Some Exchanges Received

In my last post I mentioned last week being a good mail week.
  First up is the exchange I received from CJ in the Rotating Designer exchange. This first round was to stitch any design from Prairie Schooler. CJ stitched the pumpkin for me from A Prairie Year BK6 on 28ct evenweave with DMC threads. I love this design and had stitched it for an exchange but never for myself! Now I have one of my very own :) CJ finished it into a cube and she said it was only the 2nd one she has made. She did a wonderful job as it is absolutely perfect! I have it displayed in my Living Room for all to see. Thank You so very much CJ!  It will be a treasured decoration for years to come.


 Next is the exchange I received from Becky K for the HOE Halloween Scissor fob exchange. She stitched a motif from Prairie Schooler's Boo To You! book on 32ct fabric with DMC threads. As always her stitching & finishing are absolutely perfect! She also included a scissor sheath, a pair of scissors, a wonderful scented candle and 4 Heath bars. As you can see in the picture there are only 2 Heath bars left. I am not going to say who ate them but I will say they are one of my many favorite candies! Thank You for a wonderful exchange Becky!



Next up is the wonderful Christmas ornament I received from Kay for the 123MB yearly Ornament exchange ran by Sue (Elsue). Kay stitched the Santa from  "Stockings" by Prairie Schooler BK 119 . It is absolutely adorable! I love how she finished it off!  The personalization on the back makes it extra special!She also sent me these adorable floss bobbins! I've never seen them made this way before and I just love them!
I am not sure how Kay knew this but I have heard so much about Cherry Ripes and have been dying to try one. In case you have never heard of them before they are a delicious candy that has coconut, cherries and chocolate...3 of my favorite things actually :) Sort of like an Almond Joy or Mounds but with cherries mixed into the coconut. Well Kay added that to my package! My first thought was to hide it from my DH & DS LOL But I figured I would invite them to try it with me. It was absolutely everything I thought it would be!! YUMMMMM!!!!! My DS loved it so much he went on the computer and searched for where to get more LOL My DH loved it also!
Thank You for a wonderful exchange Kay all of the goodies you included!


Well I will leave off here and finish posting more tomorrow!  I also have one exchange that I cannot show until it is posted on the exchange site.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Have a GREAT day!

Some great exchanges you have received Lisa, I especially like the cube.
Cherry Ripes are my husbands favourite chocolate bars, he also likes the dark chocolate version.
