This is what I sent to Caryn for July's Creative Swap. Since she celebrated her birthday on the same month, I included some extras for gifts.
I made her this necklace and a pair of earrings. Wasn't able to make decent pictures of them, though. This is the only one that looks okay. Maybe she will make a photo of them. (I'm still using my phone as camera since my lens broke. I might buy a new lens soon!)
I really had fun putting these together and I'm glad she likes them. Can't wait to receive mine! :)
If you'd like to join in our next swap in September, you're very much welcome. You can read about it here.

| Hey there Gracey, - Always amazed at your beautiful creative craftiness ;) I didn\'t realize that Caryn was the mastermind of your swaps; I\'ve been to her site, I probably got there from you. I love the whole concept, you wrap such nice things beautifully and I would love to participate, however, I am the worlds worst procrastinator and I\'d surely let someone down by sending something too late. I still owe Odette a prezzie and I cannot get my act together :( This is going to have to get done! Anyway, you make beautiful jewelry, and stationary too :)   Thank you very much, JQ! *blush* I try to do my best. :)Don't worry, you're not the only one. I am a major procrastinator myself, but a little push gets me back on track. So maybe we'll just have to push you to find some time to make that thing and send it. Hahah. Join us! |

| btw, i wore the necklace yesterday and it got a lot of great comments! Cool! :) I used one of the limited beads I have for that necklace. I might be able to make one for the shop. The earrings are a bit flimsy no? I used up all my thicker head pins so I just used what I had left but I thought it was cute. Heehee! |
