Both are in two different Israeli forums.
I sent one out today and the other one will go out tomorrow with the card I am making. (I`ll add the card photos tomorrow, still working on it:-))
I had made a coaster box with a tutorial I found on S/C for one swap, I had changed its size and instead of a 4"x4" it is now 6.5"x6.5"
For the second one, I made a purse (I just love them!) and I got the tutorial for that from Inking Idaho

I have to say, I did fell in love with this one LOL.

Purse Swap

But before I tell you all about it, I would like you to meet my new attractive Laptop!

My princess had decided that my old one doesn't need to have any keys, so she took them all out! LOL

So my DH has bought me an early Birthday present (only about a month early).

The sales man asked me loads of question to see if I got the laptop that is ideal for me. DH just said to him:"Is it pink?" "then we will take that one!" LOLAnother swap, in an Israeli Forum.

A purse swap this time, which I really enjoyed making.

I saw the purse in Nina`s blog and followed the link to the tutorial from there.

I changed the sizes a little so that my mini album would fit in it. I t was a very snug fit.

Actually a note for next time (which will be this week, as someone saw it and ordered two!), purse needs to be slightly bigger.

Mini album and a card.

Paper piecing owls.

White swap

A group shot

The card

The mini Album. it was to big for my light box LOL
I just realised, I forgot to take a pic of it closed...

A few weeks ego I participated in a white swap that was part of "Shavuot" which is a Jewish holiday. Its the harvest holiday, and we celebrate it by eating allot of dairy products and wearing white cloths.

There is allot more to the holiday, but I wont go in to that :-)

So, my white swap, still did not reach its destination (It might be the royal mail that is taking its time).

The mini album was ALLOT of work, and if i ever decide to make another one it will be for myself, or I might have a SU! class tutorial.
I do love it though! LOL

Sorry about the quality of the photos..

Thanks for stopping by!
