Helen's Glamping Adventure!!!

 Jill you are The Zombie Queen !!! 

Thank you so much for my AMAZING swap package ...... not only Helen herself, but her tent and glamping site too !!! Your attention to detail is unbelievable - just look at each of those pebbles handstitched on.

As if that wasn't enough, Jill sent me some Pioneer Woman goodies (Yes, I am obsessed with all things Ree Drummond :-)), a cute T Shirt, a planner, and the most awesome skull jar filled with trinkets that I will most certainly be using in future zombie creations.

Jill also included the cutest poem - the poems have become one of my most favorite parts of our zombie swaps.

Thank you SO much Jill for everything you sent - your package made my weekend.

Thanks Val for organizing another phenomenal swap - you're the best !!!!

Zombie Island


Zombie packages are so much fun! This one arrived as I was finishing up my last year of teaching, so I’ve was slow to open and post the pictures. Sorry, Jeanne, the package was wonderful! Everything was in a beach tote and wrapped in the cutest flamingo wrapping paper. All of the tuck-ins were flamingo or had a perfect island theme for me. She even included a creative paper bag cocktail recipe book. I’ll be trying out some of these as I float in my pool this summer. The tuck-ins alone were a great package, but then Jeanne created the cutest zombie for me. Really I think this girl is my twin, except I have straight blonde hair.  Honestly my pale white skin looks just like that after too much sun. 😊 Look how cute this little zombie is!

Thank you Jeanne for an amazing package. I love my zombie and all of my goodies!!!! Thank you!

I have named her Zinnia...... The Zookeeper!

 My fave summer hang out is the San Diego Zoo and I received the most incredible Zombie Zookeeper!!  


Every little detail is amazing - from the bird on her hat, the feed bucket and that angry zombie-virus- carrying hippo that must have turned her!  I am so in love with the clothing - she is truly a future heirloom to be cherished!

And then the "tuck ins" - I had to include the wrapping in the photo - the leafy print paper carried through with the zookeeper theme!  


So many fun things - animal print book marks, crafty supplies for my scrapbooks, wine corks (labeled as "hippo poop" - lol!  The little elephant already has a home next to a brass elephant in my bedroom - perfect!

And then there was this...... a paper bag recipe album for cocktails!  Hello!  It's like my partner knows me IRL!!

Road Trip Sue . . .

Meet Road Trip Sue.  
Anyone who has received a doll from Debbie, knows that they are absolutely amazing.  This zombie is perfect!!!  One of my vacation choices was a cross country road trip . . . stopping at random places.  To be honest - this was the vacation I was hoping my swapper would choose.  :)
Road Trip Sue was upset that her vacation was disrupted by zombies . . . but she at least was prepared with a bag of drinks, snacks, and a map to help her find her way . . . I LOVED the map!

The detail of Road Trip Sue is wonderful.
Her camera . . . her tennis shoes . . . her jeans even have flowers down the leg
and pockets on the back. 
This whole package is so much fun!  An Area 51 mouse pad, peace sign beads and patch, monster and alien fabrics for future projects, and some fun alien glasses . . . an alien ice cube tray.
I am curious what my grandkids will think of these.  :)
Thank you so much Debbie!
I love our zombie doll swaps!!!
