some thanks

These thankyous are, in some cases, long overdue...

Firstly, thankyou for all the lovely comments and congratulations for our upcoming mini pyg. It's great to be back and participating in this most generous and creative group of bloggy ladies.
Luving all of ya!

Secondly, a much belated thankyou to Claudia who sent me a very special swap package some time ago which I never posted about. I now have this gorgeous fella staying at my house (Claudia - If you happen to notice, his beak is a bit different, he and the girl had a slight altercation where I had to do some minor surgery) He even came with his own matching carry bag.

I also received lots of other great things including fabric, stickers and stationery. Thankyou Claudia

Thirdly, another belated thankyou to Susannah who sent this absolutely amazing stash of mini (and not so mini) strips of embroidered ribbon (my all time favourite thing!)

I am not sure if I will ever be able to use them because I think they are all so irreplaceable and pretty. I bring them out and look at them often however. Susannah also sent a cute mini windmill for the girl which she runs throughout the house trying to get to twirl. It is quite funny to watch as she constantly looses her balance trying to watch the windmill rather than watch where she is going.

I haven't forgetten Susannah that it was "a swap" I will get a parcel to you soon.

Lastly, thankyou to all the lovely ladies who participated in the last postcard swap of nikkishell's. All the cards were wonderful and so different.

I hoping that is the lot and that I haven't forgotten any other owed thanks.
Now I can start fresh!
