wow!!

that rose purse is awesome. i love seeing how much time and detail is going into everyone's swap items. you can really tell that everyone wants to make their partner happy and really cares about what they are producing. thanks and props to everyone!!

oohhh ... i'm almost done & i can't wait to send. 

i love that pillow ... pin-up chic!

yea, the bag came out pretty cute. i had this old piece of patchworked vintage material and the lilly pulitzer style trim and thought how great the tiered ruffles would look. it came out really great so everyone, say a few prayers and send a few good thoughts to the swap gods!!

got mine from stiching sister ... yeah! cool ribbons and stickers and stuff, oh my!

the bag mayviss got was the blue base that you see, i had told her that i loved the color so she kept it, which is cool.
the revamp was the cool fuzzy white material she added which i think is so cute. my little girl calls it my cookie bag, as in cookie monster. 

so i've received my first two packages and can i just say that my swap partner ROCKS !!!

i know you're all envious ...


the first package


my flowers on my jacket
the flowers are felted wool and i have had tons of compliments on them already


my second package which i LOVE !!

the purse was a major wish on my list and my partner did an incredible job! i was having a REALLY bad day yesterday so when this arrived it made me so happy and feel so appreciative. thank you!!

also....

the bag i revamped for mayviss has gone mia - as did the first one i sent for her to revamp. so, until the usps hopefully finds the bag, and i know this is usually not doen until after the bag is received, i wanted to post pics of the bag i revamped for mayviss. i put alot of work into it and am very happy with the results so i just wanted to show i am NOT a flaker!


the outside


the inside

so i've been meaning to get these pics online for over a week. mayviss revamped my bag and it is so cute ... plus she sent some sweet extras.



sorry it's taken me so long to say thank you and post this. our moderator kind of got on my case about it, and reflecting back i guess it was needed, so i apologize if i haven't been following protocol. i've only been involved in a few swaps so far.

again, my apologies and i hope everyone can firgive me!

 

one day and counting ... *as she sips her pinot*
