Oh that's brilliant Victoria! I used to like Cadbury's creme eggs but I think they've altered the filling as it now tastes too sweet for me.

My birthday cards have started to arrive, hopefully my Halloween swap will be obvious from the envelope as I don't open my birthday cards until the day.

[Victoria]

Glad you like it LJ. A very simple make using the Cameo but I thought your granddaughters might like it too!! I like the idea of behaeading the eggs.

Now great minds (!!) must think alike because I also received a lovely parcel this morning. See below!

[Victoria]

This is my lovely swap made by Borderline. There must be some spooky telepathy in the air because this is also a gift bag with goodies inside! I particularly like the gems in the letters - they look like tiny lights. And of course, I love 'pumpkin' chocolate! Many thanks Borderline.

Most definitely a TREAT. x

Another great make Borderline. I have a bag of the pumpkin chocs ready for trick or treaters. I feel mean now as I didn’t include any goodies with my make.

[Borderline]

We were on the same wavelength, Victoria!

[Little Jan]

I’m sure granddaughters will love the little bag although there might be a fight for it lol

I’m sure that won’t be the case LJ.
I’m guessing you’re sending to PP and PP to me if my calculations are correct!

[PinkPig]

Thank you Jan for the lovely lantern which arrived today . I will take a photo later when it is truly dark so it can be seen to the best advantage.

I sent mine First Class from the Post Office on Monday morning so it should be nearly with you PJP.

[Little Jan]

I might be AWOL for a short time while I get my small brain cell recharged
I lost the ATC’s I made so had to do a rush job
Also left something out of the swap I send PP
Well the original ATC’s turned up
In Lytham St Annes
I had written out the envelope for the ATC’s
At the same Time as doing a Birthday card
And reminding myself to put the return envelope in with ATC’s
I put the ATC’s in the envelope with Birthday card :doh:
My mate said she has thought for the 45years she has known me I might be completely bonkers
Now I have confirmed it

[PinkPig]

Is she going to join in the swap from now on LJ?

[Little Jan]

She is no crafter lol
But does appreciate a hand made gift

I Made her sons cot bumper and quilt ,his christens gown and cake

[PinkPig]

Absolutely knocked out by your ls tern LJ, superb! Thank you so much!

Bloomin' 'eck, that is amazing! A veritable masterpiece, LJ, well done.

[Little Jan]

Glad you like it PP
Looks like the bottom has started to come unstuck sorry
Probably weight of the light switch
It was made by adapting a tonic die
I have used the die many times for gift boxes for chocolates or small trinkets
But had trouble getting it to glue together
I normally use tonic glue or DS tape but it would not hold tried 3 different glues
the language here turned the air black not blue lol
Ended up stapling it I was not going to let it beat me lol after messing up on the ATC’s
I really enjoyed making it though I love a challenge

[Victoria]

I'm catching up and loving the latest creations.

[pyjama princess]

I sent mine First Class from the Post Office on Monday morning so it should be nearly with you PJP.

I'm not sure when it arrived PP as it would have been put with the pile of my birthday cards which I don't open until the day.
I meant to post photos last night when I did my birthday card thread but completely forgot until this morning!

My amazing Halloween creation arrived tied up with orange lace/ribbon.

https://i.postimg.cc/MGqfgFks/October-Halloween-Pink-Pig-1.jpg (https://postimg.cc/4Y239wxt)

Once I'd untied the ribbon I could see that there was a little packet as well as the card.
I'm sure the papers must be Graphic 45 - I don't own any but it's the sort of designs that they produce.
The card has several layers of plain card and patterned papers.
There's lots of small die cut images going around the edge of the card and larger ones in the middle section.

Once opened this is what was inside the little packet:

At first I thought they were wooden buttons as they felt really solid but on closer inspection (and a sniff!) they turned out to be chocolate!

Another great Halloween make from PP. I've loved seeing everyone's creations - I think this must be the best Halloween swap we've had so far.

[PinkPig]

It is Graphic 45. I confine myself to just buying the 8x8 pads nowadays as I never to seem to use up the 12x12 ’s and the Graphic 45 Stash takes up too much space, I need to use it up. I cannot resist the papers though.

[Victoria]

Another wonderful creation. Graphic 45 papers are really striking and that ribbon is lovely. Love those chocs - I thought they were bottle tops!
