Swap Received......

Some days I just get the best surprises in the mail!! Today, I received this lovely scarf/boa made of wonderful fibres - with a matching pair of earrings!! what a lovely surprise and thanks to EllenT from Swapbot. I have really enjoyed the swaps I have done on swapbot and have received some lovely items.....

This past weekend I worked at the Heritage Park Festival of Quilts but it was a dismal rainy weekend. Unfortunately, quilts could not be hung outside - but there were many many wonderful quilts to look at in all the old houses. It is a wonderful exhibit!

Swap Received...

I received the nicest swap today. It was a mother's day swap and all the lovely goodies that I received from Amandalee are wonderful! The book looks hilarious and I can't wait to read it... perhaps with a cup of tea in the new tea cup. I have joined Swap-bot and I really have enjoyed the variety of swaps that I have been in. This parcel came in handy today cause we still have bad weather!... but the good news is that sunny days should be here by Friday.

I am also in a block swap and received two blocks this week - both are civil war prints and will go great with my Kansas Spirit quilt. The swap goes on throughout the year and I should have a nice size quit when it is done.

Wonderful Swap Parcel ...

I received this wonderful swap parcel today from Amanda C in Ohio. It has some lovely reproduction fabrics in it which will go towards my Kansas Spirit quilt. What a great surprise on April Fools Day!!

LOVELY GIFT...

received from Yiwan in Singapore - I participate on Swapbot and this was a surprise swap. The clutch purse is made from quilty type fabrics and inside there are several compartments. I was pleasantly surprised when I opened up my mail!

I want to plug a fellow Canadian's website - Pacokeco - she has a site on Etsy.com that sells paper crafts for scrapbooking. She is amazing - I have bought a few things from her and her products are very professional. I am just starting to scrapbook and I love to make cards so her products are quite useful. I also asked to make some custom quilt paper crafts for card making and she did a wonderful job. Check out her Etsy site!
