yeah, me too.
I know where I can get a handmade apron, but it wouldn't be made by me!
Despite that, I would love to have either of you.

The one thing I was going to make oww was a black apron with Dream Theater on the front, but 1) I was sick for a month and 2) I don't remember her ever mentioning wearing an apron.
I'm at my desk, playing with my stuff, and when I pushed on the head of the cow pen, its led nostrils lit up and it made a mooing sound! haha

TOOO LATE!!
The one thing I was going to make oww was a black apron with Dream Theater on the front, but 1) I was sick for a month and 2) I don't remember her ever mentioning wearing an apron.
I was going to ask you what the thing you wanted to make was! eeeee that would have been amazing.
The only time I have worn an apron is when helping out with catering events, but I frequently refer to my older slouch-around-the-house t shirts as my 'aprons' because every weekend they get covered in flour and garlic and other cooking/baking related detritus.
Also:
SARAH YOU ARE A LEGEND. That is an amazing looking package, so fun and so you! HH is lucky as, and I hope to hear stories of night-time knitting escapades in a tiger hat and groucho glasses.
That is all.
Okay, so I thought llg would be my person because she guaranteed me a package and I thought that the only way a person could guarantee something is if they did it themselves. But, she gave me to the ever reliable gift-giver uS!
Bwhahaha! I'm just super sneaky and I coordinated with uS when I assigned you to her as I knew knew knew she'd be fabulous!! :)
Ok.... so, just the following people still need to receive packages (excluding myself & L2A):
faunablues
underSARAH
Cali
I'm pretty sure that I've read that these packages have recently (or will soon) go out. If you have one of these people, please email me to verify so I know that everyone will be getting a package full of awesome this exchange! Thanks! (I will be sending emails to follow up as well).
I received my package today from..... CORRINA!!!!!!
It was so great. And HUGE!!! Exactly what I needed to see leaning against my garage this afternoon.

And here is Gryphin and Baby checking out the catnip toy. He was batting it around and it landed at her feet. Unfortunately she doesnt understand playing and just sniffed snootily and walked away. Gryphy on the other hand played with it a bit then we played with the fishing toy for 30 minutes!!!

yaaaah Cali, that's awesome!
I can't get over how amazing everyone's packages have been.
This exchange has been a total mood-lifter all round : )
Everyone's packages look amazing! Plus the one I recieved rocked out loud. I hope my person enjoyed their's and I can't wait for the next exchange!
Awesome package, Corinnas! Very awesome. Love it. ;)b
I'm so anxious waiting for mine now that the one I mailed has arrived. haha. And pretty freaking excited.
I'm telling people right now, for next exchange... I want a homemade apron! :)>>> ;D
Cali makes beautiful aprons!!!!
Cali,
I am so gald you liked the package...as like everyone else I was nervous. And let me say, yours will be my LAST attempt at making jewelry! Twice, while I was making that all of the beads fell off and onto mu carpet! Then the neclace went missing!!! That is why it is a little late. I finally got my daughter to admit that she knew where it was.
Apparently she wanted to try it on, and she broke the clasp...she was afraid to tell me. But all is good, I just re-strung it again. BUT I don't think I have the jewelry making gift ;)
Anyway, I am so happy you like everything...and P.S. the little animal bands are bracelets! Yay!
Oh and nmpixie, I will post pics of my awesome stuff tommorow....minus the muffins that I already ate. Sorry :)
Nice package corinna! Yay, Cali!
Corrina, I just wanted to let you know that the kitty fishing toy is the most fabulous thing ever! We play with it 30 to 60 minutes a day! Which going from no toys to a favorite is a huge change. hahah
Thank you so very very much! Gryphy loves it so.
YAY!! I got a package today (well, technically yesterday) from L2A!! :) I was able to successfully extract it out of my building's horrendous package room! Everything is in the theme of Earth Day and it's all fantastic! ;)b
This is everything minus the shirts:

I've actually said this to people!! And I love the color orange, but I normally don't tell people because there are some hideous shades of orange out there, but this is a nice soft orange.

Things that I enjoy eating too much of: chocolate, peanut butter, cookies. L2A has me covered on all 3 fronts! She even threw in some fruit for my health.

Even though I didn't get to sign up for the ATC swap (due to a looming cross country move).... L2A sensed my disappointment and I got:

How. Freaking. Cool. Is. This. Notice I stated every word and didn't use a question mark... because we all already know the answer.
