June YOE swap goodies


Box of goodies


Kim was my June partner for the YOE swap. Unfortunately her mailman wanted to join in and "misplaced" the package she sent me. Eventually they tracked it down and it finally made it to me.

A fun box of goodies was waiting for me when I got home from my most recent MRI/arthogram. It was a great thing to come home to after a long day of being tortured. Even the box is fun!



Our theme was Gnomes. I think of these like the Hansel and Gretel of the Gnome world. They even have a nice tree home to live in.


Gingerbread people doilies


Snowman pine cone ornament and painted pine cones



ribbon, beads, and buttons


train ornament, cork bottle caps, and curling ribbon


scrapbook signs


some kind of cards (I think)


Teeny, tiny adorable crocheted Mr. and Mrs. Claus. I know alot of work went into these. The thread is so thin and the crochet hooks are teeny, tiny.


and a fun apron. I think the universe is trying to tell me that I need aprons because Kim is the second person to send me an apron.

What a wonderful gift. All the gnome themed items are great. The cards, by the way, are from the kids game 'Authors', or as we called it when I was a child, ' Arthurs'. Those look just like the ones we had.
