Whatever Swap...

Saturday, March 6, 2010

Recently I took part in the "Whatever Swap" from The Smith Family: We Are More Than Conquerors... The premise is that we were supposed to send a package of "whatever" valued at at least $15 to the person who signed up below us... You choose the theme... shop or create... it's all up to you... It turns out that is harder then it sounds.... I got wonderful swap partners...

Carrie from Wonderfully Sew Knit  sent to me (click HERE to see what she received from her partner)... "Wonderfully sew knit" is not false advertising... she made me the sweetest Spring Theme items...

Here is everything in the box...
So fun to open!


She made me this sweet guy...



Just look at his sweet face...
(She included the little nosegay... I had him old them to show you.)

There was these three cute boxes...
filed with surprises...


The Blue one contained this little homemade chick...
...too cute!


The pink one had these hand knit "hand warmers"
These immediately became Sparky's...
as she "tried them on... and they never came back...
(Carrie... you made her day too!)


The blue one had Jelly Beans!
In front of the jelly beans is a little "tea pouch" Carrie made...
(teas included)


Way down in the bottom of the box where theses cute coasters...
How Fun!!

I feel so spoiled!

What did I send... you ask?

I got Kathryn from KV Creative Designs

Well, mine just went out in the mail Friday,
so I don't want to ruin the surprise...

How about just a peek?...

Here's another...


Friday was also the ship date for the "Alice in Wonderland" swap I'm doing from...
My swap partner Bryanna from The Canary's Cupcake gave me some hints last week...
so here is her hint....

Illuminating... huh?


PS...

Late Thursday night I reminded Sparky she is supposed to be my Saturday guest contributor....

I guess she forgot....

But did she have anything ready?

Apparently she had a book report, history report and biology test this week and YEC (Youth Evangelism Conference) in Nashville this weekend...

Excuses... Excuses...
Can we look forward to a guest post next week?

I'll take that as a yes...

Thanks  for listening,
