See all the goodies I got for my second swap, with Elizabeth of Gracefruit?! I believe I asked for 3 bars of soap and a Wattle Balm, but she added another bar of soap, a Nail & Cuticle Stick (which I flaked out and forgot to put in the photo), AND, to my children's utter and absolute delight, a package of vanilla fudge...from Scotland!! Elizabeth, I'm happy to report, received my handmade paper notecards last week and liked them as much as I liked her products!
Well, I want to go on and on about how beautifully her soaps are wrapped and how heavenly they smell, but having spent all morning doing ceramics, I now have to catch up on floors to vacuum and mop, hot dog buns to make, laundry to do, and a book (actually, about 20 of them) to read, so much run for now. Happy Wednesday to all!

I'm jealous of everything you do. Man. I wish I was creative like you!
WOW! Look at all those wonderful goodies from Elizabeth! And fudge too~ extra yummmmmm.....
AND OH....YEAH my granddaughter's package came today!!! It was a BIG BIG HIT!!! My 1st grade daughter was getting her homework done so she could use the "skull" soaps! They LOVED everything...and the extra candy was really such a special touch...We can't thank you and of course the soap master DS#1-great job. My daughter promised to take a pic with the girls for me to show you...
Hugs,
Carrie
Wow! Nice looking goodies! I love all the new things I've found through blogging = )
Thanks, Julie! Actually, I'm not half as creative as most people who visit here. And you are far more creative than you let on.
Carrie-Gigi, YAY!!! *happy dance* I really was getting worried. Luckily, the other pkgs I sent out didn't seem to take as long. Can't wait to see a pic! Your granddaughters are so photogenic!
Heidi, me too! :)
What a lovely swap! I'm jealous you got so many wonderful things.
I love my handmade cards. Love them! I'll post some photos in my blog once we're unpacked and a bit more settled.
Thank you again for the fabulous swap!
xx
Jewelstreet - thanks for dropping by! I was totally thrilled too!
Gracefruit, I'm happy that you're happy! I thank you back heartily!!
Wow...you really know how to work the swap!
Oh..those look awesome...Fudge from Scotland...I'm so jealous. I really need to learn how to make my own soap...everything you make or get looks so yummy. :-)
Suzanne, I just lucked out, I think. :) And, soapers tend to be a lovely, generous lot.
Stace, I've been hoarding most of the fudge myself (telling the kids they shouldn't eat too much candy...heehee). Well, you make amazing costumes/clothes! So, anytime you want to make me a Marie Antoinette outfit, we'll do a swap! LOL!
Bartering, that's the way to go, and what lovely things you got back in return. You've got some really cool people stopping by at your site.
I hope your fudge didn't taste soapy!! " )
