mail call!


Ive been wanting to post these pictures for a few days now from a couple of swaps I did. The first one was the birthday treasury box swap hosted by Amy Powers. I had Marlene Haveron for my sweet partner. Here is some pics of the CUTE things she sent me.

How did she know that choc cake is my favorite?

and look at the sweet little flower topper doll she made! I love it!



There were some other balloons on here that I knocked off when I went to take the pictures, but I will reattach them later! isnt the whole thing cute?
Then check out that awesome birthday tiara! isnt it just adorable? Thank you Marlene, I love everything!

INcluding the awesome "vintage" type candies! I just to play dr with those dots when I was a kid!

next up... I dont know it you know Kai or not, but she is just about one of the nicest sweetest persons out here in blogland. She hosted a vacation in a match box swap, and I couldnt pass it up. Kai lives in the big ol state of Texas and she sent me a big ol bunch of texas fun!

and among all that fun was this cowgirl bear, riding on this little house! cute cute cute! shes holding a flag that says, "You must be funnin me pardner, this aint no texas horse! " too funny! and inside that little yellow rose of texas box, is the tiniest little kitty charm. i couldnt get a good picture of it, but trust me.. its really sweet!

Then here is the match box, all done up in texas style!

And filled with all this sweet stuff! love those buttons and ribbons! There was also some texas postcards and some houston texans football fabric. Thank you again dear Kai! you know I adore you!
the next couple pics are things I sent the girls, this one below is the birthday treasury box I sent to Marlene.

And the next few pictures are what I sent to kai, its my ny beach box! you know that I have a one track mind this time of year.. beach beach beach!
