Handmade Joy Exchange

I recently took part in a swap organized by Anne of My Giant Strawberry. It was a "handmade joy exchange" where everyone made something for someone else. I had so much fun putting together my package for Judy of Harfelt Fabric Art,

and loved opening my sparkly package from Vixie of Matin Lapin!

I also love that name - morning rabbit - so sweet!

I made Judy's earrings with vintage silver bows I'd just bought and peach aventurine faceted semi-precious stone beads. I also sent her a peachy flower petal button I'd made and enjoyed making her package beautiful with a big bloom on the front, cute notepaper etc :) You can read more about the exchange and see photos of other handmade joy pieces and packages on Anne's blog here! Thanks Anne and everyone else, this was great fun!

Beautiful Treasures in my Mailbox!

I did a swap that Sarah set up & was matched with the lovely Dianne.
Look what I found when I opened up my package!

Photos, artwork, beads, a feather, chocolate... all manner of lovely treasures! And do you see her DearOhDeer sticker on the envelope near the bottom? So pretty! Makes me feel I have to kick it up a notch with my honeywild branding :)

Swap

I recently did a swap with the super sweet Gale of Wichser Studio. That's my opened package pictured - two of her pieces I'd been drooling over! I'm a happy camper :) Plus my package smelled like incense. It was pretty nifty. I love this online community, I've been so lucky to connect with so many awesome people! Love you all.
