You all know those pay it forwards that were going around a while back? I signed up with Lisa's PIF, and I received my package in the mail this week! I was SSSOOOOO excited, and impressed!
Isn't this the cutest tote you have EVER seen? I believe it was made exclusively from one pillowcase. What a great idea and pattern. I LOVE, love, love the piping and the print is to die for!!! It's so perfect!!! That's not all......
She also sent this little fabric covered notebook and........ EGGMAN!!!!! He is so cute. Lisa had stuffed him with a butterfinger cadbury egg, which I promptly ate. Eggman seemed rather relieved to be rid of the egg too, so we were both happy. We introduced ourselves, chatted for a while and then he wanted to take a walk. He really is a curious egg. He was rather enamored with the fire from this candle but when I explained to him what would happen if he got too close, he got this crazy look on his face:
and screamed like a girl! He has been hiding away in a box since and doesn't want to come out!!! Please, please pray for my Eggman!

Aww, poor eggman -- get him out of that box and introduce him to the bacon -- you know, bacon and eggs just go together!!! Lovely goodies from your PIF!

GOSH! I have got to get my PIF done. I signed up right before I found out about Justin's tumor and haven't thought much about it since. Thanks for the reminder!
That tote is so cool! Perfect for summer picnics. May have to try to make one.

Penny, what lovely gifts you have received! You know the saying: Sweets to the sweet. It certainly is true. I adore the fabric on the tote!

what fun treats to get in the mail! that's an awesome (re)use of a pillowcase. Glad you were able to steer eggman clear of the flame; my guess is it wouldn't have been kind to him. :) but then again, other people are suggesting serving him with bacon...!

so cute!!
my first pif is a hat, and it's giving me serious issues. :-\
Still loving the bag you sent!

What a lovely bag! I too love the piping - how clever to put it at the bottom like that. Eggman is adorable! What a fatastic idea, to hide a chocolate egg in a little knitted critter! Altogether, it must have a fun package to open :)

Okay, I don't know where I've been, but I'm so glad that Eggman is happy in his new home! He plays nicely with other eggs! Feel free to stuff a plastic egg from easter in *there* to get him puffed out again.
Enjoy your stuff! I've never done a swap or anything like it before, so was quite nervous about it. Glad it went over well.
