Craft Supply Swap

I have decided to host a craft supply swap!
Here is the general idea. Each person who signs up will be assigned a partner. You will then pick some items from the guideline and send them to that person! You will then anxiously be awaiting your package to show up in the mail!

Okay so here are the guidelines:

Last day to signup/drop out is November 15, 2009
Date items must be sent by:November 30, 2009
Number of swap partners:1
Description: Craft Supply Swap

I love craft supplies and getting something new always makes for a great day!
For this swap, you will pick three things from the small category, and two thing from the medium category to send to your partner. Please only send like new or unused things. Exceptions include buttons and beads, or anything that can be re-used. (especially older or more unique ones!). Of course things like scissors, hole punches, stamps, etc are considered re-useable items.

Small Category (pick three)
10 assorted buttons
20 assorted beads
1 small container of glitter
1 spool of thread
1 small pack of polymer clay
10 assorted embellishments
2 things of embroidery floss
Pack of sticker sheets
Other items that would fall in this category
Medium Category (pick two)
1 pack of colored pencils
1 small pack of felt
1 craft idea book
1 small pack of scrap booking paper (minimum size is 6x6)
1small thing of perler beads
1 small pack of ribbon or fibers
1 small pack of fabric (minimum size is a fat quarter)
1 stamp or roller
1 pair of scissors
Other items that would fall in this category
Be creative! If you look at their profile and see some other type of craft supply they might like, go ahead and use that instead of something on this list! Just make wise decisions on whether or not it belongs in the small or medium category. These lists are just for ideas.

Crafting

I am so sorry I have deserted my blog! I have been so busy the past few months that this had to take a back seat to everything. But now I am going to try to do better. I have decided to dedicate my blog to my crafting. So how about we see what I've been up to lately?!

I have been fortunate enough to have a couple of pajama days over the past few weeks. Just to clarify a pajama day for me is a day when I get out of bed and stay in my pajamas all day long. I don't leave the house and get to do what I want. And of course that means I get to craft!

I have really been into up-cycling. I love taking old clothes or "ugly" clothes and turning them into something new and fun.

Here is an example of some ugly clothes...........

And here is what happened to them.............

OMG!

OMG! I forgot to get a Sunday paper today! What in the world was I thinking! You guys are going to have to tell me what I've missed out on! Or maybe you shouldn't that way I won't be so sad about it, or you could tell me so the not knowing won't drive me crazy! I can't believe I forgot. Hopefully all the changes in my life will even out soon so that I can get on a schedule of sorts again! I'm sure that was the problem, not my memory! :)

Wednesday Morning Coupon Run!

First I would like to apologize for being gone from my blog for 10 days! I can't believe it has been so long. I started a new job last week and did training out of town for 4 days and I'm really not adjusted to the new hours yet! But anyway......

Kraft Coupons Have Reset

The Kraft coupons have reset at coupons.com! Be sure to print them while they are available. They do say limited amount available. Also it sounds like there are going to be a lot of great coupons in the Sunday paper this week.
