Yay. Got my package at lunch today from @Myrthena and it is brilliant. I suggested cars, quotes, cacti as themes, and Myrthena knocked it out of the park.
I am struggling to add more photos. I’m going to try in another comment.

This kitty genuinely made me laugh out loud!
Another of my themes was fungi, this cross stitched toadstool is adorable, I’ve actually put it on the bookcase in my bedroom.
And this cutie!
I got this pretty kitty

She drew me awesome stickers, and maps with lovely quotes on and so much more awesome stuff. I feel very lucky. I will try to post a couple more photos from my PC in the morning but the uploads keep failing.
Thank you @Myrthena for such a lovely swap package and thank you @Smmarrt for organising. I’m making good progress on my makes.

So much great stuff!
I’ve been having issues loading from my phone lately. Thought it was because I have an old iPhone that keeps running out of space.

I got so many great goodies from @BeesKnees!
A small book where the cover is dyed from flowers/vegetation from her garden. It has lovely coffee dyed paper inside
A large pocket with goodies
This pressed flower with what looks like really old tape on it. Thst look is fantastic!
And this luscious tag. I love everything but this might be my favorite.
How did you get that rusty aged texture on paper? It looks fantastic!
A cute little booklet
This “rice” paper pouch made from seeing pattern paper. So cool.
Spine jewelry!

YAY glad the package arrive and that you are happy with the contents!
The aged tape is achieved by using alcohol inks and straight alcohol on regular scotch tape. You just layer and layer and layer and stop when you think it is done. The straight alcohol chases the ink away where it lands, so you get some really cool effects!
I used a set of effects paste from Prima called “art extravagance” that I purchased like a decade ago for use with polymer clay work and on a whim tried it on paper - I really wanted to get your ‘steampunk’ theme worked into the at least some of the pieces I made for you. The same effect could be reached with just a mix of acrylic, glue and really fine sand for texture in the three colors (brown, oxblood and mustard)

A mini journal filled with so many little goodies - paper clips, ephemera, mini tags, and bits and bobs.
Ashley really embraced the mixed media part - there are pieces that textured, sewn, painted, collaged, and assembled. Thanks so very much Ashley. You rock!

I’m so glad you like your package, @Smmarrt! It was a lot of fun to tap into some other styles and get messy and playful. Thank you, again, for organizing this, and being such a great inspiration and swap patner!

Yesterday my parcel arrived at my sons And we opened it during a video call
Heather did make some marvellous galaxies in different sizes which i do like a lot. Have some ideas what to do with them
There were small earths (on black and white background) that i can cut out.There were very fine leaves and stickers and a bunch of small inserts or background she made
All this accompanied by a nice letter.
THanks Heather . I love your parcel
There is only one picture as son had to make them: I ask him to make some pictures of the different things → let’s put all together and then you see it at once was the message i got
