I got mine yesterday :D

Crystal Rose sent me a beautiful Portal -Journey crossover stitching, and some really cute Portal earrings and a Companion cube necklace charm :) She also included some postcardds of Melbourne, and some very tasty looking recipes which I will have to try out. Turns out we had the same first cookbook - I still make things from it too! Though I left it at my parernts house, so its good to have the cookie recipe back :)

All of it :)

I got a magnetic needle case, and a Katamari dried lavendar/orange blossom pillow/sachet. Such a cute idea, and it smells amazing!!

Thank you so much! I love it; I may just keep it here on the arm of my chair so it can relax me while I'm stitching ^_^

At 8.30am today, a guy in a high-vis jacket came jogging up my driveway. He dropped off a squarish package at the front door.. and I opened it and found a huge amount of awesome inside.
Thankyou *so* much, Pyper! I lobe it all so incredibly hard! :D

I got a Luke Cubone vs Darth Marowak cross stitch - Poke Wars! :D I'm waiting for the hook I got to set - it's one of those 3M ones,then it's onto the wall above my desk!
Also a set of frankly, awesome pokeball coasters. They're in use already!
Working on:

I hope you like it! It was rough trying to think of things that were useful AND within the size restriction!

My mother-in-law told me that if you put it in the microwave with a cup of water beside of it, then it feels really nice on your muscles... I think I need to make me one now :) I hope you enjoy it and you get some well deserved relaxation from it!

Not going to lie, I feel the same, that my swappie got the lame gift (and this isn't even my first swap) :/ I was late my first swap and with 18 credits in college this semester, I didn't want to put it off and have it be late again. I'm sure it's fine though. I mean, my swappie never sent me anything along the lines of "is this it?" :P

I know for me, just getting something that someone else made specifically for me is awesome, no matter the size or quality! So to both you and me, we're still awesome :)
