"Brown paper packages, tied up with string..."

Well, my first few items from the Craft Swap have arrived... so exciting getting home to little parcels with no idea who they're from or whats inside, its like Christmas has come early! 

First I recieved this gorgeous knitted cupcake from CupcakeJoJo, the box was wrapped in brown paper, tied with twine and inside the little cupcake was wrapped in pink tissue and ribbon... so sweet and now he takes pride of place on my desk :)  thank you Jo x

My second item was from Katie Holland, she made a beautiful passport cover for me in Amy Butler fabric, awww its lovely, really, I couldn't be happier!!  Again this was beautifully packaged with tissue and ribbon and a little card.  Im so glad I took part in this swap, its great to see other peoples crafts and their attention to detail has blown me away, right down to the personal touches and packaging.... its like belonging to one big happy crafting family :)

thank you everyone!!

Her illustrations are just gorgeous, I got 3 of her chickens, they are such quirky little guys and I cant wait to get them framed....I know just the spot!!
