Hello, Crafters.
I hope you’ve enjoyed a fantastic weekend!
As promised, I have the five swaps I received from training am Saturday
to share with you! The first swap was made by a new demonstrator
who joined in January 2018. Sally Murray came to the event
with two other demos, all the way from Portsmouth
– the journey must have taken them about 3.5 hours!
The swap I received from Sally is this hand-stitched note book!
Although I was able to talk to Sally for a little while, I wasn’t able
to find out very much about her and her bookmaking skills.
The
white lines on the spine of the wallet are stitches where

This colour chart was a swap from Andrea Nichols – I bet she was
pleased there were only six of us swapping! This is a great idea
but there’s an awful lot to so. Many thanks, Andrea – I’m so pleased
I was there on Saturday to receive one!
This was made by my friend Charry Wijers, who joined
Stampin’ Up! the same time as me Inside the bag is a sachet
of Hot Drinking Chocolate Powder! Charry used the Better with
You and the Very Vintage Stamp Sets, as well as
Brushos for colouring. Many thanks, Charry – I love a cup of hot
drinking chocolate before bed!
This Impossible Card is from Rebecca Willmott, who often comes
up with brilliant ideas using cats. I love the design of this card and
so pleased I’ve received one of them! Many thanks Rebecca!
Last and by no means least, this is a Thank You Card front swap.
Unfortunately, Rachael hasn’t put the list of ingredients on the
back of her card – just for once, I can’t complain as I didn’t even
put my name on the back of my swaps! Many thanks, Rachael!
That’s about it from me today. I hope you have a great week,
and until tomorrow, happy crafting.

What FABULOUS swaps! No wonder you were so blown away with them! Love Andrea's colour chart idea and just may have to 'borrow' that one myself! Thanks so much for a great share, Jan!
Wow what a lot of lovely swaps you have received, this would be my favourite part of groups/get togethers etc. The swaps are what we get inspired from, thank you for sharing them with us too Jan. :O)
