The Stash & Craft Swap ^__^

The 'industrial moondrop' is so pretty.

Elaine, your work is always amazing. The amount of attention and care that goes into everything you make is just incredible. On a personal note, I got Scharminkeltje's package! WHILE I'M STILL WAITING TO EVEN RECEIVE TIFFANYNOELLE'S STASH ggggrrrrr that's SO annoying. Scharminkeltje had problems making an item out of my stash, and some of it got lost, so she partially replaced it with new stash (you shouldn't have). [URL=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/836/sstashandcraftswap.jpg/][IMG]http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/3518/sstashandcraftswap.jpg[/IMG][/URL] As you can see she made two bracelets, a ring and a pair of earrings. Unluckily, while I love the ring and the earrings - I'm actually wearing them right now - the bracelets look kind of weird on my wrists - I have really small wrists, and the chain goes around them almost 3 times. It looks more like I'm shackled than wearing a bracelet! ^___^°°° You couldn't know it of course, my bad. Don't worry though, I'm already working to turn them into a necklace so I can wear them.

THANK YOU CASSIE

It's got too dark to take pics of the cool Chunky book page.Will do those later.

She still needs a name but she is awesome !

I'm glad you like her! For some reason the buttons just needed to be on a dolly! (I forgot to put it in the note, but my son called her Seasons, you of course don't need to but I just thought I'd tell you )

"Seasons" is it.
Love the watering can fabric and the button butt.She sits on her best assets.
pm-ing you right now

Sally, I've received yours and it's all lovely. I really love the ATCs you made and hubby says thanks for the tea! He's a much bigger tea drinker than I am...I'm too southern and just like my cold and sweet. lol

Hah Mary I know I didn't have to but I felt like a right thing to do And I hope You like Your new personal Stormtrooper! He was a kind of my lucky talisman all the way thru Junior High and High School so let him bring luck to You!

yay I'm glad it got to you all safe and sound.
I'm glad your hubby likes all the teas! I totally understand what you mean though, im all about my normal sweet tea and only enjoy hot tea when its really cold out (which is like 3 months out of the year) but a few years ago I realized that I can brew a few bags of tea and put that in a gallon jug throw some sugar in there and put it in the fridge for my own homemade(flavored)Sweet Tea. it's the best! it's cheaper than buying tea already made that's for sure.
I'm really glad you like the ATCs I made.. they were my first ATCs ever so they're are comparable to a practice batch of ATCs in my opinion >,<

I'm going to post some pics if thats ok

A Wire wrapped Flower inspired by her artistic style! Made from yellow/black swirly beads she sent in the stash that I didn't have pictured. Building my skills to be her apprentice

I hope that you find the recipe cards useful.. or you could use them in the next round of the chunky recipe book swap! and the wire flower you could turn into something really awesome..

Thanks again for everything! You da bomb, girl!

**oh gosh and i'm terribly sorry everyone for how big the pictures came out!!!) >.<

And ladies and gentlemen, but above all TiffanyNoelle... *drumroll*... IT'S HERE!!! I couldn't believe my own eyes. I was already mourning the loss or TiffanyNoelle's stash, when THIS VERY MORNING the postman delivered her package to me. The date on the package says it has been shipped on September the 6th - so yes, that's one month tomorrow. I suspect our mail is still being sent by boat. But anyway. Tiffany sent me SO MUCH COOL STUFF it's worth writing in capital letters. You do the math. You don't believe me? I have a pic! [URL=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/143/sstashandcraftswap.jpg/][IMG]http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/3518/sstashandcraftswap.jpg[/IMG][/URL] My craft sense is tingling and jingling and make all kinds of weird noises. I'm SO excited! So... off to craft! And as soon as I post this and things get quieter on the swap front (so many swaps going on right now!) I'll be ready to post round 2.

Thats some quality stash! Worth the wait!

bunny is with me today as i take pictures and have a major crafting session!! to make today: bracelets, halloween swap, stuffed animal, bindii's thing, bag, a peppa pig for a childs bday (need to get pink fleece though so that may wait)

I sent so much stuff lol oops! Please keep whatever u want out of it and make something amazing for your self, I'm back from vacation and I hope your package of new goodies finds u asap!

I got my crafted goodies from Nikki

She made me loads of things!!
There was a cool diamond shaped pillow, an underwater frieze, some lovely buttons & 2 cool lipbalms (The Teen immediately claimed hers [Nikki had kindly made two, knowing that would happen! lol] so it'll be missing from the picture!)
