Yesterday I got a sweet little matchbox sachet from Patt and today brought a fun bookmark and tag from Judy.
I got these nifty items from JoAnn. First from the package was the square button brooch then came the Eiffel Tower slide. I’ve never seen slides with frosted glass before…very cool.
Last month I won at BINGO on ABC and received a fabulous package from Marie.
In the bottom of the cigar box there was a lone earring. I immediately fell in love with it…I like sparkly things!
What’s a girl to do…why, make a pendant, of course. I simply removed the french hook and put a jump ring in it’s place.
My daughter was thrilled when she opened this one.
She had wanted this particular book when I was wrapping it up in November. We must have had one person drop from the swap since I got my own back.
Anyway, I made 12 little books each with a different kaleidoscope I created as the cover.
The time has come to start opening the presents I received in my 12 Days of Christmas Swap.
My children are taking turns opening the packages for me.
Day 1 was this cute ornament with a funny sentiment from Kathy.
Day 2 is this super cute plaque made by Leigh.
We’ve lost our table to eat by, at least until all the glue sets.
Our son’s 3rd grade Academic Challenge group has been studying bridges.
This is there homework assignment.
It’s made entirely from spaghetti, marshmallows and glue. Other optional materials were toothpicks, scotch tape and paperclips. It had to span 75cm and 15cm in width. It also had to support 3 matchbox cars…as you can see his supports more than that. They also had to keep track of the materials they used because each item had a $ value and the goal was to build a bridge to meet the requirements the least expensively. He’s not done reinforcing it yet so we don’t have a $ total yet.
Susan Tuttle has a new book Exhibition 36: Mixed-Media Demonstrations + Explorations which you can find on Amazon here.
She is also giving away a copy on her blog so swing by and join in the fun …
