What I did today

Well today was one of those typical days where you were busy, but didn't actually get anything done! lol

I went with my friend Khris for a drive up to the Adelaide Hills to check out a few 'craft' markets.....having spent absolutely ages finding these places, we came to the conclusion not to bother going to any of them to sell our stuff at. We haven't given up entirely though, and have plans to go find some more ones she comes back from gallivanting up in Queensland! lol

I haven't got any pictures to add to this post, but better no pic than no post I reckon!

I'm thinking about either hosting a swap soon, well maybe in August or September....any suggestions as to what sort of swap???? I'm currently in a F-R-I-E-N-D-S swap, and two Xmas in July swaps, although one of those is only a really small one ($5 value) but it all counts.

I've only been in two other swaps this year, and they were an Annie Doll swap....and a heart swap...so I'm not really the best for using my imagination for swap topics......perhaps a pincushion swap????

I'm hoping I get a few ideas, and then perhaps what I can do is number all the ideas, and select one of them via random.org and whoever's gets picked will earn themselves a small prize.....yet to be decided on.

In the pipeline, I currently have 9 Gracie dolls cut out, partly sewn....and OMG aren't I beating myself up over that....guess who forgot to trace the faces on before she sewed the bodies up? Yep, ME, ME and only ME.....I can be such a klutz for someone who likes to think she's fussy....lol

Ok, don't forget to leave a comment and tell me what you think would be a good idea for a swap for later in the year, and then as to whether you would participate or not so I can weigh up whether it's worth it.

Hugs

  2. Depends if it needs to be a craft swap or not.

    I've done a few swaps and will be organising more in the future. Here are some of my ideas.

    R&R - sending something that encourages the receiver to relax and take some time for themselves. It could be a DVD and microwave popcorn, or some bubble bath and some candles.

    Kitchen Swap - make up a recipe book filled with recipes your family love and ones that have been passed down.

    Other ideas: Handbag swap, wallhanging swap, softie swap, fat quarter swap (make something/s out of a fat quarter)

    Good luck with your swap.

    Love your money box btw. Very cute!
