A few weeks ago I did a patriotic ornie swap with a few girls. we each made 6, one to keep and five to send. these are the ornies everyone made. it was a fun swap! the one above is from one of my newest bloggy buds Kim kenward.
This last one is by Linda Ruthie from linda ruthies aprons! Lots of talent and lots of fun. The girls should all receive their packages tomorrow I hope. I was going to wait to post this, but I couldnt.
This is what I sent the girls. I love making those little faux cupcakes!
IN other swap news, I received this bug collector doll with his butterfly and catapiller friends from Jan D in a bug swap! Who da thunk, I would ever in my life be involved in a bug swap?!
Do you ever look at your life sometimes and think.. REALLY??? how did I get here?? I think it ALL THE TIME!!!
Anyways, I love the things that jan sent me. I showed you a few posts back the ladybug pinkeep and the bumble bee doll that I sent her.
And lastly, this was not from a swap, but something I won!! and believe me when I say, I never win anything! But I had a lucky day last week when I won this most awesome ever skully belt buckle for halloween from my very adorable friend Lulu! Isnt is freaken cute!?
OK.. thats it for show and tell for this morning. I may be back later with something else. Hubbys goign to the motorcycle races for fathers day, so i think some of us are going to the lake and were all meeting back her tonight for a steak dinner and to celebrate fathers day!
Happy day all!

Thanks for hosting this patriotic swap, Vivian. I can't wait to fill my sunroom tree with all that loveliness!
Have a lovely Sunday!
I can't wait to get my swap stuff! I don't have much to decorate for the Fourth, but this may be the start of something! Thanks again.
Such diverse & WONDERFUL patriotic creations!!!! And, WOW! Jan couldn't BE more talented. I know a LOT of people have no idea that Jan has extremely limited vision. I couldn't even BEGIN to do all she does, AND does so well, with her eyes. But I think her fun and amazing spirit comes through in all of her great creations! Have SOOOO much fun today, Viv! And tell your hubby HAPPY FATHERS DAY from your goofy friend Kai!

hugs
Yes Viv, I wonder at how we all ended up this way. We are all just little girls refusing to grow up in my mind and we are having the time of our lives.
Wow,
Beautiful things. You lucky girl. I have to go back to find the post on the faux cupcakes. So cute!!!
Congratulations on being a winner too, Yaaaay!!

Oh what a fun swap! I'm always drawn to Americana and patriotic art. These ornies are all so wonderful! I can't believe it's almost the 4th of July. Where is June going? Hope you're having a wonderful day.
Cheers,

Vivian,
I'm not seeing how to get in on your swaps but I would so love to. My email is craftmomdawn@yahoo.com if I could get in on one. I love the Christmas one you did and the Easter basket one, those are right up my alley. All your other ones looked adorable and fun too. Loving your 4th swap that you just did.
Thank you.
Dawn
So many beautiful things!
OMG Viv! These ornies are gorgeous! What fun swaps!
Enjoy decorating!
Oh, it all looks so fun! Makes me want to make some 4th decorations! Hope you had a great Father's Day!
Happy Day to you also...m...

Hello! I came to visit after seeing your fabulous faux cupcakes on Kim K.'s blog. I've been wanting to make some for awhile, and was absolutely thrilled to see your tutorial. Thanks for sharing!
Wow. What a haul! These are all so neat! It'll be fun to put them all around for the holiday!
