind of sense.  So, it will be noted (in your feedback) if you did not post pics in the gallery before today.  As we had no flakers, everyone gets positive feedback.  You ladies were an amazing bunch of swappers, especially for a first time organizer.  Thank you all so much!!!

Here we go! In my defense, I've been a sicky sicky girl since before Christmas. I don't think I've been this sick in my whole life. I did get a beautiful package from Angelicus, and it made my Christmas so much better!

Here's the loot. There are a couple crochet dishcloths (could be trivets, but I'm washing with them), and a trivet, a crochet pouch, a ton of hair stuff, a pretty bracelet, some English recipes, napkin rings, journals, altered tins, my first magic yarn ball and lots of chocolate, nescafe, and tea!

Close up of the hair stuff. 3 headbands and a ton of bobby pins! They are all in heavy rotation!

napkin rings (am I correct? They're too small to be cuffs  )

altered tins - soooo cute. One is holding all the chocolate, one is holding all the hair stuff.

Cute kid pic - I LOVE these flower bobby pins. I need to make some more, cause they are cute on both of us.


So sorry for the delay in posting pics. Also, I was looking for my pics of what I made your mom. I distinctly remember taking them, but can't find them on my camera or external hard drive. Too bad, cause I was proud of some of that stuff!

So I finally have a chance to upload my pictures of my package form MsMia.  I'm totally late and I apologize but we had the busy holidays followed by a week of sickness for evryone in the house, but I did get a new computer so at least I can upload the pics fast!   So here we go.

A pic of about half of the items:

MsMia sent lots of yummy handmade bath stuff, a little chalkboard, flower headbands, a tin full of chocolates and tea
A close up of the bath stuff:

Some more of the goodies:

A jar of buttons, a jar of paper butterflies, a little glass owl figure, two button pins, a magnetic note holder, and a letter G
next is a little light up bird holiday decoration:

and then a little birdie decorative thing that hangs on a stand:


There were also some items for my kiddos, little tie dyed tote bags with some goodies in them but I had to open that package back when it arrived since some of the bath products didn't make it in one piece and they immediately too off with them!  There was also a chocolate calendar that came separate and a puzzle piece necklace which I forgot to take a picture of.  Thanks MsMia, you were a lovely partner.  I hope you had a great Christmas.

Ariethine: The shadow box is actually just an empty ribbon spool that I crafted to my hearts content
