Ok I got my swap package from FeliciaSlayDCRG! She did such an awesome job! I will upload some closeups tomorrow I am beat tonight I had to wait for my husband to get home around 11 had a very late dinner then got the kid cleaned up and in bed sooo tired now so if I forget anything I will catch myself tomorrow after a hopefully restful night. I just couldnt go to sleep until I uploaded some pics and show off my awesome package as promised!

Here's a big picture of the things she made 2 cute hoops with my initial For Dee and my daughter Eliana's initial in buttons (she was tickled the second she saw it she said E is for ELIANA THATS MINE!!! Then we had to count all the buttons on both lol both 19 ) She made me 4 cute pink and pink zebra fabric baskets which I have already started putting to use after I took the photos! ^__^ 2 skirts. The kid was freaking out at how cute they were esp the fact that the purple zebra skirt had a matching headband oh my goodness! She had to actually try both skirts on and the 4 skeleton hand hair clips and the headband on all at once! Its all super cute! She also made a matching pouch my daughter decided can be her pencil bag and has swiped it with her other pretty purple zebra gear! Plus my partner also made me a cute as pie little cherry potholder! Love it and I'm going to save it for when we move into our new place!
My favorite is the Owl messenger bag! ITS SOOOO CUTE! I love it! I love the fabrics and everything brown and pink is such a good combo!


And check out the awesome extras! A cute vintage style gold tone owl charm, plush owl purse (fighting the kid tooth and nail for it haha) some awesome vintage (pretty sure anyway) embroidered trims and the Disney Fairies book I had to read a chapter of for my daughter before she would sleep called The Trouble With Tink


I love everything thank you so much!! I am so happy you were my partner! ^_^

Great package to Averia!
I've really gotta look into metal stamping. It's sooo cool!
And Lego Soap? My kids (and especially me) would be swooning over Lego Soap! I need to get my hands on one of those molds!!!

FeliciaSlay, that is an amazing package!
The brown/pink owl messenger bag is fantastic! There seems to be an interesting lining for it. Is it by chance the really cute pink floral?

I can only hope my package to Luckdragon will match up.

Thank you!  Yes, its the floral I used for the owl.    I wanted to bring the inside to the outside.

Here is a pic I took of it, before sending.

Metal stamping is fun and addictive. 
The lego soaps are fun.  I have an even bigger one that is a four dot that is 3x3.  I think it's a cake mold.

My awesome partner for my first IYP swap is the talented MissingWillow!  She spoiled me royally and I’m in total awe of her crafting skills!  She sews, she plays with clay, she makes yummy smelling soap and she lives on a fab farm!!!  How cool is that?

First up, the wonderful patchwork purse.  I love this! The colours she selected are perfect for me…and the size is just right



And looky!  A coordinating tea wallet!  I love my tea and I can’t believe I’ve never owned a tea wallet   She also included a selection of her favourite teas for me to try.  Yum!



She knows I’m a knitter, so she made me a project bag…in patchwork style!  This project bag is big enough to house a shrug!  Nice!



One of the things I’ve been looking for, is a small catchall for my rings.  During my work day, I wash my hands quite a bit and I’m always leaving my rings on my desk or by the sink   She made me a fabulous ceramic bowl!  I adore my new catchall!!



And from her farm, she sent along some squishy texel roving (from Beatrice the sheep) and a bar of sweet smelling lemon verbena goat milk soap!  So precious!



She also included some delectable edibles…choccies and mango peach green tea.



Like I said, she’s one swell swap partner!  Merci beaucoup MissingWillow!
