Squeeing right back!
@JoyfulClover the print was made by my friend, not the notebook. I’m so glad you like the prayer flag. X
Loving that print…
@Edel. Ahhh! Now that does make more sense!
I thought the card looked like a linocut! Gah! Thank you for clarifying! And thank you for my gift!
@JoyfulClover I love your new tagline -I’ll never throw away tiny scraps again. I’ll send them to you!
My package arrived from across the ocean! Immaculata sent me a wonderful package!
Hope you like the stroopwafels! They are the most Dutch thing I could think of. If they crumbled in the mail, stroopwafel crumbs are a real thing that you can buy in here.
Oooh, the flag from @Edel with the yo’s!
Man, I love stroopwafel. They don’t love me back but sometimes I just don’t care, they are DELISH!
My @jemimah package arrived today, with this lovely flag!
(also, NZ has the cutest year of the Rat stamp.)
Oh this gallery just keeps on giving! I’m loving that little kitty hoop! All the incredible partners spoiling each other!
I received bonus goodies earlier this week On Tuesday (which certainly brightened my day as I had managed to take a wicked slip and fall on the ice that morning - File this under things you don’t want to happen while trying to recover from a never ending cough. Bruised my tailbone, ribs, and sprained my wrist I’m an over-achiever!) on to the little extra good things!
From that super star @jemimah
A beautiful little hand bound And painted notebook and this super retro telephone post card which I love!
And from @Magpie
Her gorgeous ATC to mark the last/first swap as we transitioned to our new home.
Thanks ladies! (Sorry it took me so long to post them up - it has really been a week!!! Lol)
My thanks to TAOJ who sent a wee hoop with an embroidered wave (we’re both lovers of the sea) and a bar of her favorite chocolate with sea salt:
This sweet stitchery fits right in with some of the terrific gifts I received through Craftster swaps that are on display in my hallway (there are a few more on the opposite wall, too):
Have also received commemorative last Craftster swap items from jemimah…
…and magpie…
Thank you both!
What I sent (finally, late, so so sorry) shows as delivered today! I can’t wait to see what @JoyfulClover & @dharma_rebel think of their goodies! This was such a fun one to craft for - and I went outside my normal for one of them…
Your wall is wonderful!! Your new hoop fits in your theme!
I received from @Stellato_escuro and my extra from @jemimah a few days ago. I was trying to wait for better weather to take photos with better light but mother nature seems to not like that plan so I went ahead and took pics today.
From Stellato_escuro I received a little painting in a cool magnet holder. The green isn’t so jarring in real life and more subtle. I also received an art print card, chocolate, mint flavored kit kat, and some mini Altoids.
From jemimah I received a fabric book mark and an art print card
Thank you Stellato_escuro and jemimah!
I received three packages - from my partners @Averia, and @Stellato_escuro, and an unexpected extra from @jemimah - thanks so much to you all!
From @Averia - a gorgeous felt chickadee that is double sided; I love this little guy and I am going to use him, along with some other ornaments I got from other swaps to make a mobile for my craft room so he can hang out with me year round. I love that card too - it’s one @Flygirl88 made - I love how detailed her embossing is.
From @Stellato_escuro - an art piece, mounted on a magnet - I did not want to take it out of the protective sleeve because I have been sucking at putting things back in sleeves and tearing them lately - the colours are duller than in real life because I had to turn off the flash to reduce glare in the pic. I love how organic this is - it is making me think of organisms under a microscope.
and from @jemimah - I love how in sync you and @Averia were - you both sent me chickadees and they both arrived on the same day - I love this and I am going to have Jim make a frame for it so it can go up on the wall with my remaining nuthatches and some other bird art I have - it will go perfectly!
Thanks everyone!
And I got a lovely lovely bookmark from @jemimah I love it. Thank you so much. I’m so in awe of the joy and love that you sprinkled across the world with this swap. I ran with scissors!
I was surprised today to have an envelope from New Zealand! Love my bookmark/mini art from @jemimah!
All the chickadees are wonderful!
And I love that painting with all the circles done by @Stellato_escuro!
