It took a little while to get to NZ from Sweden but it’s been worth the wait - I got my secret Santa gift from Spring Ephemeral! Some beautiful hand printed stationery, fun ephemera for mixed media art, a great cloud texture stamp and an amazingly cute hand carved snail mail stamp - perfect for me AND a wonderful long letter too!!

The little snail stamp is from the Frog and Toad stories and even says “Toad” on it - wow! Your carving skills are awesome! Thank you so much @Annchen!!

Oh gosh, that stamp is so cute!

And we are down to one last package still in transit! So close!!

I’m glad you like it! I had lots of fun with the snail stamp. It was also nice to have an excuse to flip through my old postage stamp collection and pull out fun and interesting stamps for you.

I received an Etsy giftcard last night from Stripey Sweater! Thank you! I hear there may be a package still inching it’s way toward my front porch so I’ll post pics if the mail gods decide to smile on me and deliver.

This has been a lovely swap. Thank you for organizing @thanate & @calluna!

And with that we are officially done! Thank you all for playing and being patient with the mail craziness!

At last: thanate’s gingerbread man has survived postal purgatory and completed his 60-mile journey to me!

Thank you!

Oh, gosh, Baltimore is still working through its backlog! Glad this one made it out!

No pic, but mine also just made it to Pittsburgh too!

Oh my gosh, look what showed up in our mailbox today! When I first saw them I had such a fit of envy but I didn’t think one would be coming to stay with me. I am SO HAPPY to have this little friend, thank you very much @thanate

I immediately made a cup of the tea you sent and finished a project I’ve been agonizing over since November, lol. You were more help than you even realize

Yay! I’m glad it gave you that final push you needed!
