Swaps

My first experience with a swap was great, I loves what I got and so did my swap partner. Well not the same with my second swap :( I joined the FP swap and made the green umbrella etc. and still have not got anything in return! My mother has not received anything either,I'm def. more bummed for her cuz this was her first one and she made the most beautiful swap gifts! I just don't understand how you can receive something that someone put their time and love in for someone they don't even know and not send something back! Totally understand that life is unpredictable but a quick email that it is going to be late or something is not to much to ask, I don't think. I hope that no one joins swaps with zero intentions of sending something back, that would be soo wrong! Do I sound angry?...LOL! I'm mostly mad for my mom :(

Since I am on the subject of swapping...haha, I will be sending out my swap partners bunny on Thursday! and I am finishing up my stuff for the Seasonal swap that I am in and will be sending it out this week sometime too! I have had so much fun making everything, it has really kept my mind off of all the stuff going on ..but that's a whole other post! lol
I will post pics of everything in the next couple of weeks as to not ruin the surprise for my swap buddies :) Check back cuz they are really cute!

Bunny Swap

I started working on my stuff for the bunny swap last nite! I was having so much fun that time got away from me and I stayed up waay past my bed time..lol.I will post pics as soon as my swap partner has gotten her sweet little bunny! Don't want to ruin the surprise just in case she ever visits me here :) You can go visit her sweet blog at www.123lavenderlollipoplane.blogspot.com

I'm Finished!

I'm finally finished with the stuff I made for my swap partner! I have been stressing about it a little because I did some painting and I am NOT a painter...LOL! I woke up at 5:30 in the morning and everyone was still sleeping and I thought ...ok....I need to do this cuz I need to finish and if I mess up I'll just make her a new one. Well it turned out better than I gave my self credit for , don't get me wrong I am no artist when it comes to painting but it had the feel that I was looking for ...wheeew! I can't wait to send it to her,I hope she likes it.

As you can see I am pretty new at this whole blogging thing and I have been poking around at other blogs and there are soooo many cool ones out there! I really need to sit down and write them down so I can put them up here on my blog so you can check them out. There are some fantastically talented women out there! I'm jealous that some of them get to create for a living,very cool :)

Craft Swap

I am in the Free People craft swap ,this is the second one they have done and this one is travel themed. I am almost finished with what I decided to make, just a few more touches and I'll be finished. I just have to find some cool little stuff to put with it and decide how to package it up pretty! Sooo I am brainstorming because what I made is kind uv big and awkward for sending. I soo hope that she likes it! I'll post a pic of the progress when I get home today or at least I'll try and get it done...lol! I need to go and buy some paint and some brushes tonite. If anyone gets a chance go and look at the Free People Travel Swap on flickr , I think you can still go and look at the FP Valentine swap pics on there...it's got some really pretty stuff on it. Everyone involved can post pics of what they are making on there and there are alot more people involved in this swap so it should be pretty neat to see everything!
