So I got my amazing gift from IzzyXIII :Mario It's a question mark block box:

I absolutely love it. I haven't decided what to use it for yet but it must get used. I'm thinking for jewelry or to hold my threads for whatever cross stitch project I'm working on (most of my projects max out at 12 colours). My four year old wants to steal it and thinks I should keep game cartridges in it.
@IzzyXIII you did a great job but I don't know how you ever had the patience to felt the inside because the corners are literally perfect.

I am so so so sorry to Petitcat for not posting this sooner. I received my lovely swap gifts (all the way from Denmark!!!) back in October sometime and I've kind of sucked at life lately, so I am just now getting to posting a picture.

I received a small stitch of Roll the snake from the NES game Snake, Rattle n' Roll, a bell pull with all sorts of Zelda items on it, some chocolate (which was all very delicious. Both my husband and I enjoyed it, thank you!), and some post cards with information about the area. I sincerely apologize for taking so long to post this or even letting you know they arrived safely. Didn't mean to cause any worry. I love all of it. I'm going to get a frame for my snake soon and the bell pull is hanging on a wall next to another lovely swap gift I received as I do not have any bells to attach it to :D

Also, I apologize to the person I am supposed to be sending to...I have finished and will be at the post office tomorrow to send your package. I do hope that once you receive your package, it will be worth the wait :nod

I got my swap gifts today! Thank you Linkismyhomeboy!!! They are AWESOME! It's hard to see the colors on the sides of the Deathly Hallows hanger, but LIMH used the colors of each Hogwarts House. The top is Hufflepuff with Black and Yellow, the right side is Slytherin with Silver Grey and Green, the left side is Gryffindor with Golden Yellow and Scarlet, and the bottom is Ravenclaw with Blue and a Bronzie Brown.

I love them, even the snarky one :) I thought it was funny and so did my son and husband! And don't be sorry!! I understand why they were late and I hope life stops being a bitch and lets you get back to enjoying the things you like again :)

I still haven't got mine in the mail and I've been told it got sent ages ago.
Trying to contact the different companies delivering mail in Sweden, but according to their homepages they can't or have a very slim chance of tracing letters and packages from abroad... :cry:
