Craftster has many thing for many people. Craft tutorials, Craft-alongs, Craft challenges, and one of my favorites: Craft Swaps!
I recently finished up a swap and she received it yesterday. I also received my package yesterday!
Our theme was Energy Healing. I sent her:
and this:
along with more stuff inside the box and a crochet cozy for her cards. This was my first time wood burning and I LOVE it. I bought a wood burner just for this swap - it was pretty cheap though ~ $25.Let me show you my FAVORITE thing she sent me.
It is a journal cover. And she made EVERY SINGLE stitch by hand. I absolutely love it. It is a cover that holds a regular sized journal inside - so I can replace the journal when I fill it up!She also sent me more amazing goodies like, fabric:
and energy rocks!
and beads, and maracas for Zekey! (and more stuff, actually)In the middle of doing a swap and putting so much time, money, and effort into a package (in the midst of chores piling up, projects accumulating, and money short) - I always vow that it will be my last - until I receive my package. It is so great to receive something you KNOW was made with the same time, money and effort. It kinda keeps calling me back.
But I am seriously going to wait a looooong while to do my next swap. Well, I will try at least ;).

But what if there is another doll swap? :D
I hear ya on the time and money, etc.. I have backed off participating for a while since I had so much going on and was not feeling overly inspired.
I love the multimedia painting you did!
Thank you!
lol! I know, right! I think if I stay off of the boards (and therefore not be AWARE of the doll swap), I will be okay.
I might need to check out that site. I haven't done a swap like this in a while. I used to do them through blogs and Ravelry, but I've been kind of slack on that.
All the items are wonderful!
