I received from Some_Girl! I am still out of the country, so my husband opened it over a video chat last night. I am excited to see everything in person when I get home – it all looks totally excellent, and I was 100% spoiled! I will post screenshots from our video call when I have a chance – I’m just about to hit the road for a road trip. 
Thanks Some_Girl!

So I got my package from @LeapFeetFirst Friday, and I was trying to get some better pictures but we’ve had dreary rain and snow, so…
You’ll just have to trust me that in person, these colors are GORGEOUS.
The picture really doesn’t do it justice. 
But it’s like after many times of me claiming fiber in the STS swaps, she knows that I LOVE her fiber!!!
And bonus yarn! And yummy chocolate! And more print-outs to make more card (I’m going to really start doing a better job packaging my swap packages, and making cards will be the first part!!!
(all the best movies, and a few I haven’t seen that I will have to, now!!!)
Thank you so much, LFF, you ROCK!!!

Oooh I love those print outs!
Fabulous gallery going on here! 
Now the only problem is that I want to join more swaps and there aren’t any active swaps to join yet

I hope it all survived the trip and that you enjoy it all!
I didn’t make the buttons, just had them in my stash. They are actually wood! The placemats are made with some upholstery samples I had in stash, backed with some cotton I also had in stash. So she can put them on the table matching, or not!

neat!
that fabric is really cool!
that nativity is amazing!
Here is the wonderful swap I received from Bugaboo. I am a school teacher and this is my first gift with my title on it. I love that she incorporated Harry Potter into it -you might not be able to tell from the back, it is a clipboard! The salsa has been opened and is delicious. I also love the Hogwarts storage container. Thanks for all your hard work and thought!

Haha! I love both the Harry Potter Muggle teacher references!
Everything is so great… I want that nativity scene, as well as the pretty butterflies. And the bookmark is so cool!
This gallery is amazing!!!
Beautiful goodies so far! I am ogling all the crafts, but also all of the chocolate. 
As promised, here are some screen shots from my video chat with my husband, during which he opened my parcel from Some_Girl!
First up was this cute homemade card:
And inside was a printout of Bob Ross that she used to have in her cubicle (if I remember right!) I love Bob Ross, and we just introduced my four-year-old niece to him over Christmas, haha.
There was lots of tea, just a few bags made it into the pic!
Adorable stickers:
Say what! A whole box of chocolate:
This adorable sign, which I will probably hang in my bakery when it gets started up next month!
This extraordinarily cute Moomin hoop! Seriously, so cute. Can’t wait to see him in person!
Group shots! (Including Turtles and an All You Need is Love magnet which didn’t make it into previous photos).
Thank you so much, Some_Girl – I feel 100% spoiled!

Yay! So happy you liked it. (Disappointed that letter ‘O’ looks to have dislodged itself in transport! Ugh. That’ll learn me.) Happy that the Moomin hoop survived Canada Post though!

Oh my word, this gallery! I’m glad you can scroll while composing a reply, because it’s too easy to miss something. Steampunk bunny makes me smile, so cute 
The fibre looks great, can’t wait to see what it becomes 
Even though I’ve never read Harry Potter, I think that clipboard is hilarious 
The inspirational sign and moomin hoop are adorable 
and the reaction pics

WHOA! So many great packages! I just can hardly even pick favorites. What an group of amazing creative makers we have in this community! No wonder an Evil Corporation couldn’t keep us down!
This gallery is at the same time inspiring as h*ck and swap anxiety inducing. D’oh!

I may have to figure out how to make that hoopla for my dtr – we were just
recently texting about how much she likes the Moomin Troll books!
Thanks for sharing your video chat pics – it was like being there with you!
