A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion Hobbies, Crafts and Creativity CRAFT SWAP 7~~~WHAT DID YOU GET???

They really are rolling in today.

Loz you were right with your prediction of 3! (at least 3 anyway)

I'm thinking 4!

Alrighty. I got some real cool 3-D scrapbook stickers, more stickers with butterflies and flowers on them, a whole slew of pretty glitter pens (I'm a doodler so that is awesome!), a lovely stationary pack with a magnet, pen, stationary, and a cute little journal/book, some jolly ranchers original flavors (which happen to be the only good flavors), glue sticks, and she made me a cool bookmark with beading on the end that hangs over the top of the book - I already stuck it in the book I'm reading (it's a cookbook but whatever! ), and a cool little pink tin box full of earth-toned brads, and a cool little suncatcher she made that she calls "fairy drops". I'm putting that in my window above the kitchen sink!


Here is a close up of the items she made, the bookmark, fairy drop, and the pink tin. Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention, she decorated the top of the tin with some small pearls and a... a.... cameo? I think that is what it is called. A silhouette of a woman.


Last but not least these rub-ons. I actually had them in the cart when I was buying Loz's stuff but DH gave me "the look" so I put them back. And now I have them again!


I love everything, thanks so much, Wendy!

Thanks Wrennie for showing me a big picture of the scarf! VERY pretty!

Oh boy, s'more boxes, s'more pictures!!!

Oooooh pretty!

Great things Sarah!! Love the little pink box and the faery drops!!!

Very nice gifts!!

Yay, more great stuff!!!!!! I'm really loving all the handmade stuff too BTW. Very nice.

I was wondering if anyone has a PO Box and maybe their stuff is sitting there waiting? Did we all use a house address?

I think it's great when someone buys you something you almost bought yourself.

All those gifts look great, faerywatcher did a great job on picking out what to send!

mine is a house address.

Oh, I forgot.

Should we have a thread that shows what we all do with our new craft supplies?

I'd like to see what everyone does.

What does everyone think?

Good idea Glenda!!

Loz, I just noticed your "I miss my Mom" sig line!!!

I'm scrapbooking away with mine.

Shirley I miss my mom a ton...especially when we talk on the phone at least twice a day and I usually see her once a day. I'm glad she's having a nice time though.

I got my box!! From Jesica! Wanna see whats inside??

Here is everything! It is all perfect, and very 'me'. I almost got myself that exact beading board but decided to wait since I had it on my wish list!

crafting papers, little flowers and ribbon for embellishing,a cute snail magnet, kitty fabrics, calicos, TWO kinds of really cooooool yarn!!!

This is what she made me!


and a cross stitch kit

and a bead picker upper, never saw such a thing.


the fabrics

and a Willy for my garden!



Thank-you Jessica!

Those are great gifts!!

A bead picker upper is not something I've ever heard of but I bet anyone who works with beads would love to have one.

Such a wide variety of gifts too.

And the first Willy of the swap! He's adorable.

Those look great, Wrennie, and you got more cute kitty fabric, too!!

What a great job, Jessica!

ahhhh...more great stuff!!! I'm excited for you Wrennie!!!
I'm in love with your willy!!!!
And I'll have to find or make me a bead-picker-upper!!! Cool!!!

What is a bead board? Do I want to get me one for my beading?

Well thanks! I'm glad I was the inspiration for the idea, but you went far beyond!!!!! That was really exceptional, and now I will have to steal YOUR idea!!!

Great box, Wrennie! good job, Jessica. Everyone is doing so well filling in those wish lists.

Shirley and Tina got Willies in cs #5



YES. Its in my first pic between Santa and Willy. It has grooves you lay your beads in to lay out your jewelry without a sneeze or bump rolling them across the table, down the hallway, into the heat duct.....

That is a good reason to have one, Wrennie!!
I'll be sure to get one!!!

bout 5 more peoples to go wonder who will get theirs tomarrow!!

oops not Tina, Triss that Tina posted for.

Wow Jess did a great job picking stuff out.....That Santa is too cute. Jess, I'll take a Snowman like that!

I'm hoping my person gets theirs tomorrow, it has to be close considering it was mailed Friday.
