Mail-In Monday #6

Last week, my mailbox was filled with great stuff!

Incoming:

I got my ATC from Jennafer from Creating Keepsakes Scrapbooking Magazine. It was beautiful, creative and I loved it! I have it displayed on my work space!

Thank You Jennafer!

I won a giveaway on Destiny's Blog and it was a lovely headband from Raspberry Bowtique . You should all check out the stuff they have available on their store, it is lovely!

It came beautifully Packaged

Thank you, Elena!

I ordered some stuff from Ashley's Store, After Nine To Five. I was very impressed because it got here in no time! I loved everything and can't wait to wear them. It had a beautiful note inside from Ashley and Nathan:

My stuff came in this lovely tins!

This is what I bought:

The Silver Lantern Earrings

Capture The Moment Necklace

A Pirate's Life For Me Necklace

 And the lovely Ashley threw in these earrings for FREE! Isn't she awesome? Thank you, Ashley!

Arr, Matey! Earrings

I won another giveaway from the super sweet Camille Yanair on Pixie Mama! Isn't it funny? In group giveaways I won two prizes from the same person on different blogs. It must be a sign!... or not. Lucky anyways! Here's what I won:

Vintage Fabric Earrings

Thank you, Camille!!!

I have been wanting an underwater camera for a long, long time, but I started to think about it and the more I did, the more I thought that right now, at this exact moment, I don't need it and I'd rather save that money and put it towards that new lens I'm lusting after. It would be different if I would still live in Cartagena where I used to go to the pool and the beach pretty often, but here I'm lucky to go once or twice every summer, so I decided to just buy this underwater camera case for my Sony on Amazon.com. I was very excited when the package arrived but I haven't tried it yet because, of course, I haven't stopped working and it has been a crazy couple of weeks but I'll let you know how it goes when I do :)

Thank you for reading!

So, a few weeks ago I won a giveaway on Kelsey's Blog. It was a necklace by the great Camille Yanair. I had originally won a lovely Bambi Antlers one but it got lost in the mail and Camille was very nice to send a replacement and I love it! It's brown and it goes with plenty of my shirts.

Thanks, Camille!

She Also Sent a Super Cute Card!

Katie From Punk Projects organized a super cool ATC swap! Here's the one I made and sent to my partner. I actually made it in a rush, it's been a crazy couple of weeks. I made it using my 

Scrapbooking materials (my partner was actually a scrapbooking magazine.) Honestly I'm not crazy about it but I still hope they like it! I used my favorite quote for it, "Beauty Is In The Eye Of The Beholder".

That was it for this week! Thanks for reading!

Mail-In Monday #2

So here are the cute things I sent and received this week!

Incoming

I got my package from the Crafty Peep Swap ! It was a super cute Scarf/Shawl made by my partner, Gabi. I totally loved it, it goes very well with all my clothes. Unfortunately, with the killing heat of Southern Georgia right now, I'm not gonna be wearing it until around September, but believe me, when the time comes, you'll see plenty of pictures of me wearing it :)

Thanks Gabi!

I also received my prize from Campfire Chic's April Giveaway and it was a beautiful print from Melanie at Tip Toe Thirty . Make sure you go check her out, she takes beautiful pictures and she is a very nice person!

Cherry Blossom 8x10!

Thanks Melanie!

So this week was LeeLee's birthday and I decided to send her a little something! I put together a care package for her with some stuff I bought and some stuff I made :) She had no idea I was sending her something, she didn't see it coming and I was VERY excited to know that it made it there on her actual birthday and not one day before or one day after :)

I bought her this super cute shirt:

And wrapped it in cupcake tissue paper!

I also got her button stamps from Ashley's store: FlyBy Designs. Her stamps are GREAT and I can't wait to buy some for myself!

I made a little cupcake envelope to put them in :)

And finally, I made for her this pair of earrings! This was the first pair I ever made of these, but now you can find them for sale on my new Etsy Store :)

And well, that was it for this week! I hope you liked everything as much as I did!

Thanks for reading!

 I thought it would be nice to blog about all the cool stuff I get in the mail. I LOVE getting stuff by mail, it just makes my day... or as my husband would say, "It feels like Christmas". I love mailing stuff as well, it's a lot of fun! So I am gonna be showing you weekly what I got and what I sent out :)

I won a super cool giveaway from Erin (Eef) on Mary Rebecca's Blog . It was the cutest Cupcake magnet set EVER! I love it so much and I was actually in need of a few magnets for my new magnetic board, so this ones were perfect!

Thank you, Erin!

Super cute little cards!

This picture sucks, too much light from my dining room... but aren't they the cutest?

I also got my new Flash! I've been spending all my money on Camera stuff and I'm gonna be broke in no time if I keep doing that. Not Cool. but I do love everything. I wish I'd win the lottery and buy all the cool equipment out there. (And open an Animal Shelter, of course.)

I also won a giveaway from Miss Lou on Just Because By LeeLee . It was a lovely handmade Polaroid frame! I now have to buy some film and take a great picture to go in it! I absolutely love it, it's so cool :)

Lovely card!!! Thank you, Lou!

It was wrapped! So cute!

I love the fabric, the colors, everything!

So, Friday was the deadline to send out the crafts to my partner for the Crafty Peep Swap. Look what I sent to Gabi, from California! (She should be getting it today so I don't mind posting it here.) Gabi told me her favorite color was Green... and I think I went a little overboard on the Green for this... 

I made her a Jewelry set... earrings and a necklace:

I also made her a headband:

And then my dog Chelsea got a hold of it an destroyed it:

So I went ahead a made her a new one:

I also made for Gabi, my very first Mosaic project. It's a style I've been wanting to try for a long time and I finally did. I made her a 5x7 picture frame! It came out pretty good to be the first one EVER, but it is far from perfect.

A lot of green huh? Then I packed it and wrapped it really pretty and I hope everything made it safely to her hands!

I'm gonna start selling stuff like what I made for Gabi on Etsy. Stay tuned for the announcing of my two Etsy stores. (One for prints, and one for crafts. Yeah I know it's a lot of work having two, but I'm weird like that.)

Thank you so much for reading!
