Wow, I can't believe how many different crafty skills are on show in this gallery! And everyone's put so much thought into making something really special for each other. Can't pick a favourite - all awesome.

WOW!  More really great swap packages!  
The Indian style bag is beautiful and the garland is super festive!

Love the spell book and the eye ring!!  So cool that the book includes family recipes, etc.

The hoodie and the tank top look cute!

Yay! i received from Pshyco Sue today.

Came back from walking my dog earlier to find the package waiting at my door step. I  squee'd in delight with each new item i removed from the box she seriously spoiled me rotten!

LOL  Daisy looks totally cute in that picture!!! I am very happy that I spoiled you! I love spoiling cool people! And we had plenty of time for this swap to do it!!

So glad you liked it Nooo, I had so much fun crafting for you, and with a super talented artsy partner like yourself I had to bring out the big guns (crafty speak for Defcon 4 on the sewing machine!!)

Loving all the latest parcels too, cool witchy items and the gorgeous hoody, do we have the best crafty people in this swap or what?!

Wonderful packages, so many fun things have been flying around in the post!  Sorry I went MIA, family visit is over now, so I can haunt the interwebs again!

...I am so touched by the beautiful, wonderful things Mieljolie and her family made me.  I am so thankful for everything I received!  It's going to be Halloween at my house year round because nothing is going to be put away.  Thank you so very much!!!

I'm so glad you liked everything.  We enjoyed every minute creating for you.  You sent us such wonderful things, too.  My fav part about swapping (besides receiving all the great goodies) is getting to try out new crafts and new techniques.  It's even better knowing the successful piece went to a good home.  

Mom thanks you for all the kind words on her pieces.  Since this swap, she has caught a serious case of crafting bug.  Wonder how long before she shakes it?  She's a nonstop crafting madwoman over here!    
  

...Have no idea how she textured the cover and choose to believe it was done with magic.

Yes, the spell book cover is absolutely made with magic!  It's brown paper sack, paint and the REAL magical ingredient is something called Fabri-tac.  Better than hot glue and without the burnt fingers.  (Guess I should have included that recipe in the book, too.)  

[MissingWillow]

The spell book is made from a paper sack and the witch boot is made from cereal boxes, newspaper and TP tubes...  Is this not the absolute epitome of recycling??   Mieljolie, your Mom should join Craftster!
