… and one more from jemimah! She knows I have a soft spot for rabbits… but what she did not know, is that my husband is ALL about sci-fi and time travel!
Thank you SO much! These are both so beautiful!

Second up, from Edel, the most amazing pocket letter - Harry Potter themed - and with so many lovely bits and pieces to play with.
And a striking card (I love the plane reflection in the water) and some chocolate - which is still intact so far 
but won’t be for long!

And thirdly (
all in one day ) from Annchen, the prettiest of ATCs, inspired by her New Years Day walk
And those stamps - she included them in the package
A stunning card and lots of lovely chocolate & sweets to try. The ‘Zoo’ ones are lovely, have not tried the rest yet

My turn. I got a fabulous package from @JoyfulClover she sent me three brilliant hand carved stamps. She has clearly been stalking me because i really wanted these stamps. Two go together to make an allover repeat and oneb is s really clever little fox.
And she made a donation to feed am owl and sent me some bookmarks. The final item puzzled me at first. It’s a fantastically clever fold up reusable straw. In this photo it’s open it even comes with a cleaning brush, so clever
And it folds up to clip into a keyring.
These are a first quick try on paper of the stamps

I almost hate it when the gallery explodes because so does my head!
I made a quick look around and will have to come back and comment because everything is wonderful!

@Edel That would be so lovely! They both love the movie, me too (these days I’m more into the music). I’d love to work out something with you 
OMG OMG I can’t even! This is too much goodness, I need to go back and review all the beautiful things when I get home. WHAT A GALLERY! YOU PEOPLE ARE AMAZING!

Right! I need to catch up on some comments!
@TheMistressT - that sewing machine cross stitch is adorable!! and the card is amazing!
@seeuudee - the birdie hoop and the butterfly hoop are both so sweet, and I love the 3D effects!! the butterfly hoop is such a perfect fit for @AIMR’s collection!
@Koreena - the quilted mats you made are great - the fabric and colour combo is so pretty! Do you have a pattern/link for that folded paper star? It looks really cool 
@Trillian - such gorgeous pouches! They look super useful and pretty 
@Cyn-energy - that pieced snail is so clever and cool! love it 
Your collection of prayer flags looks wonderful all together!
@Bunny1kenobi - I might have already mentioned this, but I think that black felt kitty is the cutest!
@Edel - I know firsthand how great your pouches are, of course - but also the cute mug rug, and my word, that amazing pocket letter!! That looks like so much fun!
@Annchen - that ATC is gorgeous - love what you did with the watercolour, and hand-carved stamps are so cool!!
@JoyfulClover - aaaahh! more hand-carved stamps! They are fabulous!!
(sorry if I missed something or got something mixed up!)
As Edel mentioned, I did send a little something to everyone. I was lucky that I had my summer holiday at home with nothing to do but paint and make stuff and swim all day. I wasn’t always able to be active on the old site (life got in the way sometimes), but I have always been so grateful for the kindness and the creative inspiration that this community has given me, and I love you all 
If you don’t get something in the mail from me in the next few weeks (should be sooner, but we all know mail …) - message me and I can send something else!

@Edel I’m so happy you received and like your package! I made the stamps, and did test runs. But, after they were cleaned up and mounted, I didn’t stamp them again, so it’s fun to see what they look like!
And I thought the straw was the best! Hug the planet, and the turtles, right?!

@jemimah Oh, WOW! Yet another bit of happy mail to look forward to! THANK YOU in advance!
Browsed through the gallery again…
The HP themed pocket letter is so detailed…and the explosion of extas…those flowered button in the middle are really catching my eye!
And, to receive an ATC and the stamp that made the card is awesome…love stamps like that which can be used in so many ways @Annchen…
Looks like edel will be playing with her stamps as well…so many combinations are possible…
The fold up straw is indeed useful…they have practically banned straws at our beaches…even paper ones…

Forgive me for missing some things again. When the gallery explodes like it did again!, it’s just too much for me to process and remember when I try to comment. @joyfulclover, how neat are the hand-carved stamps! And a FOLDING(!) reusable straw?? No way!
Very pretty atc from @annchen! Neat how you added a hand-carved stamp too, and then sent it along as well!
And @jemimah keeps filling people’s mailboxes with happy mail!

Guys. Guys, GUYS! I know you know already, but how awesomely awesome is @jemimah! I have recently been a recipient of her spectacular art! I can’t contain my excitement, so I shall just show you what she’s created (and know i have refrained from using an unacceptable amount of exclamations!!!)
AAAAAAHHHHHHH! It is Chaircat Mao! I have the happies and the tears! She is now displayed where I can see her while crating all the things, and it makes me very happy. Thank you dearly, jemimah! She is most loved!

Forgive me, swappers, for being so very, very late to the gallery party. Have been enmeshed in a personal life net that has also snared much of my focus and attention (metaphors…am I right?) so that my partners’ items are only now just about ready to be sent and I am finally posting to this thread – yay!
Also, I received from one partner, irid3sc3nt, who sent me an altered mini tin decked out as a locket style holiday ornament…
…an ATC,
(irid3sc3nt said “Stay Gold” is a song by the Black Pumas from one of her current favorite albums; it’s hard to tell from the picture but the outline of the words is slightly embossed)…
…and a small bag with pieces of international candy that somehow has vanished in the time since it arrived…
Thanks, irid3scent, your package will be on its way tomorrow!

The tiny tin is so cute! I love the pipe cleaner used as a hanger!

This gallery is off the charts. Everything!!
It appears there is a kerfuffle with my mail and some things are being held with my landlord’s mail while he’s out of the country for a month. 
So if you sent me something it might be a ridiculously long time before I have it in my hands, but it is safe at some post office, and I WILL share it here!

I can’t even with this gallery. It’s awesomely overwhelming but I’m admiring everything and clicking love buttons
