I've been participating in two craft swaps this fall. In retrospect, I think I underestimated how much these exams would take out of me, and joining two swaps might not have been the best idea. On the positive side, I am going to finish by the send dates of both (just barely, but I am determined that I WILL get my packages out on time). Furthermore, my entire week was made by the arrival of my first package! This came from
Two Cheese Please, who is my partner for the fall round of the Craftster Invite Your Partner swap. She made me the most fantastic and amazing gifts! I had requested a hand carved stamp, and wow, did she deliver or what! The carving on this is unbelievable. She also made me a lovely journal cover and pen holder (both of which will get a TON of use), an adorable spool doll wrapped in hand-stamped linen tape, and a sweet little drawstring bag. Everything is beautifully made; I just love it all. Lucky, lucky me!

For detail shots and more information, my Craftster post about the package is

Have you gotten anything fun in the mail lately?
