Po arrived today from the UK! Izzybee spoiled me quite lavishly.

Here is a picture of everything right out of the box.

Here is what was inside the fabric.


I love everything! Thank you thank you Izzybee! I especially love the beaded panda! Its so delicate I am not sure what I am going to do with it yet.

And Ihaka made it back to the Netherlands as well!
He arrived in a huge box full of nice souvenirs, cards and sweets from Florida!  

He was in his sleeping back that Sam made in the previous swap and he brought a Christmas stocking with his name on it.


A beautiful and huge photo album with pictures that are marked so I can find the locations on the map (brilliant idea!).


Ihaka having a look at some of the pages  


Cute souvenirs from the sunken gardens and a pair of Valentine socks


A beautifully made altered tin shrine that phoenixfiredesigns made for me and souvenirs from Disney world. My son has worn the button on his cloths all day  


A nice halloween gift (that I'll safe for my son for a nice moment) and souvenirs from the Dali museum; lovely!


A beautiful picture that she took herself (PFD, you should consider working for a postcard company!), Disney stickers and a veggie bracelet, how clever!  



Very pretty shells (wow, they're very different from what we find on our beaches!) and Christmas decorations that of course will get a nice place in or around our tree coming season.

Thank you phoenixfiredesigns for spoiling me and for being a fantastic swap partner and friend!

Yay!! So glad he made it back safe and sound and that all his treasures made it safely back to you too! All his pictures and videos are on the flash drive so you can see all of them. I couldn't print all 800-odd ones so this way you can still enjoy them.

I had SO MUCH FUN this round and it was great not only having you as my partner but making a friend too!! I look forward to Giles coming home and seeing his adventures too.

[Smeddley]

Coccinelle is back home Now I don't know why Craftster is angry with me but she's not taking my pictures so I posted them to Alby's facebook page: Goodies this way--> http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.344995988942860.72964.289832814459178&type=1
Thank you Waterbaby for taking good care of her That scarf is so warm, and since it's snowing here (again ) I'll make good use of it
Coccinelle did forget her scrapbook but Waterbaby sent it after her, so I'll post pictures of that as soon as I get it (if craftster and I have made up by then).
This was an awesome swap, and waterbaby you're an amazing swappartner

Anuenue made it back home after a long journey of being invisible to the postal service!

I'm going to start off by apologizing to everybody for the quality of the pictures... we've been super busy with family in town and we're leaving the day they leave to go to the mainland for a family funeral, so there will be no other time (foreseeable) in the near future.  Right now, it's dark and everyone else is asleep, but we're headed off before sunrise, so I'm not going to have a chance to use better light.... Also, apologies for the backdrop, everything is in disarray because husby and dad are also trying to build a shelf, and the only open space right now is in front of where the shelf will be.  At least that pile of wood is good for something!

Here's Anuenue with all her stuff!


Wow, she brought a lot of fun goodies back!  So many playbills and brouchures, an awesome calendar from NASA, Japanese candy, Presidential playing cards, bandages from the National Gallery of Art, a bag from Baltimore, a magnet from California....

She brought some fall (a pumpkin and some wonderful fabric leaves!), because we don't have autumn here in Hawai`i.
,

I absolutely love these lanticulars that Ptarmic Wumpus sent!
There are 2 from a project she's working on at NASA, and one from the National Gallery of Art!  Sadly, these are more exciting in real life than in photographs.....


Also, she brought this delightful alpaca ornament from the Alpaca Festival!  Squee!


And then, her lovely scrapbook with pictures from all across the mainland!  (she not only visited Maryland and D. C., she visited California, New Mexico, and Atlanta (even if by accident) too!  (Am I missing any places?)







Wow, thanks, Ptarmic Wumpus!!  It looks like Anuenue really enjoyed her trip!

I don't understand what's happening but I'm having a seriously hard time with these picture! I've never had this problem buts its like I upload them and then they just Disappear I have to do it all over again. Gr so annoying.

Ok, I want to apologize in advance for the crappy cell phone pictures. I can't seem to find my camera since my move.

Bertrum made it home last week, and he brought home some awesome stuff.

New sweater, which is super adorable.


Cincinnati Bearcats stuff. This is going to be my new work mug.


Shirt from the aquarium, cup from the zoo, a gorgeous stone pendant, and chocolates (so not good for my diet).


And this is officially one of the coolest things that I own. A painting by red pandas! They are one of my favorite animals.


Last, but definitely not least, the absolutely amazing scrapbook. I still can't believe that this is Lindsey's first time making one of these because it's awesome. The pictures really don't do it any justice.






Thank you so much for being a great partner lindseymetz87. Sidney is welcome back any time. Maybe next time I can actually take him to a hockey game.
