Kathy, you are welcome! Don't worry about being late, spring comes late to my neck of the woods anyhoo!

Hey there Deb, the package finally came, those rural mailmen are a bit slow. But the items in the carton were wonderful. The tea infuser with the tea cup on the end was great, and the tea bag to go along with it was great, have a dear friend that suffers the effects of breat cancer and support the cause, the silk ribbon was so great since I do silk ribbon embroidery, the "MEOW" ribbon for scrapbooking was great (we had a huge cat that gets in pic, a lot), the threads and the chlt, can't forget that (shared with hubby and grandson), the scarf holder was so great just got a scarf that was made all from beads and it will go great with that. And the bubbles were great.
What a great carton, whimsy and practical all combined to make one great surprise.
Thanks bunches,
Jennifer

I got my egg carton today from Luanne!!!! When I got home it was on my porch. I was so excited. She had it wrapped in a pretty placemat. There were the cutest socks, daisy buttons, pink flower earrings, a smelly good candle, a cute little tiny quilted potholder keychain, a little yo yo cup thing, darn, I can't think what they are called that you put cups on. Anyway, it's so pretty. Did you make that? And candy! I hope I didn't forget anything. I love it all. Thank you so much. The wait is over. It is here. I really had fun with this swap.

Hi Kristin!
I'm so glad you liked everything. The cup coaster is made from hand made yo-yo's. You can also use it for a tiny candle mat. I didn't make it or the key chain, but they are made by Amish ladies in Lancaster County, PA.
I really enjoyed this swap too - maybe we can do another one soon!

I'm glad you liked it! Those dolls are actually from South America, Chile, where I grew up. I had a hard time deciding what to get you, since I didn't know what your hobbies, likes and dislikes are. In my case, you can't go wrong with quilting or sewing stuff. Regards,
Monica

Hi Barb
I got my egg carton today and I am tickled to death actually, not death, life. I loved the chicken whose head and tail bobs. He is a very handsome rooster. and the little yellow chick awesome. We have a few of those running around here right now. The pin cushion, loved it, already put pins in it. Did you make it yourself? I am going to have my girl's group do that for mother's day gifts. I can't wait for you to get your egg carton. It should be there soon. Something happened at the post office and the first one got smashed. I salvaged most everything and put it in a new one, which has been FedExed. They said 5 days and I sent it on Tuesday. This was such a fun thing. I loved everything in my carton. I am eggstatic and I agree with Catgirl I think we should do it again.

Maybe we could do a "summer is coming" swap?? And then a "fall is coming, too" swap? And then there's winter....

Kathy C,
I got my egg carton of goodies today! Thanks so much, everything is just wonderful. Could not have come on a better day. I was feeling a little down today, seems some of my long time girlfriends just don't "get" me. You surely cheered me up!
Inside the carton is a hand-made soap that smells wonderful, some bath salts, a cute magnet with my last name on it, a beautiful red glass pendant with a tree soldered on it, some post its, cute little candles, a red gem, some flower stickers, some cute book marks that her daughter wrote quotes on, a tiny nest of chicks, and some Oxalis bulbs...one of my favorites. Thanks so much Kathy, I will think of you as I am enjoying my goodies. This swap has been real fun.
