44 Cent Swap Rd 4 Gallery

[Mbellish]

Received from Teag!
We are pretty much posting simultaneously only I got mine last night just had to wait til today for wifi.
Very cute decorated envelope.  The hotel logo makes me smile. We just got into our own homeafter more than a little upheaval.  Also, even though it's envelope-sized, it's the first package/presenty thing I've received in the new digs.

A picture of everything together.  Some fabric yo yos, a string of oragami cranes, that flower is a chalkboard tag, a bottle cap magnet, and how cute are those miniature ears!?!?!?
A couple of extra pics because I always wonder about things like this.  My bedroom is world travel themed so I hung the cranes off of what I call the museum shelf. 

I've had these soda bottle magnets on my stove hood for a couple of years (and in different apartments) so Mickey looks right at home next to what I now know to be an Ellie badge. 


Thanks so much! I hope you like everything you got and that you didn't have to pay extra to spring your envelope from the PO.  I was worried about it being enough when everyone else was posting theirs.  But all in one pic it looks a lot better than when I was making tough decisions about what to leave in.  The red envelope is a lucky money envelope for Chinese New Year's and the Hippie Alien Valentine just made me laugh.

I received from Untouchableface!!

The whole loot...The cute striped envelope, 2 sheets of vintage style horror movie pictures, additional halloween clipart, pretty green paper, a good bit of green cotton edging and a pile of fluffy stuff (wool?)


Here's a close up of the horror movie pictures...I already have some ideas what do with them.

Thank you Untouchableface!!

Here is my loot from Aidenromantic! I have a new bookmark,  which I really needed and I love the quote on it. I was recently discussing the very notion of art with somebody and this really sums up what we were trying to get at! I love it! Aren't the heart cards cute? And some homemade envies, and a cool ATC, some adorable stamplike pictures (bike n doggie is my fave) and another great quote on a paint sample - A house is made of walls and beams, a home is built with love and dreams.
thank you very much Aidenromantic!  It was really fun to open it all.

I'm so glad you like the thing I sent. When I read that you wanted crafted or unique things as opposed to supplies i immediately thought of handmade playing cards and the serendipity atc. I went to lowes and home depot and stocked up on 100s of paint sample cards. I then looked up quotes and found the one i put around Mickey. It seemed to fit great especially on a paint sample. Then I got an envie of stuff from another site and found that paper I made the bookmark from. I love how it looks almost old and dirty. That quote was so fitting to the crafting part of the swap so i decided to use it.

Also, I used paint samples on the atc. Those are so stress relieving to make and so fun looking. I'm always worried that people won't like my crafts when I'm making them, that's the worst part about anxiety and OCD.

My hubby just called telling me that I received from teag today. I will take pics this eve!

I received from gamemom42 today
One you can never have enough book marks or small draw string pouches to put things in.
and the tarot cards are fitting for my life today.

The perfect size gift wrapping for small items I like it because it makes a small gift seem cooler.

Splat! water stickers cool I think I will have to wright some one and put them all over an envelope.

But this is what made it all worth while. I really do need needle books. My husband seems to always find my needles in my hand bag (I think it is a little funny he doesn't and has been refusing to go in there for anything)
This will keep him safer. (for now till i plant a new booby trap) Isn't it so cute

I received from panthermoon a couple of days ago and finally got a little free time to post pictures



There's a sheet of braille type which is awesome! Some fun vintage images, stamped images (I think I would drool over your stamp collection lol), and some thin tulle fabric I think, which will be fun to incorporate into some mixed media pieces  Thanks so much!!

Here is what I got from rubies-pearls:

She sent me a great package, with a little of everything.  In the middle there, you can see a pair of earrings she made by looking at my wist page.   Thanks very much!

sheepBlue I'm glad you liked your envelope.  I almost didn't put that braille sheet in there, I thought it was taking up too much room. While I do have about one of those rolling carts full of rubber stamps ... most of the stamps used for the images in the envelope belonged to a friend of mine... the ones on the envelopes were all mine.
