As I was checking the mail today, with expectations of several Etsy orders, I was pleasantly surprised to notice that I had received from none other than our fabulous co-organizer, Susanab. She went with my Big Bang Theory obsession and crafted me a tote bag, some rock paper scissors lizard spock magnets, some geek inspired math coasters, and sent both me and my hubby our own deciding dice!

Thank you so much Susan! I can't wait to decide what I want to put in the tote! And, I love how the fabric is BBT inspired!

Great package, Susan!  The tote is so cool, I love how the bleaching made "Bazinga" appear, while giving an interesting mottled look to the background.  The magnets are so perfectly geeky!  And I'm not into math at all, but I sure do love those coasters!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh , I LOVE it all!

im glad that you like everything, johnson.mom2two. it was a lot of fun to craft for you.
here are a couple of other shots of the big bang theory craftings:

I received an awesome package from Homerof2!  Here's everything together.  Since she was sending from Canada to the US, she discovered that the cost was significantly less if she took the candy out of the box and put it in a ziplock bag! (They are Canadian Smarties--they are like M&M's, but bigger.  Yum!)

She definitely went over the 2 point requirement with these wonderful things she crafted for me.



First, after seeing that I like word games, she made me this really cool hoop with the names of all my family members arranged as a crossword. I love it and it will be great on my hoopla wall!



Two things I asked for were anything featuring a heart with wings, and a piece of cross stitch or embroidery with the edges left unfinished so I can add it to something in the future (like a journal cover or a bag) without having to do the stitching myself.  She combined these two wishes in this lovely cross stitch piece!



As if that wasn't enough, she also saw a card with hearts on my Pinterest, that I said I would love as wall art, so she hunted down the right size punch to make the hearts to go on this canvas board, and she created this wonderful piece for me--I "heart" this!!!  All the hearts are different papers.



Thanks a million, Cindy, you outdid yourself with this thoughtful, personalized package.  I really  love everything you made, and I appreciate that you fulfilled so many of my wishes.  You're an awesome partner!

Smarties (the Canadian ones) are my favorite candy of all time! Lucky!

Okay I MUST steal/borrow that cross-stitch name Scrabble idea TOTALLY GENIUS! And even though I don't watch Big Bang Theory (yet ), those rock/ paper/ scissor/ lizard magnets are hilarious!
