January 2013 Birthday Swap - Discussion and Gallery

What a great present!  A new toy to play with

BTW ... it's so fun to see the same people in the January swap again!  I'm busy checking out the lists and I'll probably be ready to obligate to a few somethings on Tuesday (when I finally have a day off!)  Can't wait to start making presents

I've been reviewing the few lists that are on here, and sadly, I don't think I could make anything on them!    I will keep on looking, though.

I might not be able to craft for a few days, however.  While getting ready for work yesterday morning, I scratched the cornea of my left eye.  I went to both the hospital yesterday, and the eye dr. today.  The eye dr. said I could read, watch TV, etc...but the short time I've been on Craftster today has really irritated my eye.

So we'll see... or not, I guess!

Just sent my survey in...and I can't wait to post my list!

Sorry to hear about your eye Miss Barbara ... I've done that before and it sucks!  And as far as our lists go ... I'm sure you could make us something we didn't even know we wanted and we'd we thrilled all the same.  I've gotten things in swaps that I would have never thought of before - that's the fun of swapping sometimes.

Welcome back, stellato_escuro ... I know you've done this one before!

I'm about to make my first claim.  Had to wait til the last minute, since my first few days of the "crafting time" will be eaten up spending time in Disney World ... drag, I know    Running the Disney Half and Full Marathon, so we decided to take my daughter and granddaughter along for a few days.  CAN'T WAIT!  Spent the last couple days making a Snow White and Prince Charming running costume for the marathon ... me and my man will be too cute  ... so I can't start crafting for the birthday swap until I get back!  (Although I do plan on taking some crafty project on the plane).

I'll keep watching Craftster from my phone ... but it's a hard site to navigate on a 3 inch screen!

Thank you for the well wishes about my eye!

I reviewed the lists of the two people who have not been claimed yet, and I claimed stellato_escuro.  I did end up finding something I could make, perhaps my messed up eye had something to do with it??!!

I can't wait to receive my birthday package, I'm saving it to open on my birthday...my 40th!

stellato_escuro...I'm almost done with the birthday claim for you.  Did you realize that the crochet basket is HUGE??  I'm going to have to fold it to be able to ship it.  I just hope it retains it's shape once it gets to you.  It's so big I told my (smallish) 8yo DD that I was going to put her in it for a nap!

Filling out the questionnaire now!  I don't think I've participated in one of the birthday swaps before.  I always forget until its too late! :x

Got back from my mini vacation - it was fantastic!  Got lots of work done on my gift for kaybeeeee while flying   After a couple days of work I have the weekend off, so hopefully I can get the rest of the gift finished and make another claim 

[gingerpeachy]

I just made my first claim!  I'll get to work tomorrow
