good morning and swap update

Goodmorning blogville friends! I have about half and hour before I need to get ready for work so I thought Id do a quickie post.
All my valentine packages are mailed out now. I tried to dress the packages up a bit so that they would be fun to recieve in the mail. I had a clients little girl in my car yesterday and she saw them and thought they were so pretty and she wanted to know who they were for and what was in them. She was so cute that I think I'm going to buy something for her and her little brothers for valentines day and wrap them up special ! I dont think the boys will much care, but she will be tickled! I dont usually work with the younger kids, I get all teenage boys, but these are the siblings of one of my boys. Anyways..I just have to remember to do it now!

The egg hunt swap is now officially closed! I think we have a great turn out and the hunting should be fun.. there are 36 players! I was just thinking about having to mail 36 packages back out! eiy yie yie!! I might have to do it in a couple different trips.. the post office will hate me! ehh.. but its their job.. right? I just cant wait to see what everone makes!
so get started on your eggs girls.. and please be sure they are mailed to me before the end of the month.. or by march 2nd at the very latest. This is so important because Ive got to recieve them and have time to swap them out, repack them and mail them back.. (plus I'll be goign to florida for a week ). ALso.. dont forget to mail the return postage with your eggs. my over seas girls, there are 3 of you.. I have to figure out how to do this still. I just mailed a package to australia and it cost me 16.00, so we may need to bump up the amount for postage a bit for those three, maybe to 10.00.

I guess I should get moving now..., though I would so rather stay home and play!! I have so many easter things to start on for a kecias swap!

oh.. one more thing... Im officially sick of winter now..
thats all. have a sweet day!

lookie lookie what I made.. and we have a winner here!

I'm on call for work this weekend, and luckily its been pretty quiet.. I've had enough time to make this little kitty in memory of Jasper. I also cleaned my craft room up a bit.. I need more shelves in there! too much stuff! I managed to mail out three packages yesterday, so that cleaned up some of it.. I had swap stuff all over waiting to be mailed! I mailed a package to my partner for Dollys swap, Jullie in Australia! cant wait for her to get it! I also mailed out a package to another swap partner Stella, from the tokens of love swap and I mailed out a third package for a special one on one swap to someone special! I still have two left to pack up.. I dont have my partners name yet for the bits and baubles swap.. I think we get those soon.


I recieved a package today from my buddy Natalea kandefor. She hosted a valentine ornament swap that there were ten girls in, we each made 10 ornies and sent them to nat, and then she sorted them out and mailed us back one from each girl. they are wonderful ! I love every single one. I cant post them yet because I'm sure the others probably havent recieved them yet. Nat doesnt live far from me, so I probably got mine first. Oh... what the heck, I can give you a little sneak peek! this is before everything is opened! What a fun fun swap!



OK.. the winner of the little teddy bear valentine pinkeep is ::: Mary Isabella!! yay Mary! now I just have to tell you that I did not make that little bear, it is a littlest gund bear but I doctored him up and dressed him to match the pinkeep! congrats Mary! My husband picked the winners name. He does come in handy every once and awhile! I hope you like the pinkeep Mary.. please email me your address!


And one more thing.. the egg hunt.. there are 33 girls in the swap .. I will keep it open through monday so if there are any last minute sign ups, this is the time to do it. It'll be fun to see what everyone makes.
I just want to thank you all again for the sweet encouraging support you sent me this week.. It was so appreciated!! I miss him terribly, but I'm ok. (Hugs to you all!)
