First off, it is okay to be jealous. 
Amber565 sent me the most amazing package.  She went above and beyond. I can't believe the quality. The expensive bags in the store aren't done this well. I really wanted a bag for my crochet with lots of pockets. It has 4 pockets and she sent 2 zipper pouches! The small details really add to it. Between the pockets are a place put a pencil or a hook. What I great Idea, I always have to spend so much time routing around for my pencil. She even has feet on the bottom. The fabric could not be more my style. I absolutely love it and the matching zipper pouches. The pouches are exactly what I had in mind. She even made the zippers different colors, so I wouldn't have to go through both when looking for something. I would never have thought of that.

If she stopped there, it would have still been a super amazing package, well beyond the swap requirements. But she didn't stop there. She saw my post in the wish swap and sent items from my list. She sent a whole bunch of cotton yarn, a circle craft punch and buttons. The buttons are great. She sent tons, in a wide variety. I keep having to go to town (which is a long drive), to buy one or two buttons for a protect. And it always feels ridiculous that I have to pay a buck for a couple tiny buttons, which I usually don't like anyways (it is a small town, the selection is limited).
I love the yarn, I never have enough. I have been in a 'scrubbie' faze, so the cotton yarn is perfect. It is going to make great scrubbies and washcloths. The circle punch is great. I found out that cutting a circle by hand is a lot more difficult than I thought. None of them came out. The punch will make things much easier.







I can't say thank you enough Amber. Thank you soooo much. I could not be happier. Even my boyfriend said it was a great package and he doesn't quite understand the whole swapping thing.

Even my boyfriend said it was a great package and he doesn't quite understand the whole swapping thing.

My boyfriend didn't understand the whole swapping thing very well either, then discovered that some swaps I get lollies and such so now he understands that a swap coming in the mail could mean good things for him if he oohs and aahs over the swap parcels I make in return.
