Jar Swap

City Crafters Jar Swap

I joined the CCCB jar swap and was partnered up with a delightful lady from  the Netherlands, her name is Stella Schenkel

She is an absolute delightful person.  We have kept in touch ever since we were paired up as jar swap partners.  Just from the short time we have been comunicating I can tell she is a warm thoughtful caring person.  I enjoy and look forward to her e-mails, I feel I have really found a true blog buddy.

Last week I received such a nice package from her, it was filled with lovely embellishments and most special a handmade card from her, below is a picture with all the beautiful things she sent me.  I feel I have found not only a blog buddy but a real FRIEND.

I hope we can continue these swaps and make a new friend with each one..............................

Here are all the beautiful things she sent me, I have already used some of them and can't wait to use more, please visit her blog which is linked above, and leave me a comment on what you think about all the fabulous things she sent me.

Hi all, I don't know if you have noticed but I have not been doing much posting lately, remember when I posted my craft room and said I wanted to do a reno on it but there were 3 bedrooms and 2 baths in line before it?  Here are the results  I did it all by myself, painting, moving furniture and redecorating, I did it all on a very low budget, basically just paint and re-used a lot of accessories just changed colors or ribbons to match new space.  I guess I have been watching to much HGTV..................

And now what this has all led up to........My Craft Room/Office

What do you think?  I took the pictures of the opened cabinets because I am so proud that everything is organized and neat and I'm not sure how long it will stay that way.

Thanks so much for taking the time to check out my handy work, now I hope to get back in full swing and start entering some challenges.
