Swaps are in the mail!!
I signed up for three different Swaps this month. That means five different packages to create. Yeah!! I did it! I knew I would but still. So, here's a sneak peek at what I shipped out. I don't want to show too much. I want my buddies to be surprised.
This was so fun and so exciting but also extremely stressful. Don't get me wrong, I WILL do it again (every chance I get)!! It's only that these were my first swaps and I really wanted them to be good. I really want my swap buddies to be happy.
So, I stressed, and stressed, I made stuff, then made different stuff. First I tried to make something in a style I thought others would like, then I went back and made them again in my style. I was sooo much happier when I was true to myself.
(But, that's true in every aspect of life right?!)
Well, now I'm off to make some things just for fun. I've been dying to make some of the beautiful Valentines I've seen in tutorials. I'll post pictures when their done.
O.K, my lesson for the day (just in case my kids read this):
Remember, always stay true to your self.

Hey-I was wondering where do you go to sign up for these swaps? How do they actually work- I mean how do you know who to swap with? I would really like to check them out and just maybe participate if I can. I think this would be so fun. Daisy~

Hello, I found your blog through One World One Heart and since we are pratically neighbours I thought I'd drop by. I'm not entering your lovely draw as I am trying to sort out my stuff and am trying not so add more goodies to the pile but I just wanted to say Hi.
