What an amazing gallery so far!!! Life has been busy, so I’ve been neglectful in commenting, but I figure that I’ll catch up now.
@Bunny1kenobi Your queen vampire drawing is great! I love her swirly hair!
@bethntim Everything you sent is amazing, but that sweet Baba Yaga house is darling! I can’t imagine cross stitching on black ada fabric, so I commend you!! And the little monster shadowbox is darling!
@MightyMitochondria Wowie! you sent a spectacular package. Those cards are my absolute favorite, but the notebook cover with the mouth pocket is so clever! And adorable. I love the green spots!!!
@Tapestry The expression on the face of the card you sent MightyM is adorable! I can hear him laughing! The tissue box is absolutely amazing. I’m not sure why, but it reminds me of a character from a cartoon! I want to boop that nose. The fauxidermy is also fantastic! What a sweet face and the painting is magnificent!
@momiemae the artwork you made is fun. The texture the different backgrounds adds is super great!

I received from @curiousfae she sent me a dragon cannister! I think it’s diamond art? I love how sparkly it is!
I also included some pics of the notecard and the pretty wrapping.

That canister is definitely one of the coolest uses of mixed medias I have ever seen. I never would’ve thought to combine the two
This gallery just gets better and better
I am (im)patiently awaiting delivery of mine. It said it should arrive by 9 pm!!

@curiousfae Holy Hotpants! That’s absolutely stunning!!! I love the way the diamond art makes the dragon look so magical. This must have taken you a VERY long time! Gorgeous!

Thank you! I am really enjoying designing the graphics and working on these. It’s a very meditative process for me. I imagine it’s a lot like the satisfaction you get doing cross stitch or something similar.
@bethntim it’s so hard to create a graphic small enough to fit on a project and still make out what it is so this canister worked well. It’s a large and fragile item to send but worked well for this medium so I took a chance am I’m pleased it didn’t break in transit!

Oh
My
Goodness
I received from @jeanneleigh and I just can’t stop playing with it! First up was an incredibly sweet card that she had received from bunny1kenobi in last years swap
Then she said this lil punch needle guy was a bit shy but I think I got him to come out of his shell pretty good. He’s so incredibly cute I just cannot deal with it!! He just needs a name
THEN the 80’s child in me squealed when I saw this amazing Fashion Plates take on monster-o-Rama! Each guy has 3 sections that can be interchanged all on a magnetic base with an amazing laser cut frame with FEETSIES!!!
LOOK HOW COOL!!!
Then of course the packing had to have a lil monster peeking at me. Darling!

@jeanneleigh You knocked it out of the park with that package. I’ve very unsuccessfully tried needle felting in the past and your little monster with the anteater snout is sooo cute. The little monster sorter thing is maybe one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. You captured every detail, even down to the very amazing backgrounds on them! Bravo! I’m so impressed!

I received a super creative package from @MamaRhi !
Both of her items were made from small clay pots! The first is a Fresno Nightcrawler, one of my favorite cryptids. They are just so fun! She said she had never heard of them before.
I am going to get an air plant and give this little one a funky hairdo. LOL! She added resin to the bottom of the tray to hold the grass in to show it is from Yosemite.
Next, I got this adorable little lady Yeti. Her name is Loretti. I am told she doesn’t eat much, but I swear she has been eyeing my cats. 
She also included this amazing t-shirt. I am not a size medium (she asked in advance), but I plan to turn it into a pillow! So cool!
Thank you so much MamaRhi! I love everything and look forward to swapping with you again!

I am so glad you like everything! I can’t wait to see a pic of an air plant in the nightcrawler! And when I saw that t-shirt I was really hoping you’d have a crafty idea for it. Yay!! I may be just as excited about you getting your monsters as getting whatever you sent to me.

Adventures in USPS mishaps are overwith for this package at least. Today I got the most amazing monster crafts from @gozer ! Looks like USPS may have dropped something on the box, causing a hole, a little repairable damage, and a trip back and forth across New Mexico…
Monster hoop earrings! I love them so!! The one in the box has a detached leg due to the above mentioned damage, but we have scheduled surgery for after work today. Totally fixable!
Just creepy enough monster perfection! When I was pinning monster stuff on Pinterest, I realized I was veering into strange Victorian stuff and storybook monsters. So this is just perfect. I love it!
And EXTRAS too!! The last time I saw a fortune telling fish, I bought one just to show my kids and that was at least a decade ago. So many wonderful goodies! Totally worth the wait! Thank you SO MUCH @gozer !!!

I am so glad you like it! I was determined to make you earrings, since you said that was your dream item. I went a little out of my comfort zone, so I am glad you like them.
I have a whole yard of that weird fabric with creepy Victorian-type monster families. I was wondering what I was going to do with it. When I saw your Pinterest, I knew I had to use it.
I am glad it finally made its way to you!

That is the most awesome fabric! I have a small collection of creepy Victorian type Christmas and Halloween cards. It makes me wonder about what they were thinking!
Great use of the fabric…and those earrings! You have to do a post on them…they are just so different!

Awesome package! I love the earrings and that pen is so cute! Are the Victorian monsters wall art? A box for storing things? I’m so curious about it and hope it gets its own post too! And now I’m off to Google fortune telling fish…
