I love hearts swap - what I sent

So, as promised, here's what I sent for the heart swap.  Heart shaped necklace and earrings made from polymer clay and with striped agate beads on the necklace.

 A heart paper punch, pad and decorated notebook/sketchbook.  Mirjam had said that her favourite colours at the moment were pink and red, which did dictate the colours for the jewellery and the notebook.
 Biscuit cutters.
 Heart buttons and ribbon.
 A hand made felt heart decoration (made from the wool from my sister's sheep).
 Of course, these just HAD to be included!
Here are the packages all ready to be sent off.  I really enjoyed this swap. Here's to the next two!

      Dear Toffeeapple
      Thank you. I enjoyed deciding what to make and send. I saw the wrapping paper in a Valentine display and knew it would be perfect.
      Best wishes

      Dear Anne
      Thank you. If I'd been a bit more with it on the technology front, I could have put a button on my side bar which you could just click on and go straight to the swap. There's a challenge for me!
      Best wishes

      Dear E
      Thank you. I really enjoyed the theme of the swap, and coming up to Valentine's day, I could have bought lots of things, so am glad the number was limited to five (well, in my case, five parcels). It was lovely to incorporate some hand made things too.
      Best wishes

    I love it! What comes across here is the fun your had making and buying bits and bobs for the parcel. It's all lovely, I'm sure it was very well received.
