Anyway, quickly on to happier things courtesy of the big Mac (hubby's computer).
You may have read Reene's account of my In The Purse swap lovelies, she is a cheeky one.
Imagine my delight to open my parcel to find this...
Oh yes I thought, very funny - I hope!
But my friend came good...
Don't you love it when you see something in the flickr pool and hope so much it will be coming your way, and it does? I love it and my pretty scraps and the extras Reene so kindly popped in for the kiddies...
The purse I made is on it's way to its new abode, and I will show you some pictures of the parcel I sent if the photos can be restored!
Thank you again Reene, Helen and Nicky for a great swap; I will be able to store the 3p I have left in style, after getting my laptop fixed xxx
Great swap item and extras.
ReplyDeleteYou always make me ROFL.
At least your 3p will be well housed in that cute as a button purse.
I hope they give you more than 3p in change!! At least you've got some nice brown fabric to blow your nose on now ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat swap goodies! And you know you love that brown one, too!
ReplyDeleteI have a time capsule for the Mac and it auto backs up every time my laptop is in use. Well worth the $$ to alleviate the headaches of losing stuff.
ReplyDeleteNice purse too
Oh, I wish I'd been a fly on the wall when you opened your parcel!! I love your 'real' purse and extras! I hope your computer gets fixed and the bill is surprisingly low...
ReplyDeleteP.S. Back up? Err...
OOoh great swag - hope it's good news with the laptopx
ReplyDeleteHee hee, loving offering #1 ;o)
ReplyDeleteGlad you got a good swap :-)
ReplyDeletelove the first one :O what a gorgeous second though lucky you !!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're off and running again! I hope you're able to get your photos restored. We don't realize just how much we depend on our computers until they break!
ReplyDeleteYour favourite colour! and what a pretty frame on it! And the second purse is lovely! Reene is a dreadful tease!
ReplyDeleteAw, that Reene is a naughty bugger isn't she?!!!! Haha! Lovely swopsies:-)
ReplyDeleteMen with screwdrivers sounds almost as dangerous as my OH armed with a hammer :-/ glad to hear you have Big Mac whilst Little Mac is at the menders......iPad to the fore? Push it all to the cloud ;-)
Was surprised to see the lovely brown one in your possession!! I might have a couple of English pence here to add to the 3 you have!
ReplyDeleteThe brown is very fetching!
ReplyDeleteI think I like no.1 even more than no.2! Sorry! Jxo
ReplyDeleteI am totally diggin the brown one but can see where it wouldn't be fitting for you! Just send it to me and we will be all good! Lol
ReplyDeleteWhat great bags!!
ReplyDeleteOh, now. Purse number 2 is just perfect! Look at that little guy just peeking out! Fab, fab purse for you. Well done, Reene!
ReplyDeleteThe purses are cute! (But then, I like brown. :-)
ReplyDeleteSincerest condolences on the hard drive. Mine calved a month and a half ago and couldn't be saved. Devastating. However, I was due for a graduation present so my old (5-years) macbook suddenly became a new one, so I'm healing... I wish you good news or a fat wallet for a new one.
Great package and I think you secretly love brown ! Haha! Well done Reene! Do you think she has started a trend and every swap you are in, you will win some brown!??
ReplyDeleteBeautiful purses, how nice to receive as well as to give. I love the little owl label peeping out.
ReplyDeleteAre you regifting the brown one to Rhonda? Hope you sort the `puter out - still laptopless here :-(
ReplyDeleteI love the brown one, especially the frame, send it my way. I was going to make you a larger brown pouch to put the pouch in for the pouch swap but Susan said it was not fair for you to get two pouches.
