I can't believe that I have been MIA for nearly 2 weeks !
There has been lots of Birthday celebrations going on in the Smifferoo household just recently
...my two eldest boys turned 18 and 21 last week
...OMG !! How did that happen !!
I'm far too young to have kids that age LOL !!
I've also been learning to knit - I'll save that for another post !
...and THANK YOU for all your lovely kind comments on my last post, I appreciate each and everyone of them x
Anyway......
So much to Show and Tell...
I've been participating in a few (OK, lots) of swaps just lately, can't wait to show you all what lovelies I have received in the post.
These are the beauties I received from my lovely friend Tina in Texas. She doesn't blog (although I think she should ! ;)
We've been doing little swaps for a while now, and I sooo look forward to Tina's packages, she always sends me so much gorgeousness all the way from th US !
...and this swap was no exception.
A beautiful tag, stunning altered matchbox, fabulous altered clip-board and Tina also sent me an awesome burlap Dress-form to alter !!
some close ups of the lovelies, Tina sent to me
I adore the personalised 'sewing themed' box of treasures.
...and if you think that is wonderful...
just take a peek at all the fabulous goodies she enclosed....
Thank you soooo much Tina for your kindness and generosity x
...can't wait to work a little shabby magic on the dress-form, although it does look fab already !
-oOo-
Now it's time to show, what I sent to Tina in Texas...
..an altered canvas and CD
...and I shabby'd up a little stryoform dress-form
..and I had to alter a matchbox too
Halloween stylie
(Not that I'm addicted or anything !! LOL !! )
Thanks again Tina for a lovely trade.
I'll be back soon with a few more swaps to show...
So Until then
Thanks for Looking!
