Idea for this thread

I just received an awesome set of 8 turks head knot coasters from a swap with cabin fever. I LOVE these!!!! Thanks for the being a great swapper.

[Cabin Fever]

Here is the magazine holder the Funthreads made for me in exchange for the coasters:




It's great, just what I was wanting, and it's already hanging on the bathroom door! She also sent a cute little zipper coin type purse.

Thanks Funthreads!

I hijacked your threads for May's gallery!

[Cabin Fever]

That works for me, I didn't see a May when I posted, plus I was late putting my picture up since I didn't realize there was a gallery, and was thinking wouldn't that be a great idea! hahaha, takes me a while sometimes!

Here are the awesome things I got from a recent personal swap with nofury. She was my first personal swap partner and was so awesome, I love everything she made!


Paris themed stickers; a fun printed project bag and yarn and crochet needles to get me started on crocheting; an antique book (from 1894!) about Marie Antoinette, my favourite historical figure; a yellow Parisienne coffee/tea cozy (I needed one of these!); a really gorgeous floral clutch with a vintage button, and a matching Kleenex holder.

I love everything and I can't wait for nofury to get the things I sent to her!

[nofury]

YAY!!! I didn't know Marie Antoinette is your favorite historical figure! What luck! Again, glad you liked everything!

[nofury]

And today I received from hannahkarina!



My favorite is the painting/jewelry holder. I just can't get over it!!! She also sent some beautiful earrings and a great card holder. Also a jewelry planning tray (post office was a little rough on this one), extra beads, ribbon, a great-smelling candle and candy! Such a wonderful swap! Anyone would be lucky to get her as a partner!

[hannahkarina]

Yay I'm so happy you liked everything haha. Looking at our swap it's almost as if we did the Favourite Colour swap!

She did! Isn't it fantastic! Picture doesn't truly do it justice. It's easily one of the BEST things I've received in a swap!
