I think I just FINALLY figured out how to post photos again.  I have been trying to get these pics up for a while now!  I got to open my package from DIzzerSpinninRound.  When I open it, I saw the first brooch, so I just dumped.  And they kept falling and falling,...  She sent me not 3 or 4 or 5, but ten whole crocheted rose brooches!

My daughter wanted to model, but then she just wanted to act goofy.  And she's holding one of my hats that I pinned up but wasnt into wearing right now!

Then I decided to do an action shot, what the heck.  Yes, I own this hat and wear it too!  As you can see, these roses really will dress up any hat!  (I never go anywhere with that one on without getting picked on.)

Then she also sent me a trio of ATCs 'i become tree' which is really neat.  And another 'she loves to dance'.  They're great, and a welcome addition to my collection. 

Thank you so very much, it was a great package, Dizzer!
Oh, p.s.  Sorry about the photo flippng.  Thought I had it right, but I so don't know how to flip them the right way.  I still want to post them so everyone can see!

I got a package today from ceemonster, too!  She made me a little jewelry box with comedy/tragedy masks.... Love it!  When I was younger I was going to have them tattooed on me.  She also sent me a craft punch from my supply list, YAY!

Then inside of my box, I was so excited to see, she made me marble magnets of ALL of my favorite muppets!!!

I know they're really hard too see, I tried to get a good pic of them.  There's Kermit, Statler & Waldorf, ANIMAL!, the Swedish chef, and Miss Piggy.  What total fun!  I love the muppets, and that was such a cool total surprise! 

Thanks so much, ceemonster.  I had such a ball opening your package today!

Out of all of the shirts I've stenciled, I think your's is my favorite so far.

I recieved the most amazing package from kimchery today. It has been raining here for almost a week and the gloomy weather had started to dampen my spirits.. BUT that all changed when I opened everything up!!

The Whole Lot (minus the super cute candle holders that are already on the mantle)



First: An amazing embroidery!! A spiderweb complete with a cute red spider on some really neat black fabric with leaf print.



Second: Tons of findings (headpins, bead caps, earring findings), some super psychedelic beads, a HUGE tiki charm, my own slice of rainbow cake, a pineapple phone charm, and an adorable little gingerbread man phone charm right from my wists!





And Finally: A pair of snowman candle holders right from my wist!! They came just in time for the holiday and they already have their place on the mantle.



THANK YOU soooo much kimchery! everything is absolutely perfect!!

   I'm so glad you liked it!  And doubly happy the post office really did get it there by Christmas.  They swore it would be, but I've seen stranger things happen.  I thought maybe they'd deliver the day after, the day when most snowmen hit the boxes or bins for another year!
