As you can see (wherever these things show up) I opened my fun package last Thursday and waited until Friday to begin. Yes, it has taken me this long to get through the weekend w/b-day parties attended and to be given (1) along w/sleepovers and what-nots.Seeing all of these treasures suddenly made me have difficulty waiting and there was a day (or two) when I simply could not control myself and had accidently, slightly ripped open a package and had to finish that, to reveal another hand made gift.


DAY -1-
Wrapped so nicely w/a pink polka-dot and brown bow (had to hold back dd12 from stealing said ribbon) was A wonderful papier mache bunny from a vintage-style chocolate mold from Cathy Nash, complete w/hand made easter grass from crepe paper,
and sprinkled w/some mica glitter (we love glitter)

along with glittered leaves & vintage paper flowers. Thank you Cathy!

Day -2- Brought thise nice little two-sided charm from Amy.

It has vintage Easter pictures on each side.


It is very delicate and nice! Can't wait to hang it somewhere w/some pretty ribbon.

Thank you Amy!
Day -3- has brought a sparkly easter bunny by Teresa.
You can find her at plumwatercottage-evansville.blogspot.com
This sweet bunny is made out of papier mache and pastel colors.

And yes, we LIKE glitter. (we could just roll in it sometimes!!hee)

And so, stay tuned the next few days for more "swap" fun. I had actually vowed not to do another swap w/more than one day attached to it, but really, I TAKE THAT BACK (don't tell my hubby). It was worth every minute of obsessing about those hundred eggs that I cut out and color matching for each project and detailing each little bunny girl and painting all those bowls for the eggs and glitter everywhere and birdies and more glitter and a banner too and.....well you know, we just can't help ourselves. Creating is just flowing in the veins of us all indeed. Can't wait to share more of others works. But you must as it is not 12:25 and we are not talkin lunchtime here girls. These photos were hoppin so much and I was editing "undo" so often that I cannot think anymore (well to make sense that is). If I have learned something it is this: for now on I am not putting more than a couple photos on a post until I ever learn all the tricks to keep yer sanity.
night, night bloggies.....and hugs!
