WOW! Thanks Heather

Thank you so much Heather. We received your parcel today and are just.. thrilled!

My daughter doesn't even realise there is a second handbag for her, she took that cradle purse and went crazy with it! She's totally in love with the cradle purse and the tiny doll inside, which I much say is super cute! I think for now I will put the second purse aside and save it for when she deserves a new present.

The bookmarks are simply gorgeous!! I have never seen a bookmark as large as the pineapple one. The beads on both are perfect finishing touches. I can tell you have a lot of pride in your work. I love all the other trinkets too. The pins will be great keepsakes for my daughter, and she is so curious about to tooth fairy pillow, only I am not ready to tell her her teeth will fall out in a few years!! lol I am sure the pin cushion will be used often and the magnet is so sweet! I just love what it says on the back about Trolls, as though they're just the average creature you'll see roaming the hillsides in Norway. It's fantastic you've had designs published in Crochet World and I truly hope your trinket box is accepted. It was such a joy to study it and see how you'd made it. What a chubby little kitty you're going to have so you an steal the sardine tins!! My nanna (gran) has already stolen the novel to read as she is an avid crime reader, and when I took my items to show her she asked if she could read it as she'd just finished one and needed another.

I am waiting in anticipation until such time as your package arrives. Hopefully it will be soon! I think you will have a little chuckle when you see some of what I made you. I have had so much fun in my first swap and look forward to meeting another of the lovely ladies here very soon. Take care all, Shell xxx

Hey Heather

Seems we have quite a bit in common. The isolation, the lack of patience etc :)I kept seeing the cradle purses and saying "one day"! I am sure we all do that. Jessi would have probably never got one if it weren't for you, and it's nice to see how much she loves it. Kids these days are too materialistic and I try not to let Jess go that way. I wish your package would hurry up and get to you... That's my fault I know lol

Take care

LOL! thanks for the encouragement Shell! I appreciate it! :)
The postal service should appreciate those of us who participate in swaps, by getting our packages there on time! lol They were worried the internet would harm their profit, but I think we have increased it!!!
Have a good day!

Hey Heather

We're well thanks! Sounds awesome where you live right now. It gets cold here but nothing like that. Unfortunately it is getting rather hot here at the moment, and as such Jessi's eczema is breaking out all over. Poor babe. But she is still happy enough.

I just hope your package arrives. A) cos it's for you and B) cos I put a lot of money into it! lol. It certainly has been a good learning experience. I just joined the Crochetville Holiday Swap so I know now what NOT to do!! lol. Oh, and I started a blog about my crafts. You can find it at http://shell-n-jessi.blogspot.com/ I only started it yesterday but I have tried to add a few posts all at once so it doesn't look empty!!

Thanks for your patience with this whole package thing. You're doing better than me! I check here every day to see if it has finally arrived.. Soon I hope.. Take care Heather (and everyone else).
