Craftaholics Anonymous hosted a Christmas in July Swap. I love swaps, so I just COULD NOT resist. Seriously, my mind was saying “Enough already, Kandra” and my fingers were clicking the “Sign me up” button.
We could send anything made with our crafty fingers to our partner, in turn someone else would send us something too!
The gal that sent to me doesn’t have a blog, but she did have facebook and we’re friends now on it. That’s pretty cool. She sent me this awesome magnetic board.
My daughter promptly stole it and put it in her room. I think those little button magnets are just too freakin’ adorable!
My partner has a blog, but no posts on it. I can understand that! But she sent me a little intro to who she was. She even teaches scrapbooking sometimes at JJPaperCo. She also loves to sew and collects pin cushions. I was already in the pincushion mode with the Flickr Scrappy Pincushion swap (I haven’t posted that yet… Oh wow!) , so I made my partner a pin cushion. I gave her one of these treasure boxes. The other one went to a dear friend of mine at work.
All in all, a pretty stress free swap and one that was enjoyable! It is always fun to get stuff in the mail – even if you goofy daughter steals it!
