Ooooh, I love receiving packages in the mail, meeting new, wonderful people and hosting swaps! It has become an addiction with me. I just finished hosting "The Kid's Summer Swap" which was TOO fun! Met the nicest people! One person in particular was Beth and her two little cutie pies.:-) She is SO creative and knows how to sew! This always impresses me since I am scared witless of sewing machines. I think this dates back to an episode in Girl Scouts. Perhaps therapy is in order? Hmmm... Anyway.... It's time to host a swap for us "grown-up" girls! I've been playing around with ideas such as an ice cream color swap, Fall colors swap (love Fall!), Halloween swap, etc. Can you tell I am ready for cooler weather?? Let me know what you think about my ideas and if you have any creative ideas of your own. Maybe a mystery swap?

Oh, I am loving that header picture! Makes my mouth water! I did a couple of Halloween swaps last year, I think one was for just general Halloween stuff and the other was to make a Halloween hat. Both were really fun since I didn't have too many Hallween decorations! I am totally hooked on swaps so I will probably join in, whatever you do!
ReplyDeleteI will join! I actually just shipped out your package this morning... I wanted to get it done since I have a crazy schedule the next 2 weeks!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a fall colors swap. I love fall colors. =)
You are too nice! My 1st sewing project was 'culots' (clam digger type pants) in the 6th grade. I didn't know the fabric had a right side and a wrong side. My one pants leg was one shade of blue and the other pants leg was a 'different' shade of blue!
ReplyDeleteAnyway - ooohhh - fall. I love autumn. That way Halloween could be part of it but also autumnal colors or things.
Great idea. I'm in no matter what you do. Beth
Speaking of packages... I got mine today from you!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGirl...You are in big trouble for putting that extra little gifty in there. But trouble or not I will cherish them forever. Just beautiful Lori. You make stunning jewelry ~Even more beautiful in person.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
I will write you more in my E mail to you tonight...
Hey... I'm totally in for a swap...I think a fall swap is in order. Being the stores are putting their fall things out on display already! A mystery one sounds good too! If you need any help with putting on the swap let me know!
P.S. I had a bad experince at Girl Scouts too...What's that all about?
Thanks again for the earrings~Love them!
Robin- I am so glad that your package arrived safely and that you are happy with your earrings!:-) Thanks for your sweet comments. You are such a dear friend to me.:-) Lori
