I love the tree stuffies and the owl sock/leg warmers, but seriously, this is a great start to this swap.

I am excited to see more pictures of tree art! I am even more tree obsessed since doing this swap so I need more cool tree ideas to pin

Here's my awesome package from Teamama......sorry about so many photos, but she sent A LOT!

artwork:



TONS of handmade fantasticness:

tree of life necklaces (one that makes me think of lilac trees and the other that has each season represented), earrings, knit dishcloths, hand painted notebook (that she stamped and put quotes throughout), bookmark.

handmade notecards:


and lots of spoilage:

chocolate and wall stickers

Thanks so much Teamama! You'd never know this was your first swap.... and you sent super early! You're an awesome swap partner

Wow, such a fantastic package!!! I love the art work, and I love the 4 seasons trees of life. So many cool things, it makes me wonder how Teamama got done so fast with all that stuff included!!

Oh...and I'm really glad you were able to get it from the post office before they went on strike. Otherwise, all of us Craftsters would have to go over there and cross the picket line to get it and I'm sure they wouldn't want to mess with us

Awesome You should never get between a craftster and her swaps!

I love the art, I especially like the art on the paint swatch

I'm SOOOOO glad you like your package Crystalized_art! I made the necklaces with long extenders, but feel free to take off some chain at a length that works for you. I tend to wear my necklaces high up on my neck (around my collar bone) but some people don't like them like that, so I always make them extendable if I don't have a measurement! The four seasons tree of life necklace was one of those random strokes of brilliance that come to me in the middle of the night (and wake up my hubby while I scribble in a notebook with a flashlight at 3am he he... it's a good thing he knew what he was getting into when he married me!)

lacey0828 - you know - I don't know how I manage to get things done sometimes since I have two little ones aged 1 and 3.... and the LOVE to touch whatever Mama's working on! Suffice it to say - I don't sleep much.

As for the Canada Post strike.... I was having nightmares about the package languishing away somewhere and getting hot and Crystalized_art's chocolates melting all over everything... so I was deliriously happy when I got the email today to say that she had got it - because they may well be on strike tomorrow! Yay for timing!

Although a twisted little part of me would like to see Canada Post employees on strike come up against a bunch of angry craftspeople.... "GIVE US OUR PACKAGES OR SUFFER THE WRATH OF CRAFT!" he he
