"craft it forward" received!

As I posted previously, I joined a crafty project, "craft it forward", couple weeks ago. (see the post here)

I sent out my work like a month ago (not sure if it has arrived safely or not; kind of worried... :P), but didn't receive anything until last week. As the idiom said, "good things come in pairs", not one, but two unexpected packages arrived in my mailbox on March 30.

One was sent from San Diego, USA, by a girl called Jennifer. In the small white package came three delicately made cards, and all cards are about the same theme: mushrooms! (YES, I LOVE MUSHROOMS!) I can feel the care and efforts put into those cards; they are really nicely made, with colorful illustrations on each of the cards and plastic wraps to protect them. Thank you, Jennifer. :)

Another package lying in my mailbox was also mailed from USA, but Durham, NC. It contains a modern orange thank card made by the initiator of this "craft it forward" project (follow him on twitter: @dudecraft). I love the fact that he combined materials other than paper to put together this card, and the cool slogan he put on the envelope: "MAKING SOMETHING CHANGES EVERYTHING." His package was truly a surprise to me; I didn't expect to get a thank card at all.

Actually, I think I really need to thank him for organizing this project. I love working with my hands, and knowing that my work can pass along some love to others makes me even more content. Because the project, warmth is being transferred to and from various spots in the world, embedded in the creative works of the project participants. :)
