My claim is ready to send so I plan to go to the post office tomorrow. I finished blocking it and it just needs packaging and maybe a treat to include in the package. I'm just over one of the weight limits so I might as well throw in a little extra if it fits. I have to go through these top picks to see if I can make any of them

Let me see... Right now these are my top picks.

I would kill (well... not really... but maybe) for this pattern. It looks awesome to knit! (shark socks)

Supplies

Hooks! I lost all my useful sizes (ie. almost everything in the range 2mm-5mm)

OK, thanks to one of sweetyevil's pins, I had to start a whole new board of Michigany goodness...

My top five:

Twin duvet cover from thrift store sheets (sewn): http://pinterest.com/pin/280349145525411998/

Anatomical heart tie (stencilled): http://pinterest.com/pin/280349145524789209/

Zombie My Little Pony(painted): http://pinterest.com/pin/280349145524739703/

Zombie art. Not just this specifically, I'd love any zombie art: http://pinterest.com/pin/280349145525203562/

Any scented soap: http://pinterest.com/smac385/soap/

I guess the last two are cheating, sort of. But I'm making a zombie themed altered book, and I want ten thousand pieces of art to put in it.

OOOOhhhh, this is rough.  Now it makes me wonder if I should still send the package I have prepared for someone that just listed their 5 favorites....or redo it.  Hmmmm.  Dang it!
It also makes me think I may need to add a "stole ideas from other craftsters boards" board....lol

Here are my 5 favorite items....at least for today....since I can't promise that in a week, or even tomorrow I won't find something else that I want equally as bad.

Knitted or crocheted ear cozy....perchance with fleece inside as Saskatchewan can be brutally cold.

Altered paper journal....I really just love to write down thoughts, quotes, etc.  I think it would be neat to start one of these for each of my 3 children.

Sewn nursing scrubs!  I could always use more.  And even though I can sew, it would be nice to have some where another person gets to interpret colors and design.

Any style.  LPN clip to hold my name tag on my shirt.  Doesn't need to be retractable, as long as it is secure, and I can clip my tag to it.

Felted characters in altoid tins.  I would love these for my kids!  Any animals.  I have 2 girls and 1 boy.

Wow, it was really hard to narrow it down!

[Onyxnox]

Oh - this is intriguing...

It would be hard to narrow it down to the top 5, but let me try...

1.  wall art/hoopla, or some accessory like a tote or scarf inspired by this image:  http://pinterest.com/pin/199847302186156437/

2.  recycled cutlery garden art like this: http://pinterest.com/pin/199847302186085043/

3.  the grumpy felt leaves: http://pinterest.com/pin/199847302185832763/

4.  needle books like this one http://pinterest.com/pin/199847302186231524/, or a fabric/leather one, or mixed media - just would like a       needle book with lots of pages

5.  Hoopla - I am trying to add to my hoopla wall

[zzdia]

Ooooh... This is really hard to narrow down.

My current top 5 would be:

1. A sewing machine cover like this: http://pinterest.com/pin/260223684690591711/

2. A wire-wrapped pendant like this one: http://pinterest.com/pin/260223684688538790/

3. An altered journal like this one: http://pinterest.com/pin/260223684688488691/
or any handbound journal like in my random crafty board.

4. A wallet cuff like this one: http://pinterest.com/pin/260223684690639229/

5. And... Mario pirahna plant polymer clay earrings: http://pinterest.com/pin/260223684688553579/

I wouldn't worry... I know how hard it was for me to narrow down the top 5. It's fun to look at your top picks! I've added a lot to my own boards

And now to pack up the package for gala_apples!

Woo hoo I think I found an extra to add to one of my packages!!
