Treasured Tin Swap

I received my Treasured Tin from Wanda. I was so excited to see it on the front porch when I arrived home from work (especially when I heard she had received hers yesterday). Pardon the pictures for being out of order, I still haven't figured out how to put them in order, also if they're dark I'm sorry, I tried lightening them, but it's pouring outside, so not so much natural light today.
In this picture, there is some Glimmer Mist (I have been wanting some of this for awhile), a frog punch, some paper flowers, a doily looking thing, a blue marker and some neutral/brown buttons.
Here is a variety of flower soft and glitter in blues and greens. Blue/green and any variation of that is my favorite color. Most things in the tin were in that color range. Very cool to open the tin and see.
Here we have punches out of various paper in hears and circly things, plus some gem flowers at the top.
Here there is some buttons, and some binder clips. I'm very excited about the binder clips, as I read about people using them, but have never used them myself.
Here we have glitter butterfly stickers, some painted oval metal frames and a pad of green patterned paper.
Here are some great frog stickers, you should know by now I love frogs. I do already have a sheet of the middle stickers, but you can never have too many frogs.
Some vintage photographs. Very excited about these, as I can never find them around here.
Paper flowers, not quite sure of the brand, but very much looking forward to using them.
These seem to be layered stickers. I haven't looked at them that much yet.
Some trims, ric rac and lace.
The view of the tin when I opened it.
The top of the tin, I didn't realize it was so blurry, I'll try to take a better picture.
I am so happy I participated in this swap, I love all the things Wanda sent me, this also makes me excited to participate in another swap like this.

Stuff I've been up to

So, lately I've been going to garage sales and looking to find some things for the Treasured Tin swap that I'm in.
I bought this tin at our local antique mall, and thought it would work great for the swap. Of course about a week or so ago I thought maye it was a little small, so I emailed the hostess and asked, and she said I could always include more things in my mailing box, so I did. Plus it was my swap partner, Wanda's, birthday on friday and I wanted to include some extra things for that.
So here's some of what I sent her. You can see the tin in the corner, there's a couple boxes of gum with some witty sayings on them for those days when she's had it with people. The bag is full of some bookmarks I bought at a garage sale this weekend, there's another smaller tin near the top filled with some frames (can't be too descriptive as I mailed this all off yesterday and I'm not sure if she'll read this), and there's a vintage piece of fabric on top. I will go into more detail when I've heard that she's received the package.
This is another sneak peek for her: some lace, buttons, books and other things.
