Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy. Eskimo proverb

SwaP GooDiEs GiVeN...

A while back I did a swap with my good pal Karen over at "the barely there primitive bear..and she sent me some wonderful treasures and some that are shown above..the strawberry items..oh now its an obsession..I love it..well I thought I would share with you all what I gave her in return.;)
some salt dough ornaments in a cute little strawberry basket..
a pillow with her blog title in it.:) and bears..cause she collects bears..;)
some cute little teddy bear sweaters..I knitted the top right one..Sorry Karen I told you I hadn't..:) and this wonderful mold..
she collects game boards and I found this out thrifting one day..;)
a rolling pin and strawberry cookie cutter..
I made her this towel to put in her kitchen the upper fabric has bears on it.:)
3 lids and some cookie cutters..she collects bears and gingerbreads and I had to throw in some halloween too.:) and this wonderful grater..I will show you what I am doing with these graters in my next post..you will love it.;)
some note cards and a wonderful book that I just read..I love the young pioneers...especially the movie.."young pioneers christmas"..if you haven't seen it..you must..I own it..but only on VHS as they don't do dvd..(or I would get it)..
my very first penny rug..;)
I made her a bunch of tags using my sizzix..love that thing..
all packaged and ready to go.;)
Here is another swap I did with Laurie of Cats haven crafts..I just love this kitty she made for me and she wanted a bib for her nephew Finn..


the bib..
and because she loves kittys a knitted sweater by me to use on a doll with cat buttons..
I also made her a cute cat towel for her kitchen too..
2 metal kittys with blue eyes..:)
and some salt dough ornmaments...
I am signing up for the christmas in July swap over at the primpals blog...I can't wait to see what this consists of..I also ordered another wood piece from Firecracker kid..It is almost done and will be ready for shipment this monday..I will tell you/show you what it is when I get it hung up...I can't wait..it is going in the living room..and then it will be complete...our weather was soooo pretty yesterday..and today..cloudy and might get some rain later on..tomorrow too..but then nice for monday..so looking forward to that..I am helping my friend Melissa out and making some prairie aprons...she is making the dresses and bonnets for a pioneer trek they are going on next week..they are going to retrace the steps the mormon pioneers took and eat and sleep and dress the way they did in the 1800's..I wish I could be there just to photograph it all..can't wait to hear about their experiences..hopefully they will share the photos so I can blog it for you all..I will take photos of the aprons when I am done...have a wonderful weekend everyone.:)
