Swaps & sharing

I got my book of Alice tags last week, Karla did such a great job with this swap.  This was my initiation into swapping, & now I'm spoiled. My little packet came wrapped in vintage Alice pages, along with a tiny bottle to attach to the book.

Love all the little charms & ribbons dangling around.

The little 'drink me' tag is from junk-girl studio & the sepia toned with the sweet blue button is from my pen-pal Beth.

This one is from the divine Miss K herself!

A very cool, but anonymous Mad Hatter.  Whoever did it....I LOVE him!  I have a bad feeling that I forgot to sign my tags too. I was so worried about getting them sent on time.  If anyone got a crazy chicken tag, I made it.

Kathy of A Spectacular Mess used black, white & grey with lots of stitching. I love how this one looks amongst the bright colors of the others.

Even the back looks great. Thank you Karla for all of the hard work! I hope we didn't wear out your sewing arm too much.  I want you to host another swap sometime soon.

Speaking of swaps, I'm hard at work getting my Petite Inspiration Boxes ready to mail.  I'm having a blast gathering goodies for this one.  I asked Michelle Palmer to make some special little treats for each box.

Boy, did she ever.  Aren't they wonderful?

And this isn't a swap, but I had to show you what Lori made for my sweet Lily's Easter treat.

It is the teeniest, sweetest thing I've ever seen! She will scream when she sees this bunny sitting on the top of her basket.

While digging through my studio looking for treasures to put in my inspiration boxes, I found these images.

I found this ages ago, a blank Western Union sheet just for Easter!

This is my very favorite Easter card ever.  I just love the colors, so springy.  I've use it for everything from banners to pillows, hope you can find use for it in one of your projects.

I'm using this page for my swap & thought you might like it too.

I know this seems unthinkable but..... I am getting rid of some sacred back issues.  I know, I know, how can I??? It's just gotten to a point where my mag collection is taking over the house. I swear I need a storage unit to house them all.  Like the Library of Congress. Half price books will not pay anything for them, so before I donate I'm offering them to you.  If anyone wants them they are yours if you pay the media mail postage.  I have a bunch more too.  BH&G Special Interest like Do It Yourself, Creative Home etc. Let me know magazine hoarders!
