I love reading about other peoples swaps. I've always seemed to miss them though so I had an idea. Why not do a mini swap with my fabulous crafty sisters? It would be such a treat to get a surprise packet once in a while. So, we all agreed for a February parcel based on the theme of "Hearts". Theming the swap seemed such a good idea at the time but you end up wracked with insecure choices and worry over them liking it. In the end, I opted to just have fun with it and got a bit carried away I must admit!
My parcel contained:
1-A felt notebook cover (for all those designs and crafty ideas)
http://www.craftstylish.com/item/41496/how-to-make-a-button-embellished-notebook-cover2-A "Mug Hug" from my "Cute and Easy" crochet book
3-Herbal Tea bags with paper heart tags (featuring sentimental notes)
4- Heart Cookie (Christmas box- couldn't resist)
5- Fimo heart buttons- Not my best work but not bad for a first attempt.
One of my sisters posted that this was a monthly thing. God No, it took me most of the month to do these! I will do a separate post for my sisters beautiful gifts. It was like getting a hug in the post my girls- I look forward to our next challenge!
