Decided to snag a newbie in my Newcommer swap that I had open for almost a year. Its a swap on cutoutandkeep.net to help put some xp under the new ppls belts.


All together: I made her a set of matchbook/notebooks, a green pouch, a pink pouch with 4 slots to put her crochet needles in, heart shaped felt stitch markers, a kawaii keychain, a domino pendant and a heart felt ring.







I really liked the keychain, it was one of those projects with no thought to it, just make till I got to a stopping point and poof that was the end result :D

Oi, today in a long while I was able to sleep in. I feel great! I am sipping my coffee and getting the blood circulated. I want to be able to get a few things done today and break out my crafting galore and start making things again. I finished my magnet swap, just need to mail it out next Friday or the following week when we get paid.

I also am hosting the next round of Kawaii swap on Cutoutandkeep.net and have alot of ideas that I want to get started and maybe if I make extras I can set those aside for my etsy. Which my etsy is still in vacation mode for now till I feel like I am able to maintain it without going crazy with the last boxes of unpacking.

The girls are at my parents house, they should be home soon. Glad my parents were able to let them stay the night since I been overwhelming myself with alot of stuff.

Any who let me show you a few pics of the magnets I made.






I took an old dvd case and revamped it, inserted stock paper inside the sleeve with some of the magnets. Yes I even took some pirate gold and turn them into magnets...everyone needs a little pirate gold lol!

So yesterday I finished up my last swap/crafting project for 2009. Feels odd that its a new year already! Hope everyone enjoy theirs! Any who I wanted to share with you some pics of what I made for the Newcomer swap.


Beaded wire necklace, two rings.

Stickers, stationary, also made her two lollipop pendant necklaces for her two daughters.

Hope she likes everything.

My swap partners are awesome at what they do and make beautiful items and I wanted to share their amazing work with you all.This is the most recent one I have recieved. This is what Ale made me for the fairytale swap. This came all the way from Mexico.

She also sent some mexican candy which is sooo yummy. GReat job Ale I loved it all!

Today me and Emma went grociery shopping and got stuff to make home made pizza and it was delish. I also got the girls in bed at a good time and now its mommy time.

Okay Kiddo, I know you might be reading this but I am just excited and needed to blab! lol This one project I am working on for the zombie swap is turning out kick bootie!!


I decided on making a zombie survior journal, and the fictional owner of the journal's name is Coraline Francis Tempest. Basicly there are several entries in her journal of the beginning of the break out and some of her experience first hand with the zombie threat. I am going to add a few more entries into the journal and then the rest you can use to write your craft ideas or add onto it :D Then I will be making one more item and I will be mailing your stuff the first week of april.


Also I wanted to show you my rough draft of me taking one of my pics and turning it into a ZOMBIE! Here I shall show you!

Hope you like! lol
