I received this wonderful Spring House and Garden Exchange from Mylene today. She stitched me this beautiful, colorful pinkeep using Lizzie Kate's Spring Sampler. It is so beautifully stitched and perfectly finished. The variegated rick rack she used for the trim on the sides is just gorgeous. And she also sent me a BBD chart that I so very desired off of my wishlist, as well as a collection of pretty red ribbons. Thank you so much Mylene. I love it all, and it was such a treat to receive from you :-)
I also heard this morning, with great relief, that Isa finally received my SBEBB Here's To Ewe Exchange today. Whew. It took a slow ride from here to France, despite Priority Mail postage. But, enough of the postal woes... if you peek and give it a good look, you will see Isa's name stitched into the ornament. The chart called for three lettered initials. Since I did not know Isa's middle initial, I thought about what to put in the spaces... until it dawned on me that her nickname is three letters long :-)
And here are all of the goodies I sent out to her too - easy choices, after reading her blog for a few weeks it became evident to me that she and I have similar tastes ;-) Isa agreed with me on that one!
OK... off to do my cardio and then my exchange stitching...
Stitched on today: Finished a Crazy Exchange, and finished Garden Exchange

What lovely exchanges! Glad your shipment finally made it to its respective home oversees.
Lovely exchanges
They're both great exchanges, but I particularly love the CHS design - very cute with the animals all piled on top of each other!
Mylene sent you a very pretty exchange, and I absolutely love what you sent to Isa!!
They are both very beautiful! I just love the Here's to Ewe exchange you stitched, what a pretty design. I worry about mine, it's been travelling for more than two weeks now and no word yet...
