Wait.....we can send packages individually to people that are green in our group even those one or two may not be green? *face palm* Wish I had known that last round. I guess it should have been obvious though right?  I thought you could only send to everybody when they ALL were green.

That's the beauty of this swap - being able to send as people go green - spreads out the expense.

OH YEAH baby! I'm nearly done with my stuff! However, I'm still going to have to send like...july 5th though  My money tree isn't growing as fast as it should 

[sweetyetevil]

I received from gatorwrangler, and I love these lil canvases!!!


The roller coaster was my fav of the bunch, that is going in my craft room. The monkey might be a gift but I am not sure cause I love it too lol
Thanks Colleen!

[deathbeforedishes]

I received this in the mail yesterday and it has been bogarted by my little girls already!



I am so excited that I got the chipmunk, they love the little guy!  

Next I received my bookmark from Avesthel!



I love the blue.

I also received my little owl coin purse. I love owls!



If that wasn't enough awesome, I also received my mug rug!



It's beautiful and will be a welcome addition to my desk at work.

One more to receive. YAY!

[Thimbles71]

I received my dichoric pendant today from Sweetyetevil.  It's so pretty!

[gala_apples]

I got my timeless cuff from Nilmerg. I'm really happy I got this one, because one of my favourite bands as a song with the chorus "it's nine in the afternoon, your eyes are as wide as the moon, and you could, 'cause you can, so you do, we're feeling so good, just the way that we do, 'cause it's nine in the afternoon". So wearing this 9.30 timepiece is like subtle PatD merch 

[Avesthel]

I have received 2 necklaces so far, one from sweetyetevil and one from gala_apples.      



The dichroic pendant from sweetyetevil which is so pretty!   Love the colors and the 'chain' is a really lovely touch as well.     Thanks!



And gala_apple's blue rain necklace which is a nice light sky blue.      thanks!

[katara]

I received a Blue Rain Pendant from gala_apples and a Timeless Fabric Wrist Cuff from nilmerg

[sweetyetevil]

I received a green mug rug from homerof2 yesterday and a bookmark from avesthel and a wrist cuff from nilmerg today!

I recieved the green mug rug. I told her I liked them all and any color would be great. Green is my fav color so it worked out perfectly!

The bookmark is also in my fav color. It is going into the book I am currently reading rright now!!

I love the blue color! This will go good with a lot of things I wear.

Thanks so much ladies! I have received everything and am already plotting something for the next round!!

[gala_apples]

Got my first pick from sweetyetevil! Now I have an Ironman necklace

[Avesthel]

I received two more items... a mug rug from Homerof2 and an owl coin purse from Thimbles71!


Love the fabrics, this will be very useful!   


So CUTE!   Love the little owl and I will get a lot of use out of this! 

Thanks to both of you!   

[Thimbles71]

I received my stitch markers from Katara today!  I will put these to good use!  They're so fun. 

[IsikkahJai]

Here's my Loot! My oldest daughter like the Blue Rain Necklace so much I'm letting her have it. She LOVES blue! (TY again Gala!)

[Thimbles71]

I got another package today!  The necklace and earring set from Deathbeforedishes.  They're so lovely!!

[Avesthel]

I received my stitchmarkers from Katara!  These are lovely, looking forward to using them soon!      Thank you!

[gala_apples]

Deathbeforedishes' necklace and earrings set:



I love all the lime green!

[deathbeforedishes]

I received my last item!

My stitch markers from katara!
They are feet and orange beads.



My action shot; a little sweetie wanting them for her own.  

Thank you so much everyone.

Now I hope my last two necklaces arrive safely overseas and overborder.  

[Thimbles71]

I received my necklace from Gala_apples!  It's so pretty. 

[Thimbles71]

Over 40 items received and barely 20 posted?  That's disappointing.  :-/

I received my lovely fabric cuff from Nilmerg yesterday.  She did such a lovely job with it!



We also did an individual swap because she wanted a coin purse for each of her children, so she sent me these awesome coasters, too. 

[Homerof2]

I was going to wait until I had received all 5 items to post but Thimbles guilted me into posting now    I have received 3 of 5 items:

Canvas Art from GatorWrangler (we did a personal swap for a 2nd one)

                     

Stitch markers from Katara

                     

Glass pendant and earrings from deathbeforedishes

                     

[Thimbles71]

I didn't realize everyone was going to wait until the end to post!  I guess that explains why only half the items have been pictured.  DUH! 

