Holiday Present Swap Gallery

I received from @geekgirl and @JoyfulClover and boy did they deliver amazing packages! Please don’t mind my paint splattered desk in these photos! It’s where the creative magic takes place and creativity is often messy. :slight_smile:


From Geekgirl

The large item she made for me is this super amazing and soft lap blanket. The chair is oversized, so it’s a bit misleading. The blanket is very generously sized. I’ve been using it while I’ve been working at home since I got it. It’s made of the softest yarn and will be very well loved!

I received not one, but two amazing zipper pouches. The fabrics she chose are so me and so adorable. I was extremely delighted when I opened the package. They’ve already been put to use!

Assemblage art is Geekgirl’s specialty and she made an amazing one for me! This one contains lots of artsy and craftsy stuff. It’s like a little Where’s Waldo artwork. :slight_smile: Can you spot the mini embroidery hoop?

I received a bunch of stencils she made as an extra. Look at these textures! I can’t wait to do some gelli printing again or use them in some art journaling.

Inside of the pouches were all of these nifty washi tapes. I LOVE washi tape. Now I need a bigger container to keep my stash in!

She also generously sent me this little advent calendar. She used an old Stickii sticker advent calendar and each day has its own little envelope in the book. Each day has a different papercraft item in it. I’m doing my best not to jump ahead and open them all at once since I have no patience, but so far, I’ve been really good! I will repost a photo of everything inside once I have opened them all.

She sent me this amazing lightning bug in a specimen jar. Just looking at this makes me so happy! He’s soooo cute. Just look at his bright little shiny hiney! He even has amazing little stripes. Swoon.


and his name plate:

This bag is everything! I am always looking for more tote bags to haul stuff around with me to and from work (whenever we may be able to go back.) I usually have a few that I carry around with me every day. One usually has work stuff in it and one has crafty stuff in it to work on during my lunch hour. I adore black and white with pops of color and she sure did deliver on this one. I also love love love green and that little pop of magenta pink is sooo gorgeous. She checked all of the boxes with this tote!

I also asked for some fingerless mitts and she found the most amazing pattern. They’re nice and long and I’ve been wearing them constantly since I got them. My little typing hands/fingers get cold and these mustardy mitts are sure to help. And just look at that pattern! The design isn’t symmetrical and that makes me even happier.

I absolutely LOVE rainbows! I received this woven rainbow art piece. She said that it was a stretch for her to make it since she’s not into bright rainbowey colors, but I’m glad she made it for me anyway. How absolutely gorgeous is this piece? Photo taken on my little rainbow craftster art wall!

And last, but not least, I received this extra. She found me some old issues of Craft Paper Scissors. I’m taking my time to go through them to make them last and there’s so much to look at in each one.


Thank you so much @geekgirl and @JoyfulClover. You’ve both made my heart oh so happy!
