I just love love love organic. LOVE. This layout is excellentito for sure!
She also included a print (she used as a notecard) and a small spell notebook. part of a limited edition made by her friend who lives on a barge!! Can you believe it? The print is a limited edition linocut and was made by her friend who lives a barge!
She sent me a great mug rug with my “teacher name” on it, it has now made it’s home on my desk. I also recieved postcards (I love looking at these older houses, in Utah we don’t have anything much older than the 1900’s standing). I am looking forward to trying the stroopwafels, these are new to me. The chocolates are almost gone already. I will enjoy crafting with the fabric this nest Christmas. Thank you for everything, I love it!
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.
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!
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):
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 @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!
I’m an over-achiever!) on to the little extra good things!
