Remember this post...where I mentioned Mamarazzi's Red, White, & Blue Swap? Well, It's July 4th, so I'm gonna show off what I received from my awesome partner Jessica over at 'The Great Northwest' ...and click here if you'd like to see what I sent her.
Look at all the wonderfully festive goodies she sent...
...I loved everything and was so excited when I saw the package on the front stoop! Jessica really put some thought into the package and wrapped every item so nicely, yay!
She even hand-made this awesome cherry pin cushion (and I've been needing a good pin cushion for a while now). Of course, she wrote a little note...
...but I'm sooooo glad she sent it because it might have been my favorite item. I've been meaning to make a cupcake pin cushion forever now but just haven't done it. So maybe I'll use her kindness as an inspiration to make some for gifts too.
And she must've seen my Mimi Jam post and known that we love some home-made strawberry jam...yumminess from her Momma...a girl after my own heart ;-)
So, thank you Jessica...I had so much fun being your swap partner, you are a rock star!
And the winner of my Mad Tea Party giveaway is...Erin from Treasures Found, yay...what a fun time that was! And she makes beautiful jewelry and has a great blog so go give her a shout if you can.
Last but not least, this awesome button bracelet and fabric brooch are from my girl Lori over at 'Morning Glories and Moonflowers.'
I traded her some of my fabric cards for this 'Creme Brulee' bracelet and she sent the brooch as a special treat, how fun! She's actually got one in her shoppe for sale so if you love it or need a cute button bracelet go check her out. Thanks for the trade Lori...I really appreciate it!
Now, we are off to take the kiddos to the pool. I hope everyone has a wonderful fourth of July!
Jamie :)

I just realized that I spelled attempt wrong on your note! My only excuse was that I was in such distress over that pin cushion... :) I'm a dork.

Wow! I won something....cool! I am not sure what I would do with these but I am game to find out where the inspiration would strike!
I would love the butterfly punches...and it is a toss up between the owls and those round bright pinwheel flower things...Surprise me!
