The dear Kitty Ballistic, who sent me all my wonderful Alice in Wonderland goodies, has now received my parcel and been kind enough to take some photos because I forgot!
Here’s what I sent
Handmade resin ‘Queen of Hearts’ Jewellery:
Teacup Candle kit, for an alternative Mad Hatters Tea party:
Some chocolate and Wonderland cards & tags:
and finally some little beady goods, to use in her crafts:
You can read more about them over on her blog :)

A celebration of our Cat pals all across the globe. Initially, I was going to host an itty bitty cat swap but have decided to open it up to the entire family, anything from tigers & lions to cheetahs, caracals and domestic cats!
This swap is open internationally(so also be prepared to post globally) and should include a minimum of one handmade themed item(for your swap partner or their cat!) and also something your swap partner can use in a crafty way(this does not have to be cat related).
All crafts and arts are welcome. Jewellery, photography, paper crafts, illustration, upcycled, knitting, sewing, felting, woodwork, printing… everything goes! and I’ll be attempting to pair people with different specialities so we can all see something new!
Here’s a little inspiration for your swap:
To take part, please email the following information to catswap@ilovespoiltpig.com
Your Name:
Postal Address:
Email:
Blog/website: (so your partner can learn more about you!)
Any favourites in the cat family and do you have a cat?:
A little about you: (favourite colours, some interests, style, craft, allergies that your swap partner may need to know about)
Sign up before the 15th March and I’ll get everyone emailed with their swap partners details within the week. Last date for posting to your partner will be the 19th of April, plenty of time to get creating!
. . . . . .
*There’s no minimum or maximum spend on this swap but make sure to send something you would be happy to receive yourself and communicate with your partner throughout.
I signed up for another one of Meridian Ariel’s fab swaps a little while ago and just before the weekend, I received mines from my partner in the Netherlands!
Here are the Alice in Wonderland goodies I received from Kitty Ballistic
I feel spoiled :) On top of the pictured goodies I also received lots of gorgeous purple glitters, some tiny silver stars and heart shaped confetti! Of course the entire contents of the ‘Eat Me’ parcel have been devoured(green&blacks chocolate) but still working my way through the huge selection of teas in the ‘Drink Me’ parcel.
Thanks x100000000000000 to Kitty Ballistic for all my lovely presents and to Meridian Ariel for organising yet another amazing swap!
I forgot to take pictures of the things I put together for KittyB but hopefully she’ll take some pics at the other end and I’ll blog about it then.
