The past few weeks has been filled with so much fun and excitement with all the wonderful swaps that will be going on leading up to and during Silver Bella. These swaps are just a few of the exciting things about Silver Bella, besides the oh so talented teachers, fellow Bellas, vendor fair and of course being surrounded by so many lovely ladies that truely "GET YOU".
Since we had a few more months of preparation, planning and creating, I signed up for not 1, not 2, not 3, but 8 swaps (1 of which I am hosting!). I just couldn't help myself so many wonderful, intriguing swaps that expand your creativity and all the lovely ladies participating in them. So I thought I would share some swaps that are already done and on their way...
The Vintage Paper Swap... I just can't get enough of all of the beautiful vintage papers, journaling paper, postcards and wallpaper so I had to join. Just gathered a few of my vintage paper and then wrapped with a small goodie of vintage paper for the hostess for putting together this swap. So fun and quick!
For the Needlework Sampler Swap, I finished these 3 needlework samplers. Each a little bit different, but the same. I so enjoyed returning to stitching after months of not picking up the needle and thread...
It was relaxing and inspiring not to have to follow a pattern and to be able to design and put together something from scratch.
The nice thing about these small samplers is that they are easy to take with you when you have a few extra minutes during lunch, waiting for kids to be picked up and while riding in the car.
And what swap would be complete without a little goodie?
