Results of the Jim Henson Swap

I just got my goodies the other day in the Jim Henson Swap I signed up for on Craftster. My partner was IHeartsTheArts (aka Gretchen) of Springfield, MA. This was such a fun first swap and actually kind of stressful because I'm guessing what will be enjoyed by someone I've never met before (but am friends with on FB now).

Too funny! I mentioned that I always liked Ernie, although he was a part of "Sesame Street" and I always preferred "The Muppet Show,"  Gretchen sent this activity book and crayons. I should break this out at work sometime and see what kind of reaction I get. :)

Googley eyes! What an awesome idea! These bad boys are going to bet a lot of use! I never even thought about buying them before, and every great Muppet has to have good eyes (a la Cookie Monster). And two Pez dispensers: Yoda and R2-D2 (There were multiple puppets in the Star Wars Trilogy, but Yoda was the only one Jim Henson was involved with).

Now, they guard my desk at work when I'm not around. The candy was quite nice too. :)

A great appliqued Kermit reusable bag!!! I love this!!!!

And the best for last: a Shrinky Dink bracelet of Beaker, Professor Bunson Honeydew, Gonzo, Janice, Miss Piggy, Kermit and Animal! The colors are so great and bright! Gretchen got a lot of detail in this bracelet. I wore it to work today to show it off.

I sent Gretchen's package today. Once I know that she received it, I'll post pictures of what I made for her. I can see how these swaps are so popular!
