I received mine with much delight, thank you so much again Dragon87 :). She gave me a book I’ve been wanting for a while, a lovely bracelet she created herself and some delicious teas!
Thank you! 😀
😀 I’m glad everything made it safe and sound…. I was worried that 1: The bracelet would come loose and get lost, or 2: that the teas would open… It seems none of the above happened. Which is good. (I loved the smell of the mint tea so much that I got one for myself too… and it is awesome). Now I’m just waiting for what I got *glares at postman*. 😆
Thank you so much again, can’t tell you how much it cheered me up! 🙂 lol, no worries, you packed everything so well!
lol, I hope you receive your gifts soon! 😀

abatos wrote:It’s a beautiful book, I was so delighted when I opened it! It mainly shows technique and has a small showcase of the artist’s works for the last chapter :).
I couldn’t agree more, I love how the artist paints his animal’s eyes, they’re mesmerizing! Do you have any other favourite art books? 🙂 I bought Lesley Harrison’s book “Painting Animals That Touch the Heart” last year and still can’t believe I found a copy! I recommend it to anyone who likes her art and working in pastels :).
Wow! Everyone is receiving such wonderful gifts! 🙂
My first one to my recipient was delivered on time, just waiting on part 2 now.
I do! 🙂 Probably my most favorite one is “Painting the Drama of Wildlife Step by Step – Learning to Capture the Striking Beauty of Nature in Acrylic” by Terry Issac. His work is absolutely gorgeous! He describes each step in great detail, along with his various tools of the trade. I highly recommend it! 🙂

Thank you SO MUCh DM! Your gifts were so thoughtful, and I can tell you put a lot of thought and care into it! You are so sweet, and I love all of the gifts!! (I do have to say, that I think Chloe claimed the pink bulldog!!) Your gift is so perfect because I LOVe chocolate, I need all of the good luck in the world right now-with how things are going in my life, the heart necklace is so pretty, and I am going to wear it to my job interview in a week, and that in-home spa set is so lovely and well needed! I have used it already, and it feels so nice! The note you gave was so sweet, and I can’t thank you enough!! I had such a crappy day today, and this brightened it up!!!

You are MORE then WELCOME!!!
I’m SOOOOO glad you posted that you got the package!!
I was starting to worry since they told me 1-3 days and yesterday Monday was day 3 and no post from you. I wanted to PM you SOOOO BALDY but as you see I was good!!
I can’t believe I left the price tag on the Spa kit though
NirvanaCat got the same Spa kit for the Christmas swap along with 2 Snuggies
I hope both necklaces bring you luck. When I got your list the first 2 things that jumped out at me where Bulldogs and PINK and I thought of that dancing singing bulldog from my store. I didn’t even think about Chloe adopting the bulldog but now I will be a part of her life forever!!
I was having a devil of a time getting the Franklin Mint Lucky the Mood Dragon necklace in time to ship it out. I don’t have a credit card/debit card attached to my PayPal account right now and can’t leave too much money in my checking account due to a bill going after my money but that is another story entirely.
I won it on e-bay and the lady lived in Sacramento but we had several missed attempts to meet mainly due to my work schedule but it finally worked out.Im glad you got everything in tacked and loved it all. I had fun putting it together for you
When I saw your name I started to jump up and down in my seat at my computer. I hope you get GREAT use out of all the items
Like I said in the letter I got you the heart necklace because we all LOVE you!!!
Still nothing on my end and I’m not going home tonight so maybe tomorrow Wednesday nightI am anxiously waiting to see if my swappe got her two packages. Both should come any time now! (I have tracking….I am just being lazy. 🙂 lol
umm Mine hasn’t been sent yet 🙄 , i am sorry to my swapee I am working on it, and i am getting ever closer to it being finished, really close actually.
Actually, it says it was delivered on March 5th…..there was a note saying it was from me…..WHERE ARE YOU MY SWAPEE???

So thank you Jennifer, for the great present! (and the little dragon you drew on the envelope is so cute! I cut it out and I’m saving it!)drgnlvr

Keep in mind that I didn’t get my stuff from the last swap until beginning of January. It’ll get there! And you’ll go insane from the suspense in the meantime…. 😈 lol
