APR-JUN: Big Swap!

[caslzelda]

JUST GOT MY PACKAGE! Thank you Caslzelda! I love all the goodies!!! My camera is currently in a box in the garage so as soon as I can get my hands on it pictures will be posted.

I hope you really liked everything! I was... well I am very anxious about if you liked or not the gifts?!
And just one thing, was my little research alright? Or was it a complete "face palm"?

[shanoa]

So yesterday I did this because my swap package arrived from the talented Merrywether!

Inside was an awesome variety of stuff so big that I had to take two group shots to get it all!

Spoiler

Both group shots smooshed together!

I love the colors in this! I never got to play Link's Awakening in color.

I absolutely love everything! My mom was in awe of the quantity/quality of the work. She's been hearing me talk about the big swap for months and now she understands why I was so excited about it. lol Thank you so much, Merrywether![/color]

Wow! That was fast, I just mailed it on Saturday. The post office told me Thursday, so I hadn't even checked the tracking number yet, lol. I am so glad you like everything! I had a lot of fun stitching them!

I loved it all Caslzelda! No face palms here; your research was perfect! I just got my Masters in ME last May and start my new job at the end of the month.

So I couldn't find my camera in the mess I currently call my garage so I had to use my phone. Actually it sometimes takes better pictures anyway.

First all of the goodies together.

A Big Key keychain

Spoiler

My favorite "big key" or master key design

A Doctor Who Sticky-Note Holder

Spoiler

This is going on my fridge as soon as I get to the new place!

A personalized Harry Potter towel

Spoiler

When I finally got to this piece I was stunned. Not just an awesome Harry Potter towel but PERSONALIZED too! Plus I am moving soon so Yay to more decor for the new place!

A Hyrule Crest pillow cover

Spoiler

My jaw dropped when I saw this. Unfortunately, I don't have a pillow this size and my laptop is too big but I love your idea to keep the Wii motes and accessories in here or I may go out and buy a pillow for this so I can keep it on my couch.

An Integral bookmark

Spoiler

Lets hear it for Facebook stalking! Mechanical Engineers unite!!!

A Green Mushroom

Spoiler

A set of framed Portal stitches

Spoiler

I think this may be my favorite item in the lot. So simple and yet so awesome; I just love the creativity and the idea in general. I am going to have fun finding a spot for these in my new place.

A Yoshi tissue holder

Spoiler

LoL Stupid Mario!

And some souvenirs from Portugal

Spoiler

The postcard is a scene from Oporto, Portugal
The bookmark is Fernando Pessoa, one of the brightest writers in the world.
And the figurine is a Galo de Barcelos.

Overall I love everything I got. Thanks Castlzelda! I'm just sad that I have to put them back in a box soon for the move...

[blackmageheart]

Wow, you really got a lot of things! Amazing stuff, all of it!

I'm really sorry to say mine is still not mailed out - it's all finished but I've got a) a box problem (as in lack of box that's big enough) and b) my daughter's been a little bit unwell so I haven't been able to escape the house. And tomorrow the Post Office is only open in the morning! Which means, daughter permitting, a mad dash to the village centre!
I'll do my best to get it out as soon as possible, hope my swappie is ok with that!

And to everyone else who's late, don't panic! Just do your best to get it out when you can. As long as I know about it, it's all good

[$n0wflake]

Wow! You two both got amazing gifts! Great job and so creative for the creators!

[tnitnetny]

That is some awesome amazing stuff! I can honestly say I haven't seen anything I would not be overjoyed to get. I am driving home tomorrow so will be back in town to wait anxiously for my package.

[Ally]

Wow, those are some incredible gifts!

[BooChocoBoom]

I got mine! I got mine! *dances*

THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU Starrley!!!!

This couldn't have come at a better time - I really needed some cheering up.

I got a gorgeous embroidery of the "Ello" Worm from Labyrinth, a sprite stitch felt needle book, a Boo Choco Boom necklace and, of course, some Texas swag (the magnet proving that everything IS bigger in Texas).

Overall:

Spoiler

Needle book (I really really needed one as I constantly find myself looking for somewhere to put my needles wherein the kitties won't get them) and necklace:

Spoiler

Worm! (I love the ribbon around the edge of the hoop - very nice touch):

Spoiler

To my partner, fear not, it is coming soon! I hit a bit of a low spot (we had a death in the family last weekend) but this totally cheered me up and I'm moving along again.

Edit: To Starrley - as you alluded to in your note - it's ok there are no zombies. They are an acquired taste (pun intended). LOL
