Christmas Stocking Swap Round 8 (signup thru Sept. 21, sendout Dec. 1)

[mini_mum]

SO glad I'm not the only one sending late - I hate not being on time, and guess I over did the swaps a bit this time, but then who doesn't occasionally? Would probably have been ok if kiddos had been ok, but thats life for you.
Anywho, got everything finished now, but I'm struggling weight wise a bit too, so it'll be Thursday after I get paid before I send (gives me time to photograph and pack tomorrow with out rushing it).

I mailed out today too. One set of items I talked a neighbor into selling to me ended up not making into the box (so I returned them to her)... I ended up shipping in 2 boxes, and there wasn't enough room for anything more.
I *think* I got photos of everything but not sure. Meh.

Since this swap is done and mailed for everyone, it doesn't help much... and I'm sure everyone is smart enough not to do this, but... just in case: Make sure you're paying attention while ironing. And never, ever iron acrylic felt with the iron on "cotton" setting. The felt instantly turns back into it's base plastic form all over your iron. Thankfully my neighbor had an iron I could borrow and believed me when I swore I wouldn't melt plastic all over hers. lol.

I did this a few years ago making a Christmas present! My dad was really helpful and cleaned it up for me while I salvaged the gift.
