I'll get some pictures of all the awesomeness up soon, but it may have to wait until tomorrow because my camera doesn't handle the dark very well..
I'm really happy that you like everything!!! I was kind worried/apprehensive about your reaction especially because I sent you some weird stuff like the old photos and used postcards, probably you think I'm nuts. :tomato:

This is the awesome set of gifts I got from Caslzelda :grin:

All folded up and everything it sort of comes close to the size restrictions :P Some detail on the items:

A Portal grocery bag! She used spray paint to make it and it is so neatly done! When I saw it I was so happy I still had some grocery shopping to do, so I could use it straight away :nod

The lyrics of Phoebe Buffay's most famous song! I'm a huge fan of Friends (I got the cmplete DVD box and watched all the episodes so many times..) I love the illustration and the font. I put it in a frame as soon as I could. I might get one that is a bit bigger to do it proper justice, but at least I can already put it up on the wall now!

A perler bead Pikmin! I just love this little guy, I put him on a shelf in the living room where he seems to be looking for some nice items to bring back to the spaceship.

She also included a very cool (sparkly!) bracelet she made as a Christmas present try-out. I think it's very nice so that experiment was succesful. And to top it all off a big selection of old used postcards from Portugal, with actual Portuguese writing on the back. Of course I don't understand a word of it, but that's part of the charm. Maybe I'll ask my Portuguese colleague (who is actually from Porto!) to translate. And there are even a few old holiday pictures of misterious strangers to give me a sneak peak into someone elses life. All in all very awesome! Thank you so much Caslzelda!

Just finished my three piece set. They are soaking a bit now to get them clean and I'll set them out to dry tomorrow! Hopefully I can have them in the mail by mid-week! :)

I hope my swapee likes them!

Finally came up with a great idea for part #1 and finished most of it yesterday. Haven't done anything quite like this either, so it should be interesting.

When my Swapee sends out my gift, would you do me a favor and ask BMH to let me know to watch out for a package? I love surprises and I LOVE being surprised by the package at the door but recently the UPS AND mail person have both been leaving my packages at another house and when I don't catch it right away they TAKE the packages! :mad:

Oh, I would be so upset if I lost my packages due to wrong delivery. They would be hearing from me as well as the neighbors.

In other news, I received most of my supplies on Friday, and I have most of it done. The last piece was delivered today, so hoping to finish this up by the weekend and get it sent out next week.

I've had to put my swap project on pause for the past couple weeks in favor of a wedding quilt that needed to be complete for this Saturday. Good news is, it's done! Once the wedding has passed, I should be able to continue picking away at the swap piece. :)
