Mermaid Swap items received!
So I've been very anxiously awaiting the arrival of my Mermaid and Seaside Inspired Swap items! Ever since I heard they were on their way, I've been going crazy with anticipation! :-)
I had the day off today and ran a few errands this morning. When I got home, as I was pulling into the driveway, I spied a package on my doorstep. SKIP went my heart! I just knew it had to a package from my swap partner Michele Witchell! And sure enough, it was!
I very calmly and gently opened the box...NOT! I tore that puppy open! :-) Once it was open, though, I did manage to regain my composure. Mainly because when I saw this sight...
...I knew was going to want to savor this package...just like Christmas morning!
As I moved aside the gorgeous crepe paper and kelpy items, I could see there were SEVERAL tissued-wrapped bundles! I thought to myself, "OH BOY...Michele spoiled me!" And that...she did...everything is fabulous!
Rather than narrate, I'll just let the photos do the talkin'...
Isn't this bottle just fabulous??? SO lovely lovely! It's just all gorgeous gorgeous stuff. EXACTLY the kind of stuff I was hoping to get for my Mermaid Journal!
I'm SO happy with this Mermaid and Seaside Inspired Collection! Thank you Michele!
And while we're here...I have just a few pictures of the goodies I sent to Michele. I really didn't take very many but here's some more treats for your peepers...
If you would like to see STILL MORE eye candy, be sure to pop over to the swap's Flickr site.
I am so over the moon happy with how this swap has turned out! SO MUCH gorgeous stuff has been gathered, created, and exchanged. Every time I check out the Flickr site, I just get all giddy! Gorgeous gorgeous stuff. I just want to keep looking at everyone's pictures over and over!
Thank you again to ALL the participants for making this such a fabulous and memorable experience for me!!!! YOU have made this very special for me. Hugs to you all!!!
You two mermaids certainly did well for each other. Maybe because you both have 'shell' in your names? You might have to convert your upstairs linen closet into a treasure room :)
