Charming, just charming

I was fascinated with the charms that some ladies brought on the cruise to trade. So, when Jan said she would host a charm swap, I jumped right in..........never had made a charm before in my life, but I do make dangles for my tags. Then, at ScrapGoods, one of our members wanted to host a swap & I suggested... CHARMS!! She took me up on it and so here are the charms I have made for both swaps.

They look alike, but for one swap the wire is gold & for the other swap, the wire is red. I attached lobster clips before I mailed them off. Thank you for looking & enjoy.

Biggie Paper Clip swap

Just found this picture of a swap I did last year. We used biggie paper clips. One we had to make a flower & the other was whatever we wanted to so. So I make a paper rose & a bad hair day clip.

Rolling Pin Recipe swap

I'm in a swap in my aMUSEme group & we are making rolling pin recipes. Here's the front of mine...I just love black, red & white!!


And here is the recipe inside.


And the back, stamped with a stamp my friend Marjie made for me.

1st SG swap of the year

Since we are not getting a BBB (beautiful blue box or big blue box) from SG for January, some of us decided to do a BBB swap. We signed up and were paired up. This BBB (only it's in a brown box, not blue) will be mailed to my BBB partner, Julia, tomorrow. There's lots of fun stuff in there, but I'll wait until she has received it to reveal all the goodies I'm sending.

Shhhh, My secret sister mini-book swap

At SG, I am involved in a mini-book swap. We've decided to keep the person we are creating for a secret. But, I can post these pictures of the book I've created for her. This is the cover. She wanted a flexible binding so she could have a "lumpy" book. So, I chose ribbons.


The next two photos are a couple of the pages.


I also included a pocket to keep special stuff.
