YAY !!! I received my package this morning, I was sooooo excited !!! I had to wait till tonight to tell you and post some pictures, since I had to go to see my family :yahoo:
My mysterious swapee was LOXDUST !! Thanks a lot, Loxdust ! Your items are on my blog !
Here are my presents :

Image
Super Meat Boy amigurumis !!! So cute with their button-eyes, and with the little flower on the lady's head !

Image
A Day of the Tentacle haind-painted bag ! Well done, it's one of my favorite games ever (and I put a lot of games in my list ^^ not ONLY Lucas Arts ones !)

Image
A photo frame (pele-mele in french, I don't know how you call that in english) ; unfortunately it has been broken during its travel :sorry: I'll try to fix it !!!)

Image
And finally, delicious cookies (speculoos ! cinnamon flavour) and these famous "sea food" chocolate that I love a lot (I know them very well Loxdust, we are almost neighbors !!)

Thank you for your presents, very nice, you did a great job, especially with the little meat team and the bag ! :clapping: :clapping: :clapping:

And now I'm really nervous about not receiving any news from the package I sent 18 days ago (they told me 10 - 11 days for it to be received)... :club: what are you doing, postmen ???

We just call that a multiple photo frame! Although if I remember right, pele-mele also means jumbled or mixed up or chaotic? My French isn't so good anymore XD

Also, I want the chocolate seashells...I haven't had any of those for a long time! :D

All very lovely items! Especially like the bag. Very nice.

I know my swappee has received hers, just hasn't posted, yet.

I'm getting anxious about mine. Maybe BMH can look into it? I do live in an apartment and I haven't had any issues to speak of, but I always worry.

I will certainly look into it.

If anyone else wants me to find out about their parcels (whether it's the one you sent or the one you're waiting for), just say so and I will be happy to get my poking stick out. :D

I hate to say this, but I still have not been able to send my gifts out. Not only have I had trouble finishing them, but now because of having very little money I won't be able to send anything until the end of the month...

HOWEVER... I during this extra time I have come up with what I think is the most absolute perfect way of delivering my gifts, and I think my swap partner will love it! Please don't hate me for being late, I promise I am making up for it!
Current Projects: Crocheting stuff, writing letters, cross stitching stuff oh, and making beer!

On thursday I found out that Linkismyhomeboy was my swap partner!
She did a superly fantastic job with everything.. Infact I'm quite envious of her wonderful stitching skills!

Everything was packaged separately with special notes attached to each of them! plus a card was included!

She made a couple of super cute keychains!
Image

The name one will soon go on a set of keys not pictured. The Yoshi egg is cross stitched on both sides! and will now keep my shaymin company! =D

Next, Kanto badge magnets!! They will forever live on my dishwasher.. forever.. and ever.. and ever!
Image

this next one is a happy coincidence as I had been eyeballing a few owl items lately.. You totally read my mind =)
Image

this is the coolest biscornu ever.. and it fits perfectly in the container I take with me to do cross stitching on the go!
Image

all together:
Image
the mario star had the yoshi egg in it with the cutest note about the egg hatching out of it hehehe
I forgot to take a picture of popcorn that she got from her parent's garden.. but thanks for that too (we were planning on eating it tonight!)

Thanks so much! you out did yourself! =D
