Has everybody received there packages yet?

Not quite yet! We're waiting for that1girl's angel package to be sent, which should be happening within the next week.  Unfortunately, it looks like we've had another flaker but I'm in the process of finding ANOTHER angel.  Hopefully we'll have this completely wrapped up in the next two weeks or so!

Ooooo that flowery fabric is LOVELY - I think Royal Blue might have to be my new favourite colour, well along with all my other favourite colours!!!  Great bag - and worth waiting for.

It's a bit rubbish being flaked on isn't it? - I've got a lovely swap angel crafting for me at the moment, so hopefully won't be too long until I can post also and actually receive my first ever package - yippeeee!

That's such a cute bag!! I'm glad you had an awesome swap angel!

I'm sorry that you had to deal with flakers, since both of you made such awesome packages for your partners!

They do say, that all things come to those who wait (or something along those lines) and I'm delighted to say that my angel package arrived today, and oh it was absolutely marvellous!!!!!  Jadore-le-Rose was also my partner for the September Monthly Odd holidays swap, so I got a double bundle of goodies, but I'm posting below all the things she sent me as my swap angel.  Have to say I feel very spoiled, and receiving this package this morning was absolutely the BEST thing that happened to me today, I'm still on a high from it now!!!

Firstly - the most gorgeous bag, it's just everything right about me, perfect colours, perfect fabric, wonderful, soft, snuggly lining and patchwork as well!!!



Have everything transferred into it already and have started using it!!  Then I also received this fabulous tea cup pin cushion!!  I think this is the cutest ever, and gorgeous colours and fabric.  (I know you said you weren't sure about how it turned out Laura - but I think it's FAB)



The next pic I'm afraid does not in any way nearly do justice to the fabulous cushion cover I received.  I'd already bought the cushion and gave Laura the measurements and she came up with this - it's very pale pink fabric with tiny white polka dots on it - just wonderful.  That completes the little reading corner that I have in my bedroom now, can't wait to curl up on it tonight when I've got the kids to bed



and finally - Laura knows that I collect Lighthouses, and managed to find these in a charity shop!!



I also got two packages for my kids as little surprises - a lovely pair of shorts for my son and a sweet little cushion for my daughter.  These have now been opened and raved about - in fact B is wearing the shorts now - but haven't had a chance to take pics of them yet.

THANK YOU for everything, and for being a fabulous swap angel!!!!!
