YAY I get to the be the first person to receive and what a package I received. I was lucky to pair up with @jemimah and this is what I got.
You’ve got this is a super special saying for me as it whats my mum used to say to me before she passed away. So it feels extra special that it was the one selected from the list I sent.
Thanks @jemimah I love it all! I cant wait to tuck in to the chocolate. I am saying it for a craft day!
Yay! I’m so glad you like your little package
Gorgeousness! Those feathers are delightful & I know the chocolate will be amazing. What is the pink & floral folded thingy?
Lovely package! I adore the rainbow.
It’s a little notebook/shopping list pad for your handbag, with a reusable scrappy fabric cover.
I recieved from @jemimah as well! We decided to do a slightly larger swap and the package was packed with awesomeness.
Clockwise from the top: a beautiful 8x6" watercolor inspired by a tutorial from Nianiani on Youtube (her turorials are soooooo good and I just love her art style), a fabric covered mini notebook I’m going to use for art notes, a tiny coloring zine with cute art by Jemimah, some cute affirmation cards, a lovely fabric coaster in soothing blues, yummy chocolate (I’ve already started nibbling on it), and a hand-made mini watercolor paper art journal with some painted background pages!
Here’s a peek inside the art journal:
And inside the notepad which was soooooo timely because I need somewhere to jot notes about what certain supplies are for (WHY do I have a bottle of GAC 200 and what the heck did I want it for?):
Thank you for the loveliest package, Kirsten!
I received a such a happy package from @Kwality570 today!
The extras- tea and stickers! I’m looking forward to trying these new-to-me flavors of tea.
And the main event- monster art!!
Thank you so much @Kwality570 - he’s already hanging on the LC art wall!
Such an adorable monster! Those teas sound yummy.
@Tapestry I would love to see a close up of that coaster, the fabrics seem like they are really nice!
@jeanneleigh your @Kwality570 monster is just the greatest! Super cutie, those stripey horns are too sweet.
I received from both @curiousfae and @Kwality570!
(these are in no particular order )

Everything from curiousfae - card, watercolor bookmark, magnets, and jellybeans! Even the wrapping paper is fun!
(I’m going to save the jellybeans for the next time I hang out with friends so I can have them try them too! )
The magnets! They are all so great and they’re already decorating my white board!
Thank you so much!

Everything from Kwality570 - card, stickers, teas, and monster art!
(I’m looking forward to trying the teas!)
Monster art - look how cute he is! He’s going on my wall as soon as I decide the best spot for him.
Thank you so much!
Oh man, that magnet set is just terrific.
I love this monster art!
Great packages!
@curiousfae- those magnets are amazing! I love all of them.
@Kwality570 - such cute monster art!
Yay! Glad you like everything.
Hey @Kwality570 great minds think alike!
I’ve been away for a couple of weeks, and just got back (rather exhausted) over the weekend. Well, I got a marvellous boost of positive and happy energy in my mailbox today - a beautiful package from @Mvanrh11!
Here’s all the things, complete with some delicious chocolate and a lovely card (we agreed to send a slightly bigger package, since we both live in Australia) -
@Mvanrh11’s sewing is lovely - she made me a gorgeous mug rug from scraps from her most recent quilt top, and the cleverest little zipper pouch in a favourite shade of green
And she made me this incredibly thoughtful birthday calendar - perfect for remembering everyone’s birthdays throughout the year. I’ve had a little birthday notebook before, but this will be so much better because I’ll actually look at it (I always forget to consult the little notebook). Each month has a different favourite quote of mine, so I’ll be inspired all year long
Thanks so much @Mvanrh11, I love everything you made, and this was such a fun and joyful swap!
I received from kittykill today!
I love hearts. This embroidery hoop is perfect and can hang right behind my computer where I’ll see it every day.
Extras included a painted tea tin, some tea (stress free rose & mint, radiate beauty blueberry & aloe, sweet clementine stress support) and 2 small notebooks. Her card had positive affirmation words written inside too.
If anybody needs better photos let me know. I’m dealing with a wild quail loose in my apartment (thanks to the cat who’s also loose in my apartment) I’m trying to keep one in the bedroom and one in the kitchen (hopefully morning light will help it get outside) so not much room to spread things out at the moment.
Quail pic for funzies. He made it to the top of my front door… but then flew back inside
Such great packages! @jemimah I love all your artwork but especially those painted feathers! The bookshelf scene is also lovely. @curiousfae - those magnets are amazing! I love that each one has a little extra bling on it (and the shading on the lettering is A+). @Kwality570 - I love all the monsters! @Mvanrh11 - the mug rug and pouch are lovely and so well made! Great colors. @kittykill what skillful embroidery and such a sweet note! @EclecticDreamer - there has to be a story behind the wild quail in your house. . .
That birthday book is amazing and a great idea to boot!
Love Kitty’s embroidery, sweet & pretty.
That quail though, lol, stealing the show!
The story is I have a cat. Miss Rosa is an amazing huntress. I was lying on my bed reading, and suddenly there she was… and the bird she was packing in got loose. It made it from my bedroom to the top of the front door. Where it stopped. Unfortunately it was facing the wrong direction when i tried encouraging it to go outside so flew back inside. It was briefly on top of a painting on my wall, then BEHIND the door, then ran and hid in the kitchen. It’s hiding in a dark spot I can’t reach. I’m hoping now that it’s morning and when the sun is a bit brighter ai can open the front door and it will figure things out. Last time this happened I had a sparrow inside for 2 days but playing sparrow sounds on youtube in front bof him then walking to my door helped him figure it out and he followed and got outside. This quail didn’t pay any attending to quail calls
