Awesome package, @kittykill. Those cat hooplas are adorable. My fave is the yarn planet!

It seems my original package from @tendstowardschaos had an escapee that snuck off and stole some supplies along the way. Luckily, Erin corralled the adorable little sucker into a second small box and sent him on his way. He arrived today, just a bit behind the original flat rate box.
Behold Gerald, most magnificent of octopi:
Erin made him for my daughter so Cass wouldn’t feel left out and she LOVES him. Thank you for the super thoughtful bonus!
Here are the lovely yarn remnants that Gerald brought along and a cute card!

I’m so glad! Sorry he didn’t fit in the first box. He’s tiny - he should have.

So many great things in the gallery! @HBoose I am so happy you like everything. When I was stitching up the kitties I totally thought of a story behind it. The professor kitty is dreaming of his favorite kitty planet to travel to, he can not wait to venture into kitty space and have a meowing good time.

Those kitty hoops are so much fun!
I received from @HBoose!
I love this mermaid tin. It is so me!
I just love these little ornaments! They have my dogs’ names on them.
A pretty pendant and some fun stickers and of course a Halloween ornament.
Thank you so much. It is such a fun package.

I received from @jeanneleigh ! I was thoroughly spoiled!
Kinetic art! So cool! The little discs tinkle and catch the light- great upcycle!
And buttons! I’m a total sucker for buttons. 
The cutest bottle of mermaid tears (the “shake well” label cracks me up)!
A pendant featuring the teeeeeeniest watercolor art! Wow!
A fabulous heart magnet and a beautiful cyanotype picture!
Some close-ups:
This was on the back of the cyanotype and I was glad, as I’d never heard of such a thing. I love this piece of art.
Lastly but certainly not leastly, some lovely notecards:
Thank you so much for such a brilliant package! I love it all!

I can’t believe I’m just now finding the gallery. Woah, some seriously A-MAZ-ING crafts!!!
The Zelda bag is so cool, @tendstowardschaos!
Love @Tapestry ’s raven & bees!
@Bunny1kenobi, I’m loving your octopi in teacups & snarky wall hangings.
@kittykill ’s embroidery is awesome, as per usual.
And @HBoose, your little tin is so much fun.
@jeanneleigh, your tiny art is so charming.
Sorry I’m a bit tardy with my feedback!
And… now I present @Kwality570 ’s brain-shatteringly brilliant package. She spoiled me SO much! The box was literally distorted because of all the goodness she crammed in there.
This is just the tip of the iceberg! How cool are those monster bags?!? (We’ll get to their contents a bit later.) She made the orange dish scrubbie (which is already installed at my kitchen sink) and the cute tags. Plus there are just so many fun extras that I can’t even begin to discuss every one of them. But I gotta mention those carded buttons; I’m gonna find good uses for them. Plus sparkly yarns. Yum!
Next up, a handmade cube of soap that smells like heaven. My next shower is going to be like a spa experience! There are adorable little trinkets (that owl!!!) and wooden frames and a whole sheet of craft-related stamps.
These marvelous stars, built from diamond-shaped pieces of masterboard, are wonderful. I can’t decide which one to keep and which ones to send…
I requested a magnet, and she sent THREE jaunty monsters to put on my fridge. Each one is such a little masterpiece; I think you really have to look at them close-up to appreciate how much time and care went into these beauties. So many subtle shadings…
This flag makes me so, so happy! I really love the bright, sunshiny vibe of it. I have already hung it up in my “studio” / workroom area so I’ll see it every single day. It’s actually constructed on an upholstery sample fabric. So cool!
And there’s this cute little hand-sewn basket that matches one she sent me in a prior swap. So cheery!
Thought I’d include one more shot of all the handmade items all together. What an amazing array of creativity! I LOVE everything; thank you so much, @Kwality570!

I’m so glad you like everything! I definitely just went with my inspiration for you. 
The bunting and the painted panel on the fabric bin have a finishing layer of gloss gel medium. I hope it’s protective! I actually don’t know.
Big hair ladies 4eva!

Abbee! That package came out so magically! (Yes, I got a sneak peek as she was making it.) It feels like such a cohesive collection, in perfectly Abbeeroad style.
