Received my spooky package

So proud of myself. I'm not such a "techie" but I just used Photo bucket for the first time!

Many, many thanks to the sender of my package. My kids loved playing with all the Halloween goodies and I can't wait to play with the beads. I'm trying to work on a Halloween bracelet and will try to post pictures soon.

That is a gorgeous package

Absolutely spooky and lovely... And 2 beads, not just one!

Lots of fun goodies ! and I love the way the pattern of the glass and the silver beads echo each other.

Lovely things. Well done on your photos

I love your avatar by the way....that is a lovely version of Jane Eyre

A lovely package you got there, the skull straw is awesome and the two beads you got work so well together, love all the goodies you got and well done with the pictures

So it does, excellent swap. Happy Halloween.

....and so many great Halloween Things!! Enjoy and have a happy beadplay!!

Yay! I'm so glad you like it! As soon as I saw the two beads side-by-side I felt that they had to be sent together

I hope the screaming straw isn't too annoying

This made me smile! I am no techie either, it is great that you learned something new and were able to use Photoshop and do so well! The package is such fun and the two beads go so well together I would never separate them. I like the orange cloth they rest on with the beads, is it long enough to use as a wrap? Looks like a complete bracelet to me!

As many have commented, the two beads are a perfect combination and gracefully echo each other. They will be a perfect addition to my soon-to-be-assembled Halloween combo. Thank you so much, Strike, for such a generous gift! And no, the screaming straw is not annoying. It's really clever and the only annoying thing is my two kids fighting over who gets to drink their milk with it….but that's my fault, not yours! The kids each get two gummy "eyeballs" in their lunchbox as dessert for the next few days which is terribly exciting for them.

By the way, I knew I was in the right forum when Cloverbead recognized my Jane Eyre avatar reference. There have been many excellent versions of Jane Eyre but that version with Zelah Clarke and Timothy Dalton is, to my mind, still the best.

ooo! lovely swappy!! yummy yummy!!

All that is super spooky, gelatin eyes too. Beautiful beads and package !

What a great treat package, and beautiful beads! And a screaming straw to boot! (I have never seen one of those before!)

What a spooky package and great beads!!!

Outstanding package!

Stunning package and I love love love the beads you got!

Great spooky package, so many lovely treats in there. Is that a set of Halloween stick on nails? Halloween is a great excuse to do fun decorations on nails.

The beads are a fabulous pair, they work together so well.
