Ooooh, those tiny jars! And the teeny tiny bear!!! And the Tardis! And oh just about everything. I love this gallery, everyone has made such thoughtful items for their partners 
Ack, so many great things added to the gallery, so exciting! The HP papercut shadowbox is lovely and I’m super jealous. The mini recycling bin is so fun! At first, I thought the chocolates were crushed mini cans for the bin, but then I took off my glasses and squinted real close…oh, candy! 
MW makes all of the best minis, and when she combines that talent with zombies, it is pure perfection. Baby Merle is hilarious.
We all want Wee Baby Bear, don’t we ladies? 
Oh man, the TARDIS! Whoa!

@Tapestry - Wow that Tardis is a work of art. I hope @LuckyXIIICreations makes a thread about it, because I would love to know more about how it was made.
@Mountains_and_Clouds That itty bitt bear is so cute! Don’t let my dolls see - they might start demanding one of their own and I don’t have nearly the crochet skills that @Smeddley does.

My grandmother used to make things like that wee bear. 
And oh gosh, the craftster stickers!!
Organizer note: Has anyone heard from either Thimbles71 or waterbaby?

@Cyn-energy That made me giggle. Merle there is a 1/6th scale hyper-realistic action figure from a company called ThreeZero (so he’s about the same height as a Barbie doll). He’s on an after-market body, though, that gives him extra-realistic floppy posing abilities, which I love. He hangs around the house being adorably disgruntled.

My package is in the mail, finally. My husband dropped if off before work today so it should hopefully be on its way to UK already.

Who doesn’t love coming home to packages in the mailbox?! I double-downed today 
BOTH my partners knocked it out of the park!
First, @megwell made me THREE amazing ATCs for my obsessions:
- animals in clothes – I can’t deal with this business Doe, I need to snuggle that, like now…but I’m scared it might send me an invoice afterwards.
- animal/human mashup – a Flo-bird…this cracked me up!! I just made my niece a Flo Halloween apron a few years ago…Megan must have been creeping in the bushes
- she stalked my pinterest and found that I’m in love with 4 older women, the Golden Girls. Now I’ll be singing this for the rest of the day…I’m ok with that.
For the extra, I got a Poe bookmark. I’m just outside of Baltimore, so we love us some Poe up in this area!
I love this wack so much!!
Next, from @fluffypants
Look at this insane painting inspired by Poe. I’m jealous of your painting skills…I could never draw/paint, I can barely type neatly. This is so gorgeous, the theme, colors, proportions, fonts, everything…beautiful!! The banner in the middle is even “aged”. I have hardly any wall space left in my office, but I’m totally willing to take a family picture down to hang this in it’s place . Shhhhh.
For extras, Mary sent me some candies (nuckle deep in the Sugar Babies, as I type this) and some super adorable cat/cat-icorn page markers . awwww.
You ladies made me squeal today, I loved every bit of your packages!

Normally I am very “ugh, him again” about Poe, but that is a really great quote and a gorgeous picture of it!

That painting is incredible!
So glad you like the ATCs. I hadn’t really done anything like the mashups before, so I’m happy they worked out.

Wow! I had totally missed the gallery until just now. For some reason it wouldn’t load for me earlier. Everything is absolutely fabulous, from all the kitties to the Flo-Bird! Loving this swap.

I got my package from @Trillian, which definitely included many little good things:
two fabric pouches, a packet of lovely little envelopes, & a bunch of cool fabric scraps!
The big swirly pouch has a neat bird pull on the zipper.
The little pouch has little bits of butterflies all over it.

Wow! So many beautiful things!!
First of all, hold up. Tiny. Bear.
I REPEAT, TINY. BEAR. Swooooooon
That is one magical TARDIS 
Hilarious animal mashups - I’ll have to remember that theme - I, too, love a dapper animal 
The painting, just… OMG. That is serious talent!
The bags are so perfect, the little one is great for tossing in a purse to wrangle things like earplugs and chapstick.
But now, let’s get town to BUSINESS. I received today from @Lynx and I’m simply tickled pink!!!
I’m uploading from my phone with no preview so forgive me if this needs some fixing …
The cutest little baby “succulent” - I love him so much! I really love the fabric rope pot he’s in. This makes me so happy
This card is a Work of Art - I love everything about it, the colors, the design… This is definitely going in a frame!
The most special commemoration of the new site, the necklace has a tiny lettuce and the word “craft”
And it also came with dark chocolate 
If that’s not perfection, I don’t know what is.
Thank you SO MUCH @Lynx!!! I feel so happy and special

I’ll figure that out soon, but in the meantime, please click & feast your eyes on an amazing hoopla of sweet birdies that she did double duty on with machine embroidery as well as handwork!
And the card is just wonderful (she used her Cricut, which I’m in awe of) and I got a postcard from NY as well as a yummy M&M candy bar! (can’t wait to taste it)
Thank you SO MUCH, Bugaboo1!
(yes, I’m reverting to using our old names from back in the day, ok?)
Great swap partner
P.S. My photo skills are lacking, as usual, so if you have a photo to post, please do!!

Omg, this is my first time checking out the gallery. It’s pretty amazing, and a bit overwhelming, and my swap anxiety is high… the Poe painting is blowing my mind! The colors are gorgeous, and the lettering is so neat and precise as well as natural feeling. The subtle hombre/ fade in the word “beauty” is a nice touch!

I think Pottermouth missed the word “Little”.
I tried to squeeze it all into one shot. Very tough to do. I do not have a big enough surface.
I have so much love for this package! First off in close ups, is this teeny tiny little gem - playing card for size reference. a tiny little bunny with a darling little house for him to sit in.
Snail coasters in the most lovely colors!
face scrubbies - and bonus, cant wait to repurpose the rick-rack. will be awesome for crazy quilting.
Dish scrubbies - cannot believe the one Kbrison sent me has lasted as long as it has and so relieved I will have backup for when it does eventually get used to death.
The colors!!! OMG look at the colors!!! all my favorite shades of blue/indigo
and it just keeps coming, this seemed like a bottomless box
A swiffer cover - I love these! I really hate the idea of using the ones you throw away.
Thank you so very much Pottermouth. I so very much appreciate how thoughtful you were in providing me useful items that I love and in colors that I adore!
