This swap is my favorite <3

I'm Amanda. I'm 35 years old, mom to 3 boys, a dog, a cat, a fish & a turtle. I live near Tampa! I'm a stylist in the day time & at night (well, all the time) I try to keep a house of 3 adults and the aforementioned children fed & running smoothly.

my "want" board includes all the things I'd most like to get. I tried to include all sorts of projects of all different types.

I just now saw the question about drilling through the tiles. I didn't. I used the end of a compas to make a pretty good hole and added a dot of e6000. I cut the eye pin/ head pin on an angle then use small pliers to insert it into the hole and push it down quite a bit further.  I don't think I would be able to drill through something that narrow myself, but I'm sure some person with a steadier hand (& tinier bit!) than I have has.

That makes sense & what a cute back yard combo that would be to do both!

The copper coil inside holds a tea light and the bottle acts as a wind screen similar to a hurricane lantern. There is a loop in the wire for hanging which is what it is being held by. I don't see how it could be upside down, but I'm gonna laugh if it is!

I got this beautiful package from Koreena while I was away on vacation.  Life happened to her and it was delayed, but the items made up for the delay (and then some) I appreciate her communication and follow through and WOW what great items!

Rainbow arm waters/fingerless gloves from my pintrest (the length is PERFECT!)
A tiny matching purse with the cutest rainbow button art closures
Yummy treats and a Body Shop raspberry lip balm
Thank you!

I got this beautiful tote from texts rapper
I will be using it today for the first time & am expecting many compliments as it is fantastic.  Thank you very much for a beautiful & well made tote <3

glasskicker --> AmandaBL for a wine bottle lantern 3/26

I got this gorgeous lane ten from glass kicker
Looking forward to hanging it out by the hot tub.
Thank you very much!

So glad they made it intact!

I just made a claim so I would have a project for my day off tomorrow :-)

Im Amanda in the US  2/0/0

I claim gameMom42 for a "I have 2 mommies... Deal with it" baby onesie & the scrabble tile earrings.

I love vibrant colors and black. Neutrals and neons aren't generally my favorite, but I do have a few items shown in the neutral tones, so if it seems the way to go, I'm sure I will like it :-). I am a stylist, mom, wife & girlfriend living in central FL. I have a small dog, cat, various fish & a turtle.  I love people. I love to read. I love craftster swaps & am excited for this one :-)

Things I would love to get. Feel free to consider all of these as inspiration rather than things I expect to be duplicated.

I use cheap wash cloths in place of paper towels. A dispenser like this but no more than 12" high would be great.
