I am joining the lovely Karen at Some Days are Diamonds for my first ever swap!
We were supposed to keep our partners identity a secret but somehow my partner Cheri and I got things a bit confused! But that was just fine, as I got to know Cheri and that was the best part of the whole swap.
Cheri's lovely blog is called Cheri's Chatter and you can visit her and also see what I made for her by clicking here.
Anyhoo, I just love the beautiful box that the talented Cheri made for me! She used my favorite color blue and added so many lovelies!
And some labels for scrap-booking and a charming little guardian angel bag they I took to the hospital when Katie went into labor.
Love it all!
Thank-you Cheri and Thank-you Karen for hostessing this fun swap. Now that I've done my first, I won't be as nervous about trying another.
Lately, I have been so very busy with my part- time job and helping my daughter, the new Mom with baby Addison.
I work as a parent educator/outreach worker and I added 3 new families about the same time that Katie had Addison.
So if I haven't visited for awhile please be patient with me. I just need to regroup and get a bit caught up.
Have a great weekend everyone!
I am posting this a bit early because Hubby and I have plans for the weekend. YooHoo!

Your swap things are wonderful. It was my first swap too and I was so worried about it. Mine will be posted late as will my partners...for a couple of reasons. I can't wait to see what everyone did!
ReplyDeleteYAY! And I even got you linked up - although why we don't have a picture - NO CLUE WHY!
ReplyDeleteLove all of this! And she was so sweet to send you fun things for Katie and Addison.
Can't wait to see what you sent her!
SEE! Swaps are fun! :)
Have a great trip!

Your box is wonderful. It has been fun participating in this swap, the best part is learning about someone else and to see how they get to know us. Take care of yourself.
ReplyDeletewell this was a fun thing to do...I have not heard of a swap in blogland yet...you got such cute goodies....
ReplyDeleteHow cute is that! I love the little baby rattle ornament!
ReplyDeleteHi Girlfriend...
ReplyDeleteJust read your sweet note and wanted to come by and say hello! Cindy, I love your pretty decorated cigar box that Cheri made for you...it's gorgeous and what sweet gifts too! Of course, I had to go over to Cheri's place and see the box that you made for her! Hehe! Ahhh...I love the cherry theme...so sweet! What fun, Girlfriend! Sheeesh...I don't know where I've been...I hadn't even heard that there was a swap going on!
Well it's pretty quiet here...of course it's 1:15am. Hehe! It's the first time I have been up all weekend. A yukky stomach bug hit me and really knocked me for a loop...fever and all! I'm just now starting to feel better...yuk! Anyway, just wanted to come by to say hello! Girlfriend, getting to meet you and Dan this summer was the VERY BEST!!! I loved every minute that we got to spend together! I hope that we can get together again!!! So glad that you got your copy of Victoria this weekend! Enjoy!!!
Love ya, sweet friend!

Cindy, that looks like such a fun swap! Loved what you got. She really did a lovely job on your goodies. I'm glad because YOU deserve it!
