Valentine Swap Peeks

Paper, ribbons, buttons and lace have been flying around my studio. I am finishing up my projects for two Valentine Swaps I'm in. I love Valentine's Day and the whole Valentine theme so these swaps have been a lot of fun to work on. I can't post pictures of the completed projects until my two partners receive their packages (wouldn't want to spoil the surprise, right?) but I can share some peeks with you.
A Swap for All Seasons asked us to include a Vintage Valentine, a handmade item and something sweet in our package. My partner is my blogging friend, Linda Smith. Linda is also the mastermind behind all of the Swap for All Seasons swaps. She is extremely organized and has this swap partner thing perfected...I've never been matched up with someone that I didn't have a heap of fun with. If you are ever tempted to participate in a swap...this would be the one to do. Some time this week she will be announcing the next Swap so you can read about it here. OK-here is a little sneek peek for Linda...

The other swap is being hosted by Cathy Scalise and it is the first swap she has organized. It is the Amour Valentine Swap and I think over 60 people joined in. (The link is on my sidebar) I will show you a peek for my swap partner Lisa, but we can't reveal all of our projects until Valentine's Day so you'll just have to come back then to see the rest of the things I sent. We were to decorate a box, heart-shaped or not, with a Valentine theme and then fill it with goodies for our partner. This is the first time I've met Lisa so I hope she like the things I've made and gathered for her. Here is Lisa's peek...

I'm sorry to be so mysterious but that's the nature of the swap business.

This Saturday, a friend is coming for lunch and I thought having her come over

would be the incentive to reorganize and clean up the studio.....

I think I'm in trouble....what do you think?

Until next time friends.....
