"The whole difference between construction and creation is exactly this: That a thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed; but a thing created is loved before it exists."

Things

Now that the last person - me - has received their September ATM Swaps; The Addams Family, I can post photos of what I made for it. I made Things!



The swap package arrived yesterday! I adore everything - Ara and Christine did such fine work!
The reason it took such a long time to reach me this time - despite being mailed air mail - is that Canada Customs opened it! Not just the box but each of the items too. Everything looks fine - great in fact! Perhaps when people post photos I'll see if anything is missing but I don't think so. But the funny bit is can you imagine the people at Canada Customs? They must've really wondered! My daughter suggested that they probably called everyone in the office to come and have a look....took photos.....
I'll try to take quality photos of the items I received later today so you can better appreciate! They really are just the best items! I can't wait to find them a home to display somewhere! I'm considering adding them to the bottom level of my 'What's That Smell?' MAKE that Marie made for me for now at least! :D
