calico & co birthday swap.....

Now that my swap partner, the gorgeous Lisa from Eme Creations, has received her package in the post I can share what I sent to her with you all.....


This is a photo that Lisa took of her goodies, I am ashamed to say that I didn't take a photo before I sent the package and also that I made a very half hearted attempt at wrapping my gift - it was one of those weeks.....

So the gifts were:

Pin cushions from Jen at Hankypanky Handkerchiefs, I have bought a few of these gorgeous pin cushion sets from Jen. They are great!

Mug Hugger from BoutiqueKarma - I love my Mug Hugger I use it numerous times throughout the day.

Vintage Sheet Music cover brads by yours truly!

So glad you love all your goodies Lisa! You can check out Lisa's Blog here.

I was excited to see the Postman wandering in my front gate with an arm load of parcels yesterday morning! Amongst some very exciting things was my Calico & Co Stationery Swap parcel from the loverly Cat.


Note - Cat I had to steal your photo from the Flickr group because I was so excited I ripped the wrapping off before a photo could be taken!!

Inside the gorgeous wrapping was the cutest set of Kikki K Stamps! Now either Cat and I are on the same wave length or she did some good researching and saw that I have a bit of a thing for stamps at the moment!




Thanks Cat! I love them!
