I love sWaPS!! I've been known to stack a few on my plate at the same time, but they are hard for me to resist!
I've talked about Nanette's Cottage Swap two posts ago, now let's review some more swaps I participated in during the first year of my blog.
Secret Sister Swap October 2008 - March 2009

Jane is the SWAP QUEEN!! She joins swaps, she hosts amazing swaps she may have even invented swaps! Jane's swaps are so organized and I've never been disappointed with the blocks I've received.
Jane has another swap almost planned out, I'll be participating in that one fo' shiz!

OOOOO...great fabric and tags!!! I love those rainbow swap blocks....they are so striking and crisp!
ReplyDeleteTha rainbow block swap is beautiful! I never seem to find out about these swaps until ppl are mailing theirs in, or recieving them, where is the best place to look?
ReplyDeleteI get so into swaps too. AFter a year or two of them, usually block swaps, I said no more swaps..this is the year to sew them together and at least get tops from them....could I resist???? I think I made it to June and signed up for another one and didn't get any tops done!!!! OH well. I did a DJ row robin...that one is nearly a top...I sent along a box of scraps...it turned out very nice; and I also was in a DJ block swap in fall colors...love those DJ blocks! YOurs look so nice in Christmas colors.
ReplyDeleteThese tags and fabric are wonderful - thanks for the chance to win these.
ReplyDeleteGirl, I am so addicted to swaps. I think they are so much fun. Loved looking at yours.

I just visited Kniterella's shop. Those tags are so right on. I like the one that says 'Just Because It's Homemade Doesn't Mean It Was Cheap'. So many people think that I am saving money by making them a gift.
