My new addiction is definitely trades. After the Covert Robin, I've been on the look out for other mystery swaps. Then I came across Package Pals over at C.R.A.F.T. Yes! While this exchange wasn't so secret, it was still a chance to get a box full of unknown goodies in the mail. I LOVE getting stuff in the mail, especially boxes.
To my great delight, when Jamie emailed out the swap pairings I got Natalie from A Turtle's Life for Me. No way. No Freakin' WAY! I adore Natalie. I giggled a little when I saw her name. Natalie did the same, she assured me. :) Now I had to decide what to send her. Natalie told me she liked a beachy feel, funky colors, bright happy stuff. Easy enough. You can see what I sent Natalie by stopping by A Turtle's Life for Me.
The first awesome thing about Natalie's package to me - she used the same box I sent, topped it off with the same yellow tissue paper like I did and wrapped the whole thing in a brown paper shopping bag. I couldn't help but smile.
Then I took out the tissue paper and started digging everything out. Goodies galore!
A breakdown.
I already know what I'm making with half this stuff. Inspiration hit me as I was laying everything out for this picture. I can't wait to get crafty and show you. The necklace and earrings are really gorgeous. I'll get pictures with them on later. You can't really tell how great they are here.
I can't thank Natalie enough for my wonderful present!!
