A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion Hobbies, Crafts and Creativity ~CRAFT SWAP 8~ who is next??

I just think the things you make are so darn cute...and would sell like hot cakes if you ever decided to go that route.

I hope my person gets theirs today.

That is very cool Glenda! You have some wonderful ideas with your baskets! I have to tell you that I use mine all the time!

Thank you Loz!

I hope somebody else gets theirs today! I want to see more pics!

I got my package today!!! I could not wait to get it opened, I felt like a kid at Christmas!!!

Loz, THANK YOU so very much for all the wonderful things, you did GREAT!

I will post pics a little later, as I have just gotten home, and need to get organized.

Shirl

Oh Shirl I'm glad you got it and I'm glad you like everything!

Cool, More pics acomin!

Oh boy!!!

Well, while we wait for Shirl NL, I will show you the basket Glenda made for me which I put a Pothos in. The red and green fabric you see is what she lined it with and then pulled the corners through! Very clever.
Look at the little round knob feet. I love those!!!!



Don't worry!! The plant is sitting in a plastic dish

I think we have the same countertops.

You know I looked all over for sock yarn. I really did. Even had Mark helping me look. I'm pretty new to scrapbooking myself so I'm just jumping in and not looking back---it's a lot of fun and there's so much cool stuff to buy to do it.

BTW, the magnets....one is white and the other was done on cream fabric...I didn't want you to think one was dirty or something.... And I sell Avon and I like to spread a little Avon love---that's my all time fav. shower gel they make.

I love bamboo chimes, glad you do too---I think they sound soothing.

BTW, I like your tile work a lot.

Very nice Wendy!!! Lots of fun stuff! You did a good job Loz!

Wendy, did you already have the magnets on your frig??

Cool stuff! I am afraid to look at scrap booking stuff yet. I have too many WIPs (works in progress) and plans on the next projects to tackle something new.
You have good taste, Lozzie Lou. And Shirl is a lucky lady.

I also love the tile in your kitchen!

Ohhh...is that the magnets sitting in front of your Yarn Mate??!

You know nobody has called me Lozzie Lou in a LONG time. I sorta miss it.

I love these swaps, seriously I could do one a month and be happy---it's so exciting and fun to give gifts.

If I had more time I would've made a much bigger full sized cross stitch for you Shirl...I hope that magnets were okay.

on the counter tops. Good taste we have! Our counter top is a quartz composite ( solid slabs). I did not want granite because of the sealing requirements every so often.

I know you spilled your coffee on the cream colored magnet and tried to wash it out . I would never think it was dirty!

Poor poor Mark! I am sure he was rolling his eyes as he looked for sock yarn! No biggie. I would not have started on them right away anyhow. I have to learn how to do them.

Thanks on the tile work. We had this house custom built, so we were able to work with the designer, and do things the way we wanted them done. I really like the way it came out too.

OK, I am no longer going to hijack the thread.

OH my goodness!! YES the magnets are wonderful! I smiled when I saw them because both sayings touched my heart! Don't fret. I loved everything

Shirls??? Who in the heck are you talking to? ( Wendy)

Yep they are on the fridge now

I don't know Shirl, I have been confused all day!!!

I KNOW that NL is Shirl also...I'm just 'spacy'!!!! Sorry!!!

Oh, Jayhawk and Loz those gifts rock. I hope I can get in on the next gift swap, it's so much fun.

Nice stuff Shirley~NL~!! Those yarn caddies are a good idea. I love the little dragonfly candle holder!

Very nice gifts Shirl! You did great Loz!

good morning!! sorry i am so late with this post--the kids beds are in my computer room--so once they get home from school there is not much computer time for Aunt Carol.

So it is me & Penny--I will wait patiently for the mail to come this AM!!

NL~Shirl--super gifts!! Loz you did REAL well!!!

NL/Shirl, you're gifts look great. I'm sure the magnets will be treasured for a long time! Good job, Loz!

Shirley, that is a cool basket that Glenda made. She really is a talented lady!!

Wendy, my cat is all black too, which is why we asked. Black cats are my favorite! We got ours shortly after having our youngest, kinda an apology to the eldest (sorry you're not an only child, have a kitten ) and she named him "black kitty" which is now Blackie. Such an original name!

black kitties are my fav too!

i wonder if they will get their boxes today?? i hate to ask, but i thought penny either left or got--you know---is that the same one??? she won't be able to post when she gets her box then.?!

Oh COME on mail people!!

oooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh, thought i read up in CH that carol got her, did ya, DID YA?

Niope--I Had Triss!!

BUT__I got mine today!!!FROM PENNY!!!! yes I did--

and i took pictures--AND I have them loaded onto my 'puter BUT----I cannot get them to load onto photobucket--SOOO here is a list of all the wonderful she sent to me.

Gardening scrapbook stickers (3 different sets of them)
"Tiny cat" scrapbooking Brads--very cute
a Christmas Card making kit
all occasion (flowery) Card making kits (2 different ones)
Double-sided Scrapbooking tape(good-I just gave mine to my niece to use)
A Paper Embossing kit
A jar of mauve-like paper flower embelishments
2 embroidery hoops--in just the sizes I needed too!!
1 5x5 cross-stitch Kit (Dragonflies)
1 8 x 10 Thomas Kincade Church cross stitch kit
a Paint pallett
3 tubes of Acrylic paint---lilac, Cobalt Blue, & Cherry.--perfect!!
A glass beading kit--i will love learning tomake jewelry with it

And an adorable "Welcome" sign. it has a cute butterfly on it--

It will be just perfect to use in the summer heat, as it is light weight. (As it turns out, just yesterday my outdoor wreath fell due to its weight on the sticky hanger I had on the door---Great timing penny!!!

And am I correct in thinking that you made the paper that you had written your note on to me?? I loved the lilac color of it as well.

I hope I did not forget anything--it took 2 pictures to get it all recorded ther is so much. Thank You so very much Penny! I Love all my gifts!! They are just perfect!!!--I hope to get the pictures posted tonight when I can get some help.
