Hello Friends!
Noooo, it's almost the end of January
and I still have Christmas posts to catch up on! :O
I just love the swaps in my MAMA group,
they are so fun and the people are wonderful!
This is a Douze Jours de Noel
(Twelve Days of Christmas)
swap
where we made gifties and gathered vintage/French-themed goodies
for our partner.
These are my handmade gifties:
A closer look:
Marie Antoinette chandelier crystal...
Hand-dyed seam binding...
Altered matchbox....
Embellished snowflake...
Charlotte clothespin doll...
Bottlebrush Christmas tree in salt shaker...
I received gorgeous gifties from my partner Lisa,
which I will post next time.
This is a Bingo card pocket stuffed with goodies
that I made for a swap in my Paper Soiree group:
And this is an altered bottle I made for a friend:
A pink one for my friend Brenda:
Whew!!
It's always hard for me to let go of Christmas each year...
But this year I had another big event
to keep me busy in January, which was
MY BABY GIRL's BABY SHOWER!!
Well, she is not exactly a baby :)
I will soon post pics of that wonderful event.
I am enjoying the Swap for ALL Seasons swaps;
January's theme was "Thinking of You", and the color blue:
I was very excited to finally use that little wooden
"thinking of you" tag that I've had for years :D
We make a card and tag to fit the theme,
and send color-themed goodies along with:
And now let's get on with the Valentine's Day crafting!
This is an altered candy box I made for a swap:

which I will post shortly!
