@rlynn did you use a form to make the angel wings? I have a tons of lining scraps from making masks that would be perfect for a project like that. I have a friend who has asked for angel wings.
I love that bowl!!! It is a perfect size for making rice bowl mealsâŠthe scene is lovely!
The box is amazing!!! A treasure box for special things!
yepâactually, rlynn! sorryâŠI had you on my brain because of the masksâŠ

My package from @PrincessP arrived today (after the post office toyed with our emotions for a week or so!! Whew!)! It was my first ever mail from Australia, so that was fun! Look at this cute little guy on the stamps.
First, everything was packaged in this sweet little pouch. Look at its tiny Paris print! And the cute little window! I think itâs fun how we both made each other something in aqua and red (the inside of the pouch is red).
Then, she gave me a sampling of some fun tea flavors because we both enjoy a good cup of tea! Iâm looking forward to trying these out! You may also notice a teeny koala keychain there, sporting his little Australia vest. I didnât tell her this, but I collect keychains, so this was a fun extra to receive!
Then, of the next two things, I donât know which touched me more. I just love them both so much. She made me this cool badge using the motto from my (currently dormant) blog along with two little crochet hooks. Even just the shape and color is a play off of my shield logo. Dh was with me when I opened and he wasnât showing the appropriate amount of excitement, in my opinion. lol
Next are these adorable Frog and Toad tags. I actually teared up. I adore Frog and Toad (and PrincessP likes them, too!). In fact, Frog and Toad is the reason that my username is grenouille (âfrogâ in French): when my brother and I were little, we would read the books together, and I was Frog and he was Toad. In high school, we both took French and so we used the French words, grenouille and crapaud (who amongst us wouldnât get a kick out of calling our brother something that looks like âcrap wadâ?
My kids call him Tonton Crapaud [Uncle Toad]. 
). Anyways, I keep looking at them and their little frog and toady faces make me so happy and the little captions are just so sweet. Here they are all together and then a close up on one of my favorites (who am I kidding? Theyâre all my favorite!).
Last but not least (oh yes, thereâs more!) is this tote bag with the fun Sherlock Holmes patch â heâs another one of our common denominators.
I canât tell you how much I enjoyed this swap. What a perfect swap to do to get back into the swapping game! @Bunny1kenobi did a fantastic job matching partners and @PrincessP was just a joy to get to know and swap with. THANK YOU! I love everything.

I am so thrilled that you love your swap package @grenouille78 thank you for your heart felt post xx Sorry for the inevitable postal delay, but Iâm glad it was worth the wait.
The two patches were the first Iâve ever made on my new (old) embroidery machine, I had fun designing them! The colour and shape of your âCraft Fearlesslyâ patch were a complete fluke, but I LOVE that! I have made it an iron on patch for you (if you wanted to put it somewhere permanently).
I had so much fun making the Frog and Toad tags, it was my first step back into papercrafts after a loooong hiatus, and now I canât wait to make more things!
Thank you for being a wonderful first LC swap partner xx

I received!!
The wall baskets reminded Raury of the color of the oceans we both live near. I also happen to love the sea and the color blue. So winning!
Pride magnet and trans
Buttons (hmmmâŠthe GSA one is missing from this photo I see) are because we are both LGBTQ+ allies! 
And the brooches because we both love them; the crochet items can be used for brooches. I also have some pinned so yay!!
Finally we both love reading!
Thanks so much @Raury!
