USPS finally saw fit to get me my package from @geekgirl today. Photos to come – I just took a quick work break to check the mail.

@gozer, to put a bow on it, I’ve received from all my people.

Updated to show the goods (I haven’t assembled the cube yet):

All amazing, but I’m obsessed with that strip to the left of the card. Thanks again, Carlee!

I received from @EclecticDreamer today!

Look at the pretty watercolours underneath the vellum:

Inside was a watercolour bookmark, sweet quilted heart, and inspirational card (mine reminded me to delight in the little things).

Thank you, Shawna!

I wasn’t in this swap, but @Tapestry sent me a lovely card and some paper flowers anyway! It was so fun to show them to my dear friend when we went to lunch last Friday! Thanks, Jenn!

I received from @wittychild the most lovely little envelope of happiness!

Here is her stunning card! (I know lots of people do not care for glitter but I LOVE it, especially for holiday decor.)

She wrote the sweetest note inside and I got…


a friendship bracelet!!

This made my heart so happy. So many found memories of making them when I was young.

Thank you for the card and bracelet @wittychild ! They are much loved!

Yay! I’m glad it finally made it.

All these bracelets are making me want to bust out my floss and make a bracket. Such a cute idea to include them with the galentines!

Dooooo it! It’s the hit of nostalgia you didn’t know you needed.

@jellybean how did you make the black scraperboard cards? I’ve tried a recipe with Indian ink and chalk and it’s not working, but the one you sent me in this swapped scratched off beautifully

Sorry for being absent. We had a family tragedy. I will update the swap early this week. I appreciate the patience.

I replied to your pm, but for anyone else who wants to know where I got them, they’re these ones. I found them on clearance at a store years ago & have been too chicken to try them, so I’ve been adding them to swap packages as extras. :slight_smile:

(I think the tutorials I’ve seen usually use oil pastels or crayons on paper for the color part & then paint or paint + dish soap (not sure why) for the part you scratch off, but I’ve never actually tried it.)

This swap still delivers! I received my card from @Tapestry today.


Here’s the pretty card


And a lovely boquet of paper flowers. I like the yellow Echinacea. I’ll have to figure out a kitten proof way to display them.
