OMG, that "Giant of Hawaii" bag is too fantastic. LOL. What a great score in the thrift store!! Love the shell necklace and pirate earrings too! Cool package!
(And great pic to put in your kid's senior yearbook. LOL)

oh oh!  I *love* that record album bag!  What a hoot!


And oh my, your son is hilarious. What a great sport.    And he *so* reminds me of my brothers when they were his age!

[sulkycat]

ha, the record bag made me laugh, thats brilliant! great parcel, al of it

monkey_see, could you send me details of postage please, you dont seem to be getting my messages?

[RikaHeart]

Yeah, he thinks it's funny now, but when he's eighteen, it's going to be blackmail material.
Thanks again, Linda!!

ROTFLMAO!!

I just got my package from the amazing monkey see monkey do.
And she spoiled me big time! I'll let her posts pics if she has them-if not, tonight I'll have time to put stuff on the scanner.
Anybody would be lucky to have her for a partner.
I kept unwrapping cool thing after cool thing-if I'd gotten her package first, I would have been embarassed to send out my own!
Thanks again, partner!

Okay, behold the awesomeness-
her camera is dying, and I used the scanner, so these don't do it justice, as well as being pic heavy.
The mermaid

Embroiderd pillowcase and handmade card


jewelry with shrinky dinks, sea glass and more-and she and her kids collected the sea glass from thier beach


handmade journal, with built in shrinky bookmark and charm


Inside of journal


detail of the great bag


more bag detail, and folded down a bit to show the lining fabric


The extras are cool fishy shower gel, and little terry fishies, and a sqoosh ball. I wish you could see all the detail on the shrinkys-the one on the bracelet has this quote-
My life is like a stroll upon the beach as near to the oceans edge as I can go-Henry David Thoreau(The miss spelling is my bad-my middle aged eyes can't make out all the letters )

Thanks again, Monkey_Sea_Monkey_Do! I love everything!!

[Pogo]

That is an awesome package!
I love the bracelet - what a great idea to use a quote!! Beautiful embroidery too!

I'd love see more pictures of it all!

[camelama]

Oooo I love the mermaid's hair out of that yarn!

[bookstorebabe]

I'd love see more pictures of it all!

Those are the best I can do on the scanner. If monkeysee wants to post, she can-but she told me her ancient camera is dying. But thanks! It was indeed a cool swap package.

[Monkey_see_monkey_do]

okay, here are my sad little pictures. 




I was trying to make the mermaid look "fluid" and not stiff, like my first attempt. But I found that yarn and I loved it!



Here's the bag...I tried to make the sea creatures look cute.

My husband had to point out the octopus only has 6 legs, so he's really a squid. My defense is that some of the legs are BEHIND him, mmmkay?
Anyhow, those are the best pictures my crummy camera could take. Thanks for swapping with me, Linda!
