Crazy, but fun, Swap!
I joined this "payback" swap not really knowing what to do. You can see below what I sent...boring! I was trying to play it safe. You never know! But when I got my stuff! Man-O-Man! I was so excited and ready to create, it took me under an hour to make the page. When I opened the package and saw a feather and silver "disco" material...I knew I had to make a Prom/Dance themed page layout!

Getting ready for another swap!
I joined a swap called Payback Swap - the object of the swap is to gather items and send them to your partner. Your partner will take the items and make something from them and send them back. Here is what I am sending my partner. Luckily the partner I send to like Stampin'Up stuff and that's all I'm sending except the lacy border is from a Martha Stewart punch.
I Love getting Snail Mail!
What a wonderful day to pick up the mail! Usually, Billy gets home first and picks it up. But, today was my special day! I opened the box to find my mail order swim suit and two swaps!
The first to be opened was the Prom Picture Swap! This was really fun! You sent your partners a picture of you and your prom or dance date along with a little description of the event.
Mine was more than I could have imagined. Four pictures of couples. One was my swap partner and her date, another was her husband and his date. The third was their son and his date and finally my partner's husbands grandparents. A picture from 1905. I think it may have been their wedding picture. There is a bouquet in the picture. She also sent two lovely ATC's. All-in-all, this was a wonderfully fun swap!
The next envelope was from the Lottery ticket swap! This swap was started by my daughter! The idea of this swap was to send your partner an un-scratched lottery ticket! Guess what? The ticket sent to me was a $30 winner! Look! Three strawberries in a row. On a row that ends with $30.00! Yippee!
I love Swap-Bot!!

C dotee doll face
Well! I think I'm getting the hang of this dotee doll thing! I've been to countless craft stores looking for supplies and even searching the internet. Too bad I haven't been able to find some skill! So, I just finished the face on my C dotee. Here it is.

Cleaning Up My Scrapbook Room Mess!!!
I got up around 5am this morning. Everyone but the dog and me was asleep so, I decided to work on my crazy ribbon project! I tumped out (turn over/dump for y'all that don't understand Texan!) my big ribbon tote onto the scrapbooking workspace and dug in.
CiCi offered to help!
Heather came over yesterday after her great Pampered Chef party at Dr. Arredondo's house to use our computer (since her's is on the fritz) to enter the orders and do some postcrossing posts. I know I woke up around 2am and the light was still on in the office. Like I said earlier, I got up around 5am. I usually potty then go straight to the computer in the mornings. This morning I found all her stuff still in the office but could not find her. Then after I made coffee I saw legs on the ottaman. She was curled up in our big chair covered in a fleece throw with her shoes still on and her sunglasses on her head. I went in later, after the sun was up a little, and found her with her sunglasses on her face so, I couldn't resist!
So...I got started sorting and storing ribbons. I finally got the new rack organized with most all the ribbons.
"I'm ready for my close up Mr DeMille"
My ribbons tote went from the large one to the small one:
And, I was able to utilize the large one for my tools!
Here they are together so you can get a better idea of the sizes.
Now there is room for the new tool I got at the ScrapStampArtTour in Mesquite, Texas!
It's an Easy-Bow! You can't really tell but, it's a pretty good bow I made with it. It makes a total of seven size bows using up to 3/4" wide ribbon. I'm really excited about using this on cards and such as my handmade bows really bite!!
This is a huge post and took me from 5am this morning until.....4:11pm to finish.
Hope you enjoy it!
