Packages Received!

I received my swap packages this week! :) These are so much fun to put together and then receive...I love to get packages in the mail.

The first one I received was my apron from Kathleen! It's so adorable and the picture does not do it justice. I absolutely LOVE the fabric and it looks so cute on. No, I won't post a picture of me in it though...just have to take my word. She also included some really cute Valentine items - picture frame, candles and socks. (She's from Texas too...) Thanks so much Kathleen!!

The next one I received was from Funky Art Queen as part of the Valentine Swap. She sent so much stuff that when I was opening the box there was more and more and more... My favorite thing is the pink felt bird though. I can't wait to find it a lovely home in my new house. She's a very talented artist and the picture does not do justice to the bird or box behind it! I feel honored to have been matched with her in the swap, and for being able to have a couple of her pieces. :) Thanks Funky Art Queen - yet another Texan!

The final package I received was from my Secret Admirer...Wenche...all the way from Norway! She did such an amazing job putting together her Valentine box - she even made the box herself! Thanks so much Wenche!!! She included a little something for my beading, some candy, some really pretty fabric and a pattern for a cute tote bag, an embroidered heart, two packages of note cards, and a really adorable cat button. (looks like she checked out my blog...)

I still need to get my Secret Admirer swap package in the mail...and wouldn't you know it - no pictures! I still have the box in my possession, but don't want to open it to take pictures. Here's a list of the contents though - can't tell who it's for yet - shh...it's a secret.

  • Heart box (requred - decopauged with a brown-pink-blue-yellow floral)
  • B&BW bath gel
  • Pink bath pouf
  • Bath Salts
  • Peppermint foot care kit (lotion, scrub, soak)
  • Mango lip gloss
  • Flower seeds
  • Silver heart necklace
  • Candy

Yes, it is pretty much the same stuff as I sent in the Valentine swap box. But, what girl doesn't love to get flowers, jewelry and candy - plus some extras - for Valentines? :)

I'm happy to see that the box arrived in one piece and that you can find a use for the content. I had high hopes that it would arrive before Valentines Day and it did :) When you can't buy something.......well then you just have to make it yourself :) Enjoy.
