Ooh! I'm especially into those pendants, mushroom pincushions, and notebooks.

And I'm going to see if I can make up my mind on an idea, and make an example... if so, I'll finally be sending my info!

[sugaree]

wow!  so much great stuff!!!  this is going to be a super round!
i have my eye on that mushroom pincushion and painted lady notebook

[dinkime]

i will post pictures tonight -- i have been making cool cards to use -- i will post a sampling, though...


i am loving all the sample so far!  i have a list of my faves but it is too long right now, lol...so i will have to make some decisions...

[beccas_song]

Yay! I am SO glad to get in on this! Everyone is making such lovely things. Hope you like what I have to offer. Pics will go up tomorrow.

STENCILED FABRIC BOOKMARKS

I have been thinking about what I could make for this for several weeks now. Finally came up with something I think (hope!) people will like. I've made some before as gifts and people seem to like them! I use freezer paper stencils on strips of fabric and then sew a backing on. Some have beads and ribbon added too. I don't have any pics of ones I've made yet, but will by tomorrow. My stencils are already cut out, just need to cut my fabric.

Ones I'm planning to do:
Chuck Norris face (w/ the words Chuck Norris doesn't sleep, he waits)
sillohuettes of three ballet dancers
three marshmallow peeps in a row
four mushrooms in a row from Mario video game
sillohuette of karate kid
sillohuette of girl on swing
butterfly
sillohuette of Beetles Abbey Road cover
Bob Saget from Full House
Alice running after the white rabbit

I thought I'd do a wide and odd range of them to appeal to many people. Also, if more than one person wants a certain one, I can make more of that one. I'll have pics up of at least 3 of them so people can see what they're like by tomorrow.

I'm doing 5 Sets of Kawaii Shrinky Charms. You get six charms, my own little drawings but certainly based on other cutesy, Japanese-inspired, kawaii things found on Craftster and beyond.

(End up with these and aren't into the cute? Let me know, and I'll see if I can do other Shrinkies instead).

I'm also doing 5 Stencilled Owl Wall Arts. They are all on a 9"x12" canvas. Here is the first one, fuchsia with a black owl:

Other than this one (hopefully someone wants it!), I will do custom colours of background/owl.

The owl is so cute and I know my duaghter would surely steal the charms if I recieved those. 

beccas_song-  You bookmarks sound great, I'd love an Abby Road one.  Are you offering a set of two or just one bookmark? 

[dinkime]

here are some samples of the cards i am doing -- most of these so far are thank yous, but you will get a mix of plain notecards/friendship type ones and thank you cards...

Okay - pictures!

I will be offering 5 mini-book pendants:


They're about 1.5" tall, and have a small jump ring built into the binding for use as a charm.  I'll be working from stash supplies, so you can indicate a preferred color for the binding and I'll see what I can do.


Also, 5 kanzashi hairpins - your choice of one large (about 3.25") double-petal kanzashi like this:


or a pair of small (about 2") single-petal kanzashi like these:


The large flowers will be on jumbo hairpins, the small on regular size.  If you'd prefer yours with a pin back, I can probably do that too.  Again, stash supplies, so tell me the color or color combo you're after and I'll do my best.

I'll be offering 5 travel jewelry rolls. I haven't made the ones for the swap yet, but here's one I made as a Christmas gift.



It's hard to tell in the picture but it has loops for bracelets/necklaces and a button down part for rings.
