Susan from shabbyandfrills.blogspot.com is hosting a Patriotic bunting swap. She has been part of our Enchanted Ornaments swaps before. Sign ups are right up until June 2nd. It is a very simple swap...Just a bunting to hang for the fourth of July. Go sign up, I think it will be really fun! She has never hostessed a swap before so any posts on her behalf would be wonderful! Thanks all, Melinda

Birdie Package From Stacey

This is the birdie package I received from Stacey last week.  She sent a sweet little cloth bird, an altered birdhouse, and some birdie charms along with some sticky notes and Bath & Body Works goodies. The chocolate bar lasted long enough for me to take the picture then it was quickly devoured.  Thank you Stacey for my birdie package.  Birdie swap mail is always fun!

lovin' some owls

Micki sent me this assortment of owls....cute!  

Kaela was babysitting when I opened the box and her sweet charge snapped up the pillow...instant love!  I couldn't refuse, her room is in the same pastel colors as the pillow.

I sent this in return....

An owl for hanging...

On Fridays, Micki does project with her daughter so I made this apron for her.  I included some scrappy paper items they can use and a child's apron pattern too.

I also sent an owl sewing case...forgot to take photos but these were the two main gifts anyway!

Now I'll Reveal It All ....

My little birdie ornament arrived at its new home today ....... Wow, that was one long flight !!!!
So after giving you just a little sneek peek the other day, I'll share all of it with you now.

Thanks Val for a great round one ....... Can't wait for you to reveal our next theme :-)

 Tomorrow all the birds should be flying to their new homes!



Don't forget to thank your partners...and to post your lovely packages!

Sneek Peek ....

Here's a little sneek peek of my birdie ornament, that will be winging its way to my partner tomorrow :-)

ornament ideas....

I love bird ornaments and thought it would be fun to show some for inspiration.    I was googling them but the new pop up is DRIVING ME CRAZY.  Very few would behave so it is a good thing I only needed a few!
