Wow, it got to you already? I'm impressed! I hope the rest of the goodies I sent to Australia arrive as quickly! Your flosses are gorgeous, and I can see some really neat possibilities for the chart from Pennie.
Paula - I'm still stunned! Its such a gorgeous design - I never expected anything of that magnitude during this swap!! Wow - its absolutely gorgeous - thank you thank you thank you!
I love every single one of them !!! I'm such a lucky girl this year !!!!!
Not only do I get all of this loot :) I also get to sit back and wait and hear how you all like the loot I sent you :)
God I love Christmas - I adore the looks on faces when I've got them just the right present, and their faces glow ... {sigh} warms the cockles of this Scrooges heart !!!!
Bah - what am I talking about - I spend far far farrrrr too much money to ever be called a scrooge :)
I love playing with colors and such on ornies - plus there's the immediate gratification aspect. If I can stick to my plan, I'll have more for swaps next year :). But I'va also played with colors and such a bit recently for ones that aren't Christmas-y and we're doing the birthday thing, so who knows what might happen? [VBG] I'm glad you like it - that was actually my very first attempt at making my own cording!
Well you did a fantastic job !!!!! And between you, Claire and Tracy you've got me interested in ornaments now. I've never stitched any, never saw the point really ... but now I have my own tree -and my first stitched ornament - well every time I open a card and a new floss falls out I;m thinking - oooh I could stitch an ornament out of this - one of Tracy's motifs would work with this colour .....
Actually that was pretty accidental :) I just put them down on the scanner bed, made sure they weren't overlapping and then herded them together a little ....
Uh - yeah - sure!! That was exactly my intent! ROFL Hadn't thought of it that way, but I'd think that should buy me just a little bit of a grace period!
That's a lovely haul, Mel! Congrats on all the lovely goodies! I don't know about you, but I'm having just as much fun plotting and scheming on how to use the lovely gifts I received :).
