2012 TrueBlood Swap on Ravelry: Package Received

I am so happy to have participated in this swap again. These ladies are awesome and they come up with the most amazing themes for the packages.

Here is what I received!

Gizmo wanted to help open the package.

Everything taken out of the box.

My spoiler wrote an awesome story to go along with my goodies. They were all numbered so I got to read the story and open everything one at a time. The suspense was killing me, but I loved every minute of it!

An awesome red shawl. The pattern is "Vlad" on Ravelry. I don't think I would have ever found the time and patience to knit this for myself.

A handmade Fangtasia purse! And it is huge so it holds everything I need.

THE softest fingerless mitts ever! Made from sky blue mink and cashmere yarn.

A cute handmade bag, bracelet and stitch markers.

Glitter, Paul Mitchell shampoo & conditioner samples, a loofah, glass nail file, two polishes, and two lip balms.

Candy! Even some from the UK! Everything was so yummy...yes, it is all gone already..except for the drinking chocolate. I'm using it sparingly to make it last. :) Also, she sent the tea to help with headaches.

Homemade white chocolate fang candy too! Lots of them.

A black choker with Eric's "blood" in a vial incase of an emergency.

Two books. I've read through the Palmistry book. Yep, it pretty much says I am artistic and mothering. :) I can't wait to start Wicked Appetite .

Yarn! Malabrigo Silky Merino Yarn - 869 Cumparsita  My first Malabrigo! And a cake of Sky Goddess Yarn in the Crave colorway. It is a light fingering weight. Both of these are currently on the needles and hook.

Orange ribbon and candle. And three TB buttons.

Everything!

I was so royally spoiled in this swap. I can never thank my spoiler enough! Thanks V!

The next post will be the package I sent to my spoilee because this one was so long.

TrueBlood Swap on Rav

I am participating in a swap on Ravelry in the TrueBlood group. I haven't received my package yet, but I thought I would show you some pictures of what I sent my spoilee.
Here is what she saw when she opened the box.
This is all the little goodies she got to open!
A note from me explaining what the theme of my package was: "Pick Me: Eric vs. Alcide" (she likes them both, so I had Eric & Alcide to kind of plead their cases to win her over...)
These are the goodies from Eric: bracelet, stitch markers, yarn, chocolate candle, do not disturb sign, washcloth & body wash. And a note from Pam to help convince her to pick Eric.
Here are the goodies from Alcide: a cowl, starburst, socks, hot chocolate, sewing tin, dishcloth, earrings, stitch markers, & vanilla candle.
She has a yorkie, so Sam Merlotte's threw in a new hand knit dog toy:
The back on the TB project bag:
Side view:
A hand drawn pic from me. And a keychain with a blood drop and a claw to represent Eric & Alcide.
A few pix of Joe Manganiello (Alcide) and some paper dolls ;-) as well as a few crocheted hearts I threw into the box.
The best part is that she loved everything! Yay! I cannot wait until the next swap!
I've had so much fun...just waiting on my swap package to arrive and see all the goodies I get!
