~Squealing Like a Little Girl~

... and can you blame me?

This box, t-h-i-s box, is one I look forward to receiving every February, and with good reason: there's always Heart to Heart Swappy Goodness inside!

I love opening all of the envelopes, cellophane, and tissue paper wrapping to reveal the treasures inside:

A miniature gumball machine and dimensional map hearts...

Love banner mounted on (and originally wrapped around) a spool (look at all of the fabrics and embellishments!)...

Matchbox miniature in sweet pastels...

Literally a "flying heart" ornament!

This layered ornament reminds me of the one ~I~ contributed to the swap.  So nice to see a touch of ~crochet~ (hinty hint-hint).

Buttons and stitching are a lovely combination...

Valentine flash cards appeal to my inner teacher.  Wait a minute... I'm REALLY a teacher...

When pigs fly!  Another reason to ~squeal~.

Paper textures and eyelet...

Whooo loves you?

... and another quick peek at the gumball miniature!

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU, dearest Heart to Heart Swappers, and thank you to Super Sarah over at Makin' Projiks for helping all of us share the love and our creative talents with other crafty valentines!
