Ring in the New Year 2013 Craft Swap

Another craft swap has come to a close and this time the theme was Ring in the New Year!  We went with the silver and gold idea, but love what our swap mates came up with... snowmen bells and a New Year themed quote... too perfect for the theme!

Fall 2013 Craft Swap

Finished up another awesome swap.   We made the fall framed picture and were inspired by a similar one we saw at a décor shop.  We had one of those “I could make that” moments and this time we actually made it!!!  The awesome scarecrow candy display and the felt photos were mailed to us.  The scarecrow has been on display since we got it and the photos (which were a special request) will be used for some fall speech vocabulary activities.  I hope the students love them as much as I do!  

 

Christmas in July and Home Office 2013 Craft Swap

Here's our latest swap swag.  We sent away the first two pictures and received the four pictures below.  So fun... love them all!

Patriotic 2013 Craft Swap

Just finished up a fun red, white, and blue themed craft swap.  There was a little delay with the Post Office, but everybody got their packages in time for all the July 4th festivities.  We sent out two U.S.A. themed magazine bags and included a vintage pin with both.  We received this super cute wreath and I  think it's  actually made from a pool noodle... how creative!  It's just so fun and festive.  Also, we got this awesome U.S.A. bunting pillow!  I don't know if we have a set style, but this would definitely be considered "our style" if we did.  We're really into buntings at the moment, so this is the perfect fit.  The string at the top is crocheted  and the letters are felt.  Love, love, love!  It's so cool to fill our house with things people have made. 

Exciting News!!!

We have joined our first Package Pals via C.R.A.F.T. and we are beyond excited with who we were partnered with.  Our match is Coley and she is a perfect fit for us for so many different reasons.  We are new to Package Pals, so we'll keep you updated on this fun project!  And what better way to celebrate than with frozen yogurt... love it!  This was actually consumed after the Mt. Baldy Run to the Top last year.  Due to weather conditions, I received my first DNF, but like my second graders would say, "It wasn't my fault!" ;)
