New Swap!!!

I just signed up for this swap this morning. I think I might be slightly addicted to these swaps...is that a bad thing?

Updates!

Here are a couple of pics of the goodies I sent out in my recent swap. You had to decorate an Altoid sized tin and fill it with some goodies. I decided to turn mine into an ornament. Gotta love the Crop-a-dile tool to punch through metal like butta! I was inspired by my swap partner being engaged, to make this a dreamy and sorta romantic inspired tin. Then you got to fill it with little treasures. It's amazing how many little goodies you can stuff in a tin of that size.

I also finished my tags for my other swap. Very interesting to completely finish both sides of the tag. It was alot of work, but really fun. Here is a tray full of little witches. I'm glad I picked up this old lunch tray at the thrift for 99 cents. It has already served it's purpose well. And here's a peak at the other side of the tag.

I can't show you the other goodies I made yet. Want those to be a surprise to the recipients. I just mailed them out on Saturday...a couple more days and then I can show you.

FALL!!!!!

I love fall! The leaves, the craft shows, snuggly clothes and comfort foood....love it all. Also, leads many of us, atleast me into a more creative zone. I've made some little goodies lately, but you can only have a sneak peak, since the recipeints haven't seen them yet.

First, a peak at my Altered Treasure Tin Swap. This was fun, I think I will do more of these for Christmas trinkets. Guess I better get to eating those Altoids. Yep, that's all you get. More later after my partner gets it in the mail.

Then there were these spooky little goodies. I'm getting geared up for Halloween already. I just found out that they are showing the original Night of the Living Dead outside at the park in Evans City (where it was filmed) on Halloween night. Ewww.....creepy!!!! I will show you more of these after I ship them out.

Now for a little peak into my crafty zone. These are a couple of areas that provide inspiration to me. Although, the room is not complete yet. Hopefully, the cool weather will also get me into organizing some more. This is the view directly to my right at my table.

Then above that area on the wall is this little shelf that I have all of my pins stashed in little jars or old jello forms. I love those little jello forms, I have a stash of them...hehe

Yard Sale!!!!!....scrap yard sale that is

A couple of posts ago I told you that I signed up for the a scrap yard sale at my local scrapbook store, well this is a different yard sale in addition to that one. A couple of my dear girl friends in the same situation as me got together and decide to purge our bulging supplies and have a yard sale of all crafting items.
