Fall Swap Thanks...Makalani

Makalani...sorry this is finally going up...I posted under your preview and than was going to put up a pic and totally spaced it! I loved everything. The Spooky and Autumn blocks were adorable with the pumpkin next to them and the gloves coming in handy now!! I also enjoyed the plates and napkins came in great for entertaining! Thanks agaiN!

Thanks Savannah

I got my fab package and love it so so much. I didn't get a chance to take pictures in the middle of the move though. But I love it~

Joanna :)

Thank you Melonie!!! (belated)

Oh goodness this is late...my life has been SO crazy. But I received these three darling pumpkins just in time to switch out my summer swap gift that was on this shelf previously! LOVE them! My little boy was obsessed the first few days and kept wanting to get them down and snuggle them and I can't blame him they are so cute! THANK YOU!

Thank you Megan H!!

Thanks Megan for the awesome swap items! I love the dish towels a ton! And the boys LOVE the stickers, lollipops and skeleton straws (they've been using them all weekend as "swords"). We will be making pumpkin ice cubes soon!

I especially love the handmade zipper pouch and darling pin and hair clip!

you totally spoiled us!

Thanks again-- I hope you have a happy fall and Halloween!

Thanks Katie

WOW! I am amazed at my package from you. The letters are cut out of fabric and then sewn on the triangles. You have such patience and talent. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. I've got the banner up and plan on leaving it up for a while. I like how the colors can be fall but are such that they can be used at other times of the year. A thankful heart is a year round goal around here. I like how you covered the BOO blocks in fabric. It's so tedious to paint sometimes and I think the fabrics are bold and are a good use for scraps. I am going to use this idea in the future. I of course love the matching Mommy and Me black bows. My daughter has so much hair and clips are essential. THANK YOU!

Thanks Joanna

 I am so so so SORRY this is so late. I had problems with my wood project and was finally able to get it done on Monday night. I mailed it first thing Tuesday morning. I hope it gets there soon.

I put a few more details in the picture since it took me so long to get the gift ready.

From Savannah

Thanks, Melanie!

Thank you, Melanie! On the 5-things-to-know-about-me list, did I mention my chapstick addiction? It was on my list of stuff to pick up ... but you got me the good stuff that I rarely get for myself! And I love, love, love the pumpkin decoration. It's in the front window of my house and is currently my only fall decoration (but not for long. It inspired me to make a fall wreath for my door).

You know, I've never, ever decorated for fall/Halloween before. Actually, the only time I go hog-wild with decorating is for Christmas. But now that I have my very own (tiny ... as Monica knows!) house, I may start decorating for each season. Hmmm, I like that idea. Thanks again, Melanie!

Thanks Kelli!!

Kelli I LOVE!!!!!!! the wreath!! Thanks so much! I love that I can use it for Halloween and Fall!! It's so cute and just what I need for my fall decor! I also really love the vinyl, I love the way it looks on my front door! I've been wanting something like that for a while so thank you!! I was so surprised over the target gift card as well, thanks a ton! I am going there as soon as my kids wake up from their naps!!





Sorry about my sad photography skills!

Thanks Monica!

I loved the package, so much fun stuff. 

My kitties LOVED the catnip toys you made. What a cute idea!

I posted a few more pictures on my blog HERE. Thanks!

Thank you, Meka!

[My picture isn't too great]

I love everything! The trick or treat bag is just the right size for my 3 yr old. I can't wait to use the cookie cutters and ice cube tray with my kids! I love the purple flower clip!

My favorite has got to be the hats! They are wonderful!

Thanks again! Love it all!

P.S. Jennie, I sent your pkg w/o taking a sneak peek pic. So sorry. Hope you got it ok...

Thank you Naomi!

Don't worry about being late, I only sent my package out yesterday!
How cute is this hat?! I love it!
I'm glad you included the latter, because I was confused about the bandanna bib at first. :P It's timely too, she's finally cutting her first teeth, so she might be getting drooly again!
My husband's the chef of the house, so I need some good ideas on how to customize the apron & make it awesome for him! 'cause he is super-awesome! :D

Thanks for everything! ^_^
