Swaps

I have been so neglectful to my blog lately! I've been busy and haven't had a lot of time to create. I'm also participating in several swaps, so most of my creativity is going there. Here's a peek at some of them.

My friend Julie and I did a casual little junk swap. Here are the goodies she sent to me.

I received three of those little bottles - each is filled with a different color of vintage sequins! She also made the adorable card, which I neglectfully cut out of the photo.

Next up is My So Called Junky Life's bead swap. I was partnered with Heather from The Speckled Egg (who happens to be hosting the next swap I'll tell you about). We were to send a focal pendant and 20 beads to our partner. Heather did not disappoint. Look at this beautiful, vintage, yummy goodness I received.

This is only a portion of the beads she sent - I already started working on stringing many of the beads into a lovely necklace. I'll share that once it's finished.

Next is The Speckled Egg's Paris Petite Inspiration Box Swap. I'm still working on these, so here's a peek at the work in progress. The box:

And the contents:

And finally, I'm participating in a handmade "girly" swap with some of my scrappy friends. Since I haven't mailed this to my partner yet, here's a teeny tiny peek at what I made.
