card candy swap

My swap group decided to swap card candy & cards last month. So, this is what I got....


It was made by Kathy Stewart

Twelve cards & lots & lots of candy!

Thanks for coming to see me!

word bag swap

Remember that I told you about the monthly get together I go to? You know....the one where we do a make-n-take, swap cards & chit-chat? The one where we take a word or two and put something in a bag for each letter of the word(s) and then swap the bag? (we call it a Word Bag Swap...go figure)

Anyhoo....we had another one in August & I ended up with a box full of goodies. The box was put together by Kathy Stewart.


See what I got?

Our word was Summertime and there's something in the box for each letter. I loved it all! What a great swap.

Thanks Kathy!

Thanks for stopping by.
