Nope, sorry, not yet. It takes a while to get to Australia though, so dont worry. I just mailed mine out yesterday. :3

Hayley, I received your package yesterday! And OMG, I love everything in it!!! It was wrapped so nicely too. Thanks so much! :3
She made me a very stylish lace choker, some ruffle tie-on cuffs and a really cute top hat ring.

Nope Happy

I forgot to update the thread because I was in a rush, but yours went out safely on Tuesday. We had a big national strike on Wednesday so I hope it's not delayed, but it should be with you in a couple of weeks, tops.

So, I finally got Mary's! Happy here is what she sent me.
I revamped the canary gold button Mary and glued lace on top of it! I have always wanted a ring that had the lace over it, so I did that Happy

I love the rings the most! and I am probably putting the red charm onto black velvet for the choker, just because I really don't wear white necklaces so much!

Everything is great, and how cool is it that you used some lace your grandmother gave you? Happy

I got it today! Too dark to take pictures right now, but I love everything, thanks Happy

I got a brooch, a chocker, earrings and a Victorian box and I love everything, especially the box's smell! It smells like resin, which is one of my favourite smells (I know, I'm weird) ^___^°°°

OF COURSE I got the measurements for the chocker wrong... damn you, conversions! I'll have to snip an inch or so off both sides, but I'm wearing it no matter what. Thanks!

That was a lovely swap, thank you! Love the lace you glued on the ring, wish I'd come up with that.

Wait a sec... what about the earrings?! There were supposed to be earrings in there O___O°°°

oh it isn't weird! I love the way resin smells as well! I was concerned that the box wouldn't make it in one piece! Yeah I am still new to making chokers, I have never really made one from lace so it was my fault on making it too large I am sure, hopefully you can re-size it. I tried making that lace rose in the middle look much better, but I had never made one, so I hope it is ok!

oh yeah, I have seen the lace covered rings before, and when I saw it, I was like, "yes!" so thank you for sending it!

yep! oops! the earrings! haha they were already in my jewelry bo by the time I took this pic, that is why they aren't in the pic! I totally forgot! but they made it!

i wore the pearl like button ring last night!

My package from Sandy arrived today! She sent me, a lovely silhouette/doily hand mirror, a drop style necklace, the chain is very short so it looks like a dainty little choker when worn, also cute little pouch! I love the combination on black fabric and white lace, looks awesome! I also got some black dangly earrings which I will be wearing all the time, so my style! And a couple of hair clips made from embroidered buttons- Thanks for a great swap Sandy!

Oh I also got some stash- the fabric that is laid out in the below pictures is from sandy and in the second picture you can see she sent me woodland stickers and some lovely beads and embellishments, all of a woodland kind of theme ^__^ LOVE.
