First: from @Kwality570
The card and extras - a mini notebook, a ton of tea (who knew there were so many flavors?!) Cinnamon roll, strawberry cheesecake, hot chocolate and marshmallow, blueberry muffin, birthday cake, peach cobbler, and gingerbread cookie
And then she made a beautiful mini travel journal cover with mini notebook inside and a coordinating bookmark.
I also love the tassel on the bookmark! I save my fabric bits for random uses too, and it’s great seeing more uses!
Thank you so much! I love it all!

From @Abbeeroad
First the extras:
A handmade card, a sticker, some maple (guessing from the shape) candies, and lemon, raspberry leaf, and blueberry acai teas.
And the makes:
Fabric baskets! She said her first was a fail so she made a new one, but cleaned up the fail and sent it as another extra. But they’re both beautiful!
How did you do the lettering? Did you print it, word stamps, letter stamps? I love them!
Also a photo of Miss Rosa who loves them too. I had to move them out of her reach because she says they smelled fascinating

I love the lettering on the baskets! I made something similar for Tapestry. I originally wanted to add some words to the basket but couldn’t wrap my head around it.

@Tapestry went a bit wild with hers! It’s fun, amazing, and a bit mind blowing.
I had a friend cut the tape for me as I was cooking dinner, and he yelled “oh, look! Ghost poop!” what?! That’s what he and his roommate call white foam packing pieces lol.
First the handmade card and one sticker i rescued from the shipping box (it was also sealed with bumble bee duct tape!). I’m going to try rescuing the other too.
Extras:
Stickers
More stickers
Brownie crisp cookies and pink hot cocoa
Socks, pen (says Great Idea on the side), and a squishee pterodactyl (he’s so cute)
Aaaallllll of that… and haven’t even gotten to the make yet!
It’s a miniature Doctor Who themed shelf! Socks for scale.
It celebrates/ represents all Doctors from 9-15. Includes River Song’s Diary, Fez, Bowtie, blue sonic screwdriver, a banana, TARDIS key, 3-D Sunglasses, Psychic paper reading “marble inspector”, Fender guitar pickn̈ a spoon, and the quote.
I don’t know yet where to hang it! But it’s so perfect. Now I’m going to share photos with friends to make them jealous hahaha.
Thank you sooo much!

Thank you all for making each other such lovely, wonderful, inspiring, positive goodies! I have been following the gallery all week but unable to catch up on commenting. Very busy first week back at work with a huge event that was not well planned by the person in charge until I took over (the day before!). Construction at home that is going over time and budget, eep! And the dog bit me, not once but twice, hand and foot. She’s a rescue and proving very difficult to train this out of.
SO! It has been incredibly uplifting to see all your terrific crafts and the care you sent to one another, I really needed that.

Thank you so much
Yes, the bottom layer is collage, and the top layer is a piece of plastic that I salvaged from a workbook cover. I put holes in both pieces and attached with the yarn; that way, the background is interchangeable. The writing is directly on the plastic with permanent marker.

I received the coolest snarky affirmation today from @MamaRhi (and I love snark!)
First, the extras- lots of fun stickers and fancy tea:
And the main event: a collage-y shadow box with figurine and quote
The circle in the center is a mirror (I was trying not to get the phone reflection in it). Thanks Rhiannon- it’s great!

Yay, it arrived! I love snark too. I’m so glad you like my creation.
Btw, if you have cats, hide the tea. I ended up having to hide it from Betty while it waited to be packed up.

This gallery is full of such wonderful happy vibes! 
I’ve also just received a super happy little parcel from @Annchen!!
As well as the beautiful card with a favourite Ursula Le Guin quote, she made a pair of lovely “journey” inspired coasters, and added a huge haul of vintage postage stamps and ephemera for my own creative projects too! Thank you for such a happy swap package Ann, I’m really going to enjoy using everything
