Swapoween & Stitching Progress

So, I've signed up for another exchange with the Chaotic Goddesses! I'm looking forward to this one too. And a Halloween swap seemed like an appropriate post to share my Chat Noir progress:

I'm about halfway done with the cat itself. Hopefully I'll be working on the border the next time I post a progress update! There should be an update on my SAL piece and La FLeur in the next day or two.

Local Flavor Swap Show-Off

So, my partner for the Local Flavor Swap was Lennette from Florida. I received her box yesterday and it has some really cool stuff as you can see in the picture here:

I love it all, but the magnets may be my favorite thing! I don't remember if I told her about my magnet obsession, but I do love them. I should post a picture of my fridge one of these days so you can all see my ridiculous collection. I'm looking forward to trying that honey too. The chocolate bar melted in transit- darn summer heat!- but I'm sure it will still taste good. I also know just who to send that beautiful card to.

Anyway, many thanks to the lovely ladies at the Chaotic Goddess blog swaps for letting me play, and Lennette for being a great swap partner!

Ooops, I Did It Again

I checked the Chaotic Goddesses page and found another exchange to join. They're not the sponsors of this one, but I think it's cool that they let their followers know about other programs running. I hope I get accepted into this one- I found it at the very last minute, so the registration may have closed- because I *LOVE* Etsy!

Chaotic Goddess Swaps- Local Flavor

I've signed up for another swap! These have been a LOT of fun and I'm so glad I stumbled across them. Still kicking myself for missing the Favorite Color swap, but I can do a lot with this one.

Books & Bloggers Swap Reveal

I can't believe I almost forgot to post this! My partner, Tula, sent me some great looking books.

Apologies for the picture quality. Photography is not my best skill. Not pictured are the candy bar & Starbucks card that Tula generously included. Those were used almost immediately!

Anyway, it was a great exchange & I'm looking forward to doing another one sometime!

Books & Bloggers Book Swap!

Signed up for another exchange since the last one was so much fun!

Mug of Comfort Exchange Reveal

So, Melissa did a wonderful job with the care package she sent me! Both of us were having a rough patch during the exchange, so we didn't get to know each other as well as I think we would have liked, but I also believe we plan on staying in touch. Despite that, she sent me a lovely stoneware mug without any idea that I *LOVE* stoneware. I'm looking forward to trying the teas- my parents snitched some of them before I could object, but that's fair since I bogarted the 3 cheese steaks we brought back from the Philly Deli. And it will teach me not to show them goodies I get unless it's via photograph! I've already enjoyed the cider- we had a freak winter blast again this week, no snow but it was cold enough for the cider and some cocoa!

I'm very pleased with how this exchange went. I'd like to thank the hosts for allowing me to participate and hope to do another one soon. Especially now that I've *FINALLY* figured out how to upload pictures to the blog!

Oh, and if you're curious to see what I sent to Melissa, go here!

Mug of Comfort Exchange!

Well, I threw caution to the wind and signed up to participate in another exchange. This looks like a lot of fun and I hope everyone plays nicely, unlike others I have been a part of!
