Karen's directions were to:
*decorate the box and fill it with fall items
*keep it a secret until the big reveal (which is today)
Well.....I didn't exactly follow directions:( Sorry, Karen!
First of all, I was having difficulty finding any fall things that really "spoke" to me....and the fact that Cindy had mentioned she liked cottage-y things did speak to me! So instead of doing as I was told to do, I did this....click here.
Secondly, I got sort of mixed up and had my own reveal awhile back! (as you saw above if you clicked on my link).
Karen, I am sooooo sorry! I tend to read directions too quickly and carelessly sometimes. Anyway...everything is just fine and my partner and I made our swap and sweet Cindy sent me this....
Next time, I promise to read directions carefully...and follow them. Thanks, Karen & Cindy, for all the fun!
Cute! What a fun swap to participate in!

ReplyDeleteI just love Cindy - I can't wait to see her in January when she travels out to AZ and I drive over there too.
You guys did so good! For first time swappers - I think everything is fabulous!I can see you guys doing it again and again. I love the snooping and spying part! And now you have a new friend, which is what it was all about! Friendships!

Hello! You must be a fellow teacher too! What do you teach and how long have you been doing it? I love the cherry design on the box, it's too cute!
ReplyDeleteDon't fret about the swap directions...cause I just couldn't cover my partner's cigar box! I'm a collage artist and love multi-media art but the box was so darn beautiful and an antique one that I just couldn't do it...lol But I filled it full and made the gifts all personal and that is what really counts ;) Thanks for stopping by and saying hi and entering my giveaway. Fondly, Roberta

I thought about participating but I chickened out ~ you did great!!! Maybe next time I'll play too. Give me a shout if you guys to it again.
ReplyDeletep.s. - my mom gave me one of those perms too - it's one of my worst childhood memories......and you're right - I had the same expression on my face in the picture my mom took as Jackson has on his.....:-(
Hello! I found your adorable blog (and followed it!) through the Welcome Wagon. Though I just moved with my husband to MS a few months ago, I grew up on a farm in southern GA! Can't wait to read through your blog some more.
