Swaps & More Swaps

 

So this photo of yummy goodness is what I received in the Pretty Little Pouch Swap I participated in.  I absolutely LOVE everything about it!!!  My partner was Megan.  Boy...did she hit the nail on the head with this one.  It was perfect!

And here is what I sent:
(the back)

And the front.

 

My partner for this round was pretty quiet,
so I had a hard time figuring out what really made her tick.
 I ended up looking and looking at the mosaic she created for the swap
and took a few of the things she liked and incorporated them into the pouch.
(which is why I stamped on the pouch, "My Favorite Things")

I was very pleased with how this came out.

And I have to tell you....
after I received my pouch,
I see why she was so quiet!  She was busy creating the perfect masterpiece!
And boy how I seriously love the pouch she made for me.
It's perfect!

It was a great swap!

I also participated in Amy of During Quite Time's swap Table Talk Swap.
This was loads of fun too!  I love making those fabric baskets.

This is the GORGEOUS basket I received from Jana (aka megmormel on Flickr)

 

I think she figured out I like pink!
(thank you SO much, Jana!!)
I mean, seriously, pink bubble gum to boot!!!
How rockin is that?
SWEET!
But didn't she do a beautiful job on the basket?
And the cut little notebook holder?
I'm in love!!

So I bet you're wondering what I sent,

Well....

Here it is!

 

Along with the basket I made a hexie case from Amy's pattern I purchased here.
I do need to make another one of these.
For the fabric I used Sunkissed and Denise Schmidt's Flea Market Fancy.
I LOVE it!

I hope you've been able to do something fun!
