Great package, LiritKiraly! I have never heard of instant custard, but it sounds yummy And what exactly is Monster Munch?
 I especially like the little sewing kit!

Thanks The custard is sooo much easier that all that eggs, cream and vanilla faffing! LOL! The monster munch is just maize snacks that are supposed to look like feet, I went conservative with these and sent the beef flavour the other flavours (pickled onion especially) are an aquired taste imo...
I'm quite proud of the sewing wallet, its all sewn by hand I was dubious about using my machine with it. I'm pretty much a beginner when it comes to sewing (especially machine sewing). There's one thing on it I'd change, but overall I'm pleased.. I was inspired buy fabricfriends obvious love for sewing, the style of some of her pinterest boards and that crinkle ribbon (which came from a chocolate bunny!)

Great package! I got some flying saucers in the last snack swwap. To me they taste just like packing peanuts!

[loudxmouse]

flying saucers and custard! yummy!

I'm a birds custard girl to the core, so had to send the yumminess! (Though I was told that it's something else we're not supposed to ship to the US. No idea why at all though)

I'm so glad you like it all, this is my second ever swap and I dunno about other people but I get quite nervous after I've sent, and start thinking how I could have done things different or better LOL!

I've no idea if I told you fabricfriend what the hard candies are :s So just incase I didnt, the green ones are Chocolate Limes, the Orange are Cough Candy (anyone know why they are called that?) and the last ones are (my faves) Rhubard and Custards

I can buy bird's at my local World Market, so I can imagine it's contraband

Pickled Onion flavour? Ehm.... that sounds really adventurous...

I think it's great you got so inspired by your partners interests with such pretty results.. I think it's the best if one gets to connect to someone that way

[fabricfriend]

sending my package today!!

[fabricfriend]

so i went to mail my package today and must say i got sticker shock! i guess i have not mailed over seas in a while but when did the postage go up??? it is cheaper for me to split my package and mail it in two smaller boxes, which i will be doing. so i am re-packing tonight and will mail tomorrow. anyone else with sticker shock?

Based on weight, I figured out the two packages deal before I headed out... and on top of that, my post lady looked at my customs sticker and said 'Candy?!'  MYOB!

Just found this thread, hadn't expected people to have received yet, people have been quick. I'd hoped to get my crafting finished yesterday but we had a power outage for around 12 hours.

But you should have gone with the pickled onion monster munch. Feeding salt and vinegar/pickled onion crisps to unsuspecting americans is one of life's little pleasures
