Alright! Here is my delicious swap that I received from LibraryNerd:

Image

Here is a breakdown of the goods:
candies: organic chocolate covered espresso beans! , candy corn, almond toffee crunch chocolate bar, coconut curry chocolate bar (one of my fave things EVER), hazelnut crunch chocolate bar and assorted novelty mints, including a Chuthulu tin :i2:

2 bottles of locally made hand lotion, both of which smell divine
a hand made hat/neck warmer which is soooo soft
beautiful accent dreads with lovely beads and wraps
quality skull beads in little photo boxes
2 bars of handmade soap, also deliciously smelly
plastic skull necklace
glow in the dark critters
party glass
skull bracelet
skeleton glovies
star wand
glow bracelets
Olympia patch
Dia de los Muertos flip book
body glitter
2 rings,one skull and one polka dot

Needless to say ( but I shall say it anyway), I feel TOTALLY spoiled.

Yeah!!!
So happy you like everything :i2:
Especially the curry/coconut chocolate, a company in Seattle makes that. I LOVE it and I'm always trying to get my friends to try it but most of them are grossed out by the idea of chocolate and curry together. I'm going to try cooking with it, making a choco/curry sauce, could be delicious kind of like an Indian mole(choco/chile sauce from Mexico).
Glad to hear it perked up your week, random boxes of pressies are just prefect for making a crap week better.
Excited to get your package and see the cool stuff everyone else swapped too.
Happy Halloween :i2:

I received my package from xxKinzixx yesterday right when I was feeling low and not very Halloweeny--it totally saved me! The amount of work and detail in the picture frame is AWESOME. These pics do no do it justice at all.

I got
- voodoo potion hand made necklace
- handmade kandi bracelet
- 1 skull hair pin 1 web hair pin
- a handpainted, very detailed mini-coffin
- a super sweet resin and tulle hair clip (my favorite!)
- very detailed and gorgeous picture frame

Geez , STILL didn't get a package huh Vex ? -

I doubt I'll be taking part in any swaps from this point on .
Its kinda discouraging when you see several people in various swaps not receive their packages.
Wow Vex, that really sucks. Hopefully something like computer issues occurred and you aren't really being screwed out of a parcel. Sadly I am not optimistic.

Pretty Dreadful- Unfortunately this kind of thing happens much more often than it should. I was put off on swaps for a while and now only participate if it is something I am really interested in. :i7:

Yeah, unfortunately it happens. In the dread swap I did last year, I asked for a contingency incase someone didn't receive a kit, as it'd gone walkies in the post. This time, I've insisted on getting signed for proof of postage. it can be done for international post too. Just a thought.

Yeah, shouldve got insurance. It's just easy to get caught up in the excitement of a swap and not be thinking..oh,i need to get insurance incase I get screwed :/
It's a shame. The colour swap I did was so great, so I was more than happy to go in for the halloween one.. even though I was having to send to america :/

My name is down for the sweet and savoury swap tho...so if that doesnt go well it'd be my last one..and I'll prob send it recorded

I think that in future swaps we should ask everyone to be willing to chip in £2/£3 if somebody doesn't receive their package. :)
I know I'd be more than willing to as I hate to see somebody not get theirs.
