Unless my partner for the newbie's swap receives in the next few days I might have to miss out on this one.   

aw, i hope it get's there soon so you'll be able to join! how do you like the whole swapping experience so far?

wow! i love everything, it's so great! i love the bead/wire work of the tree and the pin up girls! those are so cool. and great idea for the hp bookmarks. you did a fantastic job catherine!

alright! we're up to 14 participants! i''m excited about this swap. can't wait to start crafting =)

Okay so, I woke up this morning semi-early (what I consider early when I don't have to work anyway!) I was trying to go back to sleep when the husband burst through the room shouting "mail call!" and handed me my package from flasheyashley! Yay, I totally wasn't expecting it today!


Oh, before I go on, my themes were:
skulls
zombies
coheed and cambria
hello kitty
juno


group shot


journal to go with my co&ca theme. it has a mixture of different types of papers (awesome) and some of the pages have lyrics by co&ca!






the most awesome hello kitty wallet ever!


i'm so jealous of ashley's wallet/purse making skills!


zombie pins! how cool is the michael one?!


hair clips! i <3 hair accessories.

and for my juno theme, the coolest tote ever!



complete with juno pin.


inside,pocket. you can't tell, but the white fabric as little white stars all over it! this bag will be perfect for grocery shopping =). thanks so much again ashley! everything is awesome!

this swap was so much fun, i'm already wanting to do a round 2! i have 2 swaps going right now, but once those are mostly complete, i think it's time for another one. there's two themes i wanna keep, but i've already thought of three new ones!

what an awesome package catherine! everything's wonderful, i especially love the tee! and george is so cute

LOVE that painting!

awesome package, carnabystreet. those gloves are lovely and that pillow is great! you did a wonderful job on that becs!

okay, so since the swap is winding down, =(, i just wanted to thank you all for all the nice words! i'm so glad you all had fun. this was the very first swap i organized and you all have made it such a fun experience. i'm super glad that everyone was happy with their partners! that was the one main thing i was freaking out about a bit. i was so sure someone was going to come to me be like, "uh....no. can i have another partner?" or something like that. so thanks again everyone, and i'm definitely down for a round 2 in the (near?) future! 

I did the mothers days swap and loved it. And I'v ebeen avoiding this bored knowing I'll sign up for too many swaps....but I stumbled here....should I do it?
