March 2011 Birthday Swap Discussion & Gallery

[Mrs. Awesome_Pants]

Pictures at last! 

First, the awesome tote bag from alwaysinmyroom:





And the rest of the package -- FOUR beautiful bookmarks, a little notebook, and old maps to use in my scrapbooking.



Aren't the bookmarks great?  I just finished the bookmark swap a while ago and now I have a whole collection of awesome bookmarks.

P.kok sent me some great stamps and a tea wallet, with lots of foreign (to me) teas I can't wait to try.  Not pictured: the chocolate she sent because I already ate it. 







The bird is my favorite, but I do love this little owl.  He actually reminds me of Gizmo from Gremlins.



Thanks so much guys!  I have been truly spoiled this month.  <3

Absolutely love the bag and the bookmarks!! The stamps are adorable as well!

I love those totes! Especially the first one, there's just something about a bird in glasses xD. The stamps are so pretty too!

[Annchen]

That tote is awesome!

I love handmade stamps!!  The little owl does remind me of gizmo, too!  It must be the slightly wonky little "ears"...and how cool to be able to try teas from different places!  The tea wallet is a lovely color and a nice way to be able to have tea available!

It was so much fun crafting for you, writer_crafter...bt w, it is only ONE tote, just two different sides since she is a writer and she loves to read!

p.kok, you need an ETSY shop to sell those babies!

I am loving watching the gallery fill up!
Where oh where has the month gone???
Just a reminder that it's the final call for claims,
as we close up shop tomorrow 
It's been a blast, and I hope all of you have had a nice
bday month!
Hope to see you next year, same time/same place!

[p.kok]

Oh, our b-day month is almost over:(. Hope yours was as good as mine! I'm kinda happy I still didn't get the last package, it will make April better:)

and yes, the owl reminded me of Gizmo too:) I'm happy the stamps turned out this good, i haven't tried them out because I didn't have any ink:)
and that tote is amazing... so many lovely details!

kayrun, you have made this a fun swap--I think March birthday babies really rocked this year!  SO many nice things!  I am finishing up one last package to mail out!  Hope the other two receive soon!

[Robinpich]

P.kok...your package should be arriving any day now.  Post office said about a week and I remailed it last week on the 24th, I think.  and yep, it'll make April like a birthday month still, lol!!!

I  have one more claim I made yesterday and it's funny, tapestry and I both claimed each other and didn't even know we were thinking about it.  She and I will get presents in April also!! yay!!!!

This has been lots of fun.......I plan on being here next year also!
