I'm having a difficult time coming up with pictures of the last swap.. please send me pictures if you havent already. and if you have sent them and havent seen them posted in one of the last three posts, please send them again. the beautiful "strawbeary" above was made by Diana . Isnt she adorable! Diane swapped with Stafanie Both Diana and Stafanie live in Germany! Are these two bears cute or what!! I love them both and would love to swap with these girls myself! This precious little doll was made by my friend Mystele (you'll hear more about her below!) Isnt she the cutest!? Mystele is a very talented lady! Her doll went to SAmmy. I showed you Sammys adorable needle felted two posts ago.. if you didnt see it you need to go back and look!

OK, so there are about 10 of you I havent heard from or recieved pics from. And I'm just cant wait to see what you made!! so please girls email me!!!
so, now, see this sweet little painting? Remember those little birds I made a couple posts ago? I swapped with Mystele the birdies for this picture she calls songbird. I love it!!! and, the dear sweet Mystele also sings and sent me a CD of her singing! I LOVE it. Very beautiful voice she has.. Thank you sooo much mystele..

a couple weeks ago, Mica from Garboodles posted the cutes darn little case that she had bought. It was a little suit case that someone had beautifully altered and made into a little craft case. Ive been obsessed about it since.. so over the weekend I went "thrifting" looking for two old cases, which I did find! then my daughter Jen and I went shopping and bought papers and trims to put them together. Here are pictures of mine. Shes not finished with hers yet, but when she is, I will post the pics! this was so much fun to make! I may have to go find a couple more cases! I made this little bear years ago.. In fact it may be the first miniature bear I ever made.. I just threw the nose, hat and collar on him to spruce him up for the box!

I did not make this other tiny bear, its a little ganz cottage collectable, I just dressed him up a bit.

Well thats all for now ... I had something else I was gonna say, but Its late and I've forgotten...
Yay!! its memorial day weekend and a three day weekend.. OH HOW i am looking forward to it!! And we're finally supposed to get some warmer and sunnier days!!
I'll be back!! Till then, Have fun!

What a fun swap that was! You were right, I am totally hooked now! I just sold my first miniature in my shop yesterday too. Although she was about 8", it is hard to go so tiny!

Viv, what wonderful photos. I was never into miniatures or smalls until I started making my 'themed wreaths', now its an addiction. I look for everything "little" now. I love it.

I love the suitcase you made! The colors are really alot of fun. You are very talented and it was fun to see the talented artist dolls...sigh, so cute! We are "blonde" sisters and I mean that in a GOOD WAY! I was also thrilled to see you have my true life down the road fried on your sidebar, farm chick-tania!
