Cupcake swap

I recieved my cupcake swap this morning from Mitmot and oh my it was like Christmas! Here's what she sent me:
And inside this scrumptious packaging was some lovely handmade goodies:

a pin cushion (much needed in this house, been meaning to make one!) and a lovely brooch


a very clever tape measure!
2 lovely pictures. The aeroplane one was so thoughtfully sent due to my sons love of vintage aeroplanes and us trying to deck his room out with that as a bit of a theme.

yup - the real cupcakes are gone already!!

and a lovely cup, already has my tea in it, cake cases and a cupcake hook.

I feel so very lucky today, and everything has a home already. Thank you so much!

Now I need to get my butt in gear and finish my swap :O)

    The swaps are great fun aren't they.....such a talented bunch
    btw thank you for your lovely comment on my blog and if you did want to paint laminate first apply a coat of ESP, its a primer for laminates/melamine and gives the following paint something to grip to...good luck if you go for it xx

    Helloooo

    Thanks for visiting my blog and for your lovely comment! We spent about an hour yesterday clearing 4 years of artwork off the floor that madam had chucked all over the place so we now can finally see the floor ;)

    Just become a follower of yours, your blog is so pretty. The goodies from Mitmot are stunning :)

    Hi Kirsty .... lovely swap from Mitty .... I love the vintage aeroplane picture ... I am giving the next couple of swaps a miss.... I really enjoy them but with the new baby due anytime now I really must concentrate on that. Two reasons why I am not letting Ellie use the sewing machine ... first she is still too young for this particular one and the second more mercenary reason is that I realise now I can make a little profit by selling it. I would say something similar would be perfect for an 8 year old .... there is no bobbin case to worry about so straightforward to use.

    Hi Lala, thanks for replying. I've seen the machines on ebay and on a few blogs but not in real life so it's hard to judge huh? Hope you do well selling it on anyway :)

    And thank you for all the new visitors comments. I've just realised I go round blogs and forget which ones I've said hi on and which ones not so I just gabble any old rubbish! Oops!

    What a lovely bunch of goodies to receive! I'm a bit nervous about sending mine now but hopefully my swapee will be forgiving as I'm a swap-virgin!
