As much a as I wanted to rip it open to see what goodies had arrived I had to wait because Mr S and I had to go to a birthday dinner for his sister.
When I finally opened it the next day I found these goodies inside.(the notebooks had fallen out :))
She sent a handmade notebook binder and ribbon bracelet.
There is also a notebook, pencil case and a smaller notepad + pen and a pad of small sticky notes.
The notebook cover is embroidered with my initials, the name of my blog and there is a design on the front in homage to the omiyage flower pouch I have as my avatar.
It was the International Craft Swap parcel from Catherine from At the Macx. Back in February Rachel of Houseof Pinheiro organised an International Craft Swap.[http://houseofpinheiro.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/international-craft-swap-join-me.html]
This is what I sent her back in mid April.

| A cool little container made of fabric |
 |
| A little coaster |
 |
| ring made from a cute little button |
 |
| Classic brooch |
 |
| Here it is all boxed up ready for shipping (I threw in a box of Tim Tams!) |
Swaps always fill me with self doubt. I always think, 'Is what I sent good enough?'.
I'll just have to get over myself :)
Anyway, big thank you to Rachel at House of Pinheiro and Catherine for this swap experience.
Until next time, I hope you are getting nice surprises.

Glad you liked your bits and bobs - your pieces were way more than good enough - and the Tim Tams went down really well with my son. Cx
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words Catherine. I'm glad your son liked the Tim Tams! I hope your fabric container comes in handy.
