Do you know what was the BEST part of this swap? Marfi lives in Tucson!! Yep, we got to meet for lunch and swap and get to know each other and basically talk our faces off!!! I have a new friend with whom I can create!! Yay! Thank you so much, dear Wendy, for waving your Good Witch wand and pairing us up!
Well dear friends, it's back to the studio...I'm participating in Bloggerette's Secret Sister Halloween Bag Swap, an altered spoon swap for Fall/Halloween with my special Tucson gals, Button Floozie's Fall into Buttons swap...just to name a few. I'll be posting swaps separately until my travel journal is complete, so stick around for some swell eye candy!! Thank you for stopping by and have an enchanting week!

You have hit the jackpot here this month with all the lovely swapping. I love the altered tins you swapped. I was involved in the Button Floozie swap too. I missed out on the bloggerette sisterhood swap, but had already announced a shabby tote swap for fall. I have two partners for that one. Then I am doing a fall/winter stash swap, but I think I am a little bit overwhelmed with all the swapping. I probably will host another one for Christmas. we will see!
another fab swap
AND
how extra special to get to meet another art friend AND be close by for future fun!