I guess I shouldn't have clogged up the gallery with five different posts!  I just get excited about receiving, I suppose. 

[Avesthel]

It's ok!  You can do either way; whichever you prefer.      I like to post as I get them because I prefer to see things as they come in and having the gallery more active instead of waiting until the end to post all 5.  But some people prefer the other way.  It's all good.  

[IsikkahJai]

I'm showing my loot on my second page post ^^

I post each time too. I jsut got luck this round as I received 3 items all at once so not as many posts. I like seeing things as they come in too!

[katara]

I had a BLUE and GREEN day today!  

Homerof2 Thanks for the lovely mug rug - I can't wait to use it! You've also inspired me to try and make some of my own now - I think they'll make wonderful gifts too!  



IsikkahJai Thank you for my ocean themed poppet! I love her hair - the green yarn kind of reminds me of seaweed, so it's very fitting! I like her eyes too   She really seems like an inhabitant of the sea  



Deathbeforedishes The pendant necklace and earring set is beautiful and I can't wait to wear it!   Thank you so much!

[IsikkahJai]

YAY!! I was beginning to worry that my poppets had gotten stuck in customs! Katara's the first to receive even though hers was last to be sent out. 
  Those pendants are BEAUTIFUL. And I love the mug rug colors. Very soothing. ^^

[deathbeforedishes]

Yay! All the necklaces arrived in one piece!  I was so nervous. 

I have never sent a package out of my own country before, poor postal worker probably thought I was just trying to make her job harder.  But I am so happy that none of them broke. 

[gala_apples]

Ohh, I love her seashell eyes!

[IsikkahJai]

Has no one other than Katara received?! That's---worrying......

[GatorWrangler]

Has no one other than Katara received?! That's---worrying......

I did! And I love it!  I hope to post my picture tonight or tomorrow.

Hee hee..you were my only US sweat shoppe partner! I certainly HOPED you had gotten yours! But no matter. I can re-send any of the poppets of need be. 

[Homerof2]

Has no one other than Katara received?! That's---worrying......

I'm still waiting but it's only been 11 days so don't worry yet........US to Canada can take 2+ weeks sometimes.

It's just frustrating because I got spoiled by Canada post in past swaps  They'd been pretty zippy with my packages before now. Poor Gala is waiting for TWO of my packages  *le sigh* I should get "Patience" tattooed on my arm or something so I can see it everyday and remind myself 

[Homerof2]

I received 2 cute snack bags from Thimbles71 yesterday

                       

I know I'll be putting these to good use.

[Thimbles71]

I can't believe how slow the international mail has been of late.  It's absolutely crazy!

[GatorWrangler]

I received all my items. I had planned to do individual photos and descriptions but haven't been able to, so I just wanted to get a photo up here of everything.

[IsikkahJai]

Nice haul GatorWrangler! And I sincerely hope that your health gets better!  We love having you here crafting with us!

[Homerof2]

GatorWrangler, what does your poppet represent?  It's hard to tell with him laying down but I'd love to know.

[GatorWrangler]

GatorWrangler, what does your poppet represent?  It's hard to tell with him laying down but I'd love to know.

It's Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice and she is sitting up in the above photo.

[gala_apples]

I got my poppet. It's a pirate, with supershaggy hair.

[IsikkahJai]

Oh gawd. The pants are shameful  *hangs head in shame* But YAY! FINALLY!! I hope your baby nephew likes him. I made him red and blue to be more attractive for baby eyes ^^

[Homerof2]

I received my poppet from IsikkahJai today.  I know nothing about poppets so when she asked for our 'wants' I basically asked for bright colors and let her decide the rest.  The front of my envelope said 'colorful cat' so I know it's a cat and it's definitely colorful, just what I like!!


The front (can you see the fish eyes?)

                 

The back (look at all those colors!)

                 

I'm on a 'the brighter, the better' kick right now so this is just fantastic for me!

[IsikkahJai]

I LOVED MAKING THIS ONE! I liked your motto and ran with it: "The brighter the better." That's me too.  Glad she's a nice addition to your life-^^-

[katara]

I've made a new set of stitch-markers and it will be sent out to gala_apples within this week.

IsikkahJai - The colourful cat poppet is really fun!!
