OH MY GODDESS

*dies*

Everything comatosegrl did is fantastic, but the Frost / SMW pairing is beyond priceless.

And holy crap, Gallifreyan is seriously a language? I didn't realize it was translatable! Google, here I come!

OMGOMGOMGOMG..... :mail: :banana :hug:
There are not enough emoticons in all the internets to convey the way I feel! :yahoo:
I got my swap gifts from none other than.... drumroll... blackmageheart! I saw that the package was from Great Britain and I was thrilled!
If I can stop eating chocolate and drinking tea, I can upload the pics... :grin:
Firstly, here is a fabulous group shot.

I got the most amazing Harvest Moon display set that you can possibly imagine. Everything is stitched! The time that must have gone into this is mind-boggling. Here is a closeup.

And a side/back view.

Not only is everything stitched on BOTH sides, she also made the little plots of land 3D so that the fruits and vegetables can stand up. The 3D house is soooo cute. Jack, the cow, the chickens, the chicks, the duck, and the ducklings are all attached to pence coins, which throws in some international flair. :grin:
Okay, you've got to see a closeup of the base.
Spoiler

This must have taken flipping forever. Thank you soooooooooooo much! It's so cool that everything is removable.
But wait, there's more!
Spoiler
Image
She stitched all my favorite Pokemon!!! :pika (Piplup, Turtwig, Squirtle, Slowpoke, Bellossom, Pikachu, Chikorita, Wooper, Celebi, and Raichu. I'm a sucker for cuteness.)
AND...
Spoiler
Image
An awesome nod to TNG! This is so cute. And there's really earl grey tea inside! I'm seriously drinking some right now. :nod Oh, Jean Luc...
And snacktime isn't over. She also included a wonderful Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate bar. *drool* This is so delicious...
And last, but not least, TWO awesome cards! A fantastic Mucha style Erika (and Mucha is my favorite artist!) and an adorable card that I'm guessing is from BMH's little one. :D
Spoiler
Image
I am completely and utterly blown away. Thank you so, so much!!! :hug:
BMH is the bee's knees! :BM
