These are the crafty goodies that I sent to my lovely friend Linda

(Mmmm, there is actually 6 items there!!= not 5!!)
..... and this is the Halloween tag and matchbox that I altered for Linda.



...and this is the Halloween gorgeousness I received in return.

WOW...Linda is sooo talented, I just love our little swaps!!
How spookylicious is the little Halloween booklet inside the matchbox!
Thanks again Linda for another fab swap!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN !!
