Mail! Mini Swap!

Maddie & I participated in the Mini Swap hosted by Molly and Maddie already received her package from Elliot and his mom Paige! (We are a bit behind them, but are planning on getting our package out this week!) It was filled with all kinds of great things, including a very nice drawing from the very talented Elliot! Here's Maddie ripping into the goodies:

She thought it was so much fun and has been making valentines with all the crafty bits and pieces packed into the wonderful package! She especially likes the cute little hearts that you see in the front of this last picture. . .

After "school" she filled them up with things from each of the little silver containers ( buttons, foam beads, paper heart, etc. . . ) and set off with her "Valentine purse".
Thanks so much Elliot and Paige!! Maddie & I are having lots of fun with the wonderful package and we hope to put together one that you will enjoy too.
** Update ** There is now a flickr group for the Mini Swap.
That's not all I received in the mail though. . .

Liz sent a great big box of fiber for Theresa & I to try out! This deserves an entire post all it's own, so I will save it for another day. Thanks so much Liz!
And finally. . . the Spring 2006 Interweave Knits arrived. Can't wait to take a look at that later. . .
I'm so glad you received it!!!!!
I can't wait to see the beautiful yarn you and Theresa will make!

Oh! You are such a tease with that new fiber. I will definitely have to find time to come visit soon.
Looks like Maddie got a pretty nifty box, too!
