I recently took part in a few swaps with 2 still on going. The first swap I took part in was a Letter Swap with the craft magazine Popular Crafts.
I really wanted to think outside of the box with this swap so it took me a while to think of something good enough to send my partner.
Eventually I had a brainwave and reused an old box to pop in some lovely note paper with matching envelopes, a handful of pencils and a nice new pen to write with. I also used some scrap fabric, ribbon and some fabric paint to make a cute heart with an 'S' on for my partner Samantha. To go with this letter theme, I purchased a lovely ring from Claire of Claireabellemakes
I really hope Samantha liked her gifts. I personally love writing letters and feel its a dying art so I like to encourage it where possible.
Now to show you what Samantha made for me!
I got this adorable pink bunny wrapped in some tissue paper. I love the colour pink and love cute little crafts like this. I've hung her up on the bunting in my front room.
Samantha also made me this lovely purse with a crochet flower and the letter 'H' pinned to the front. I've been using this to carry my vouchers and stamps so my purse isn't full of random bits and pieces!
Thank you to Samantha for my wonderful gifts and thanks again to Popular crafts for another Craft Swap. I hope I can join in some more next year.

ReplyDeleteNo problem, I love your button rings!
DeleteHannah, your writing box is amazing! I love the heart you made and the bunny that Samantha made for you as well. I am saving for a sewing machine so I can get a bit more creative with my gifting. You have inspired me no end, thank you xxx

DeleteCrafting is the best gift you can give to your partner it shows love because it's made by you. Crafting needs time to think differently and then made it whenever I get time after report writing assignment I try different crafting ideas.
