Post your lovelies here!
I received from @Bunny1kenobi on Friday. We had a chaotic weekend so I didn’t get a chance to snap photos until today! I loved this package so much.
First, a wonderfully fun ATC, which I am super happy to add to my growing collection. I was obsessed with Egyptology when I was a kid and I am pretty sure I have watched everything about it on every streaming service.
Next, a super fun looking card game that I have never heard of until now. Mr. Stitch and I love games, so I think we are going to try it out this next weekend.
An adorable little charm that I am going to have to find a chain for. It’s full of cards, card suits and little poker chips.
I don’t know how she did it, but she also made a bag that is so very ME while sticking with the theme. I adore this so much and will be wearing it to my nail appointment tomorrow. The bag charm is such a whimsical touch, even if it was hard to take a picture of.
Thank you so much for making this swap such a wonderful experience, Deanna!

I’m so glad you like it!
The bag gave me a few challenges but it turned out okay, I think, especially considering it was made without any kind of a pattern! Yeah, I kinda went out on a limb there… glad it worked out!
The little bottle was originally attached to the bag charm- I’m sorry it wandered off…
The Sticks game is a family favorite, and just as fun for 2 as for a larger group. I hope you enjoy it, too!
I also had an Egyptology obsession as a kid- I think I could spell “archaeologist” by second grade! 
So the ATC was a fun challenge.

Wow that bag is so pretty! Great haul! I can’t believe how tiny the jar charm must be

I received a jumbo swap package from @Wildblue. Ya’ll won’t believe everything they included. I am totally spoiled!
There is a set of 4 playing card holders, which look to be crocheted over recycled CDs. Here is one of them in action.
Yes, they gifted me all those cards with cool artwork on them AND the most adorable playing card stickers I have ever seen. Here is the whole set of card holders, with some turned over so you can see the backs.
They also sent a set of handmade buttons, a heart coaster, a heart coozy, and a little crocheted envelope-style pouch that had inside it, a brand new deck of playing cards with pretty flowers on them.
Thank you SO much, @Wildblue! it’s all awesome and I already tried out the card holders. (We’ve been playing Res Arcana lately, at my house.)

I received from @stitchandstones yesterday!
How cool is this? A nod to my HEMA hobby, with a playing card twist, on something I can never have enough of: a journal.
I love these double-sided bookmarks!
Look at the cute detail–these are hand-painted.
Playing card houses
Crocheted heart and spade
And lots of cute extras 
Thank you; I love it

I’m glad you enjoyed it!
I bought the playing card beads- as much as I would have liked to claim I painted those as well 
I’m hoping you don’t mind me sending washi and ATC blanks. (Maybe a little selfish encouragement for you to make more ATCs haha 
).
The card houses were the most challenging to get the hang of. But now that I understand the process better, I do want to make more. I have seen a lot of photos online where people have made them, then decorated them as a Halloween or Christmas village.

Those houses are so coveted…I love them! The bookmarks are also so nicely done!
And now I also need those playing card holders! How practical are those!

You kidding? I love both the washi tape and the ATC blanks I didn’t have to cut out myself, lol!!

I’m thinking about adding some kind of string to the heart and spade to hang from our gaming shelves I’ll post if I do it.

Please do!
If not, I very much enjoyed just squishing them

I came home to a beautiful box full of treasures from @LindyBlues last night.
This journal is just amazing, it’s full of rainbow colors 
and has beautiful ribbon binding, and a pocket inside with rainbow trim
Inside the pocket was a sky blue envelope with 3 atcs, 2 of which are rainbow
Thank you so much, lindyBlues, and thanks @Bunny1kenobi for this swap. It’s been a really fun time crafting this summer.
