More Swaps

Sorry I have been MIA, I have been busy. Last Saturday I did a craft fair, which was a big waste of time. People were buying all the super ugly tacky stuff and not my cute stuff. Sunday we went to the Jamestown Parade, it was fun and FREEZING! The last few days I have been dealing with sick kids! I think Gabby will be going back to school tomorrow and Graham slept better last night, so far Gwen has only had it minorly.

On to the fun swap goodies. I still have one swap left to finish, it is overdue. Thankfully my partner is running late also!! PHEW



This darling stocking and card are from my partner Heidi. This was for the vintage Stocking swap hosted by Priscila. Heidi made this stocking isn't it soo cute. It looks great on the pink walls in my kitchen. You can see what I sent Heidi here.


She also sent me this darling box, which I think she made and two pretty ornaments for my pink themed tree. The picture doesn't do the box justice, it is sooooo sparkley!


I think she made these darling tags also, they are ADORABLE!


More pretty glittery goodies, I have the happy holidays hung in my kitchen. I will be posting pictures of my holiday decor soon! It is taking me forever to get them all up, new house and all.



Here are the goodies I sent to my partner Stevie for the very vintage Christmas Swap hosted by the above mentioned Heidi.
I made the magnets and the candy container.
The salt shaker is filled with glass glitter.


More of the goodies I sent her.

All Things Pink

Below is a project I finished recently, it is a "Green" project. I had everything I needed for it laying around the house. I got the idea from Martha Stewart living.
Click on the picture to get a closer look. It is made of newspaper, a knitting needle, half a foam ball, spray glue, glitter and some vintage Christmas foils. It would have been a pretty fast project if my paper cutter wasn't broken.

Another lovely hostess gift for Vintage Pink Christmas Swap.
Kana Conger made this darling mitten ornament and journal for me. I love them!

I can not thank Priscila enough for all the wonderful gifts!

I have had a couple people ask if I am planning another swap and the answer is: I am thinking about hosting one in January! So stay tuned.

Hope everyone has sent and received their swaps. If anyone is having problems please let me know. I received my lovely package from Prisilla, she spoiled me rotten.
