New Swaps for Fall!

After taking a little break this summer, I'm pleased to announce two fun new swaps that I'm hosting for the Fall!

September: Vintage Paper Dress Garland: *****SWAP IS FULL***** Each player will create 5 petite paper dresses made on a cardboard or heavy cardstock backing. The dresses can be embellished any way you choose… use vintage wallpapers, pretty scrapbook papers, fabric, ribbons, buttons, etc. Dresses should each measure about 6” tall by 4” wide. I will create each player a garland using ribbons, mini clothespins, and dresses swapped from 5 different players.

Need some inspiration for the dresses? Click here to see an example from the Spring 2007 issue of Somerset Life. Artsy Mama has also been making some of these lovely little dresses.

Please mail the dresses to me by September 22nd and include $5.00 for return Priority postage. All players will receive a free goodie bag from Speckled Egg. Feel free to copy the button below to add to your blog, if you join the swap. *****SWAP IS FULL.. 40 Players! I've sent confirmation emails to everyone who asked to sign up, please email me if I missed you! I've had LOTS of emails with these 2 swaps!*****

October: Halloween Party Hat Swap: ***SWAP FULL*** Create a Halloween themed party hat for a one-on-one swap! Hats should measure about 10” tall and should be cone shaped. You can make the cone yourself or use a paper mache cone. Maybe decorate a purchased witch hat!?! Embellish the hats with spooky bats, glittery spider webs, and other Halloween fun! The hats don’t have to be wearable… they can just be a fun Halloween decoration for your home.

You will mail your hat directly to your assigned partner. Please communicate with your partner about your likes/dislikes, and your progress with the swap. Hats should be mailed by October 8th, so they can be enjoyed for the holiday. (Feel free to copy the blog button below to add to your own blog.)
