Swaps

Joined Amy's Christmas ornament swap again this year. I even started the ornaments!! It's always so fun, sort of like a secret Santa. Check out the adorable badge she made for us. Love, love, love.

Creative Spaces

I love checking out the Creative Spaces hosted by this lovely lady. So many great inspirations and really cute ideas!! Sharing my space this week with some Christmas ornaments I'm making for a swap. Finally joined all the quilters with their hexagon love. These little bitty things take some time! But they're really quite addictive. Maybe after the other holiday chaos settles down, I'll try to make some larger ones.

Going visit the other creative ladies on the list-later!

fourth of july

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!

these are tags i made for a tag book swap with jessica. we received our books thursday and they are so much fun!!! each tag is so different and i love them all! i used these alphabet cards and added a phrase or word to each. thanks to jessica and all the creative minds who participated!

hope all of you have a happy and safe fourth!!

breakfast club

wednesday morning breakfast was eaten at a little cafe' named demitasse which is fortunately connected to an antique mall.  we had fun posing and browsing and, of course, purchasing things we NEED. 

p.s. not this hat!!

guess what's all wrapped up? yep-it's my vintage apron swap for marian of dreamweaver fame. she creates the most gorgeous woven scarves. she blogs from the land down under(that makes me want to sing!). i hope she likes all her goodies. the swap was hosted by garboodles (who i am so glad decided to keep blogging) who is a multi-talented woman herself.  

swaps

a sneak peak at my package for the button floozie swap. i love vintage buttons and have quite a collection. sometimes it's hard to use them but i guess i can't keep them all-especially since i keep acquiring more and more!

this is a poor quality picture of my first paper inchie swap. i did two fabric inchie swaps and loved the inchies i received. there's so much talent out in this blogging, creating world and i'm a lucky recipient.

tomorrow i hope i can start working on a few other swaps-i started keeping a tablet to try to organize the due dates of them all. g'nite!
