Heart Swop - What I Sent

And now I can reveal what I sent to Silkie Sue as part of the Mollycupcakes heart swop! The front of the folder has already been shown as I made it for the Forever Friends Challenge. But I can now show what is inside!



The all metal heart clips are from Paperchase and everything else I have made. Jumbo and medium paperclips which can be used as either paperclips or bookmarks. The smaller clip has one of my red fimo hearts attached and some spotty red ribbon tied through the middle. The larger clip has two deep red pony heart beads (I had to work out how to thread them on - not quite as easy as it looks!) and some satin edged organza ribbon tied on.

The hat pin has had another red heart pony bead added and some seed beads too - the cream mother of pearl bead was already on the pin. And the felt heart was hand cut by me.

I added some extra bits and bobs, just because! The heart soaps are lovely - handmade (I bought them from ebay ages ago) and they smell of pink lemonade!


Thanks again to Mollycupcakes for organising the swop and also to Silkie Sue for being a good swop partner!

Heart Swop

Mollycupcakes organised a heart swop and my partner is Silkie Sue. And in addition to her wonderful creative talents, Sam managed to do a bit of mind reading...!

The idea was for 6 heart related items to be sourced - either made, bought, found or given. And here is what arrived for me yesterday!

Just look at all the ribbon! You'll have to excuse the rushedness of the photos - yes, I was in a hurry to open all my packages - felt like my Birthday had come early!



I love this little heart - its reversible too!

Now, I've been thinking about getting a lovely sturdy reasonable sized notebook for a while. As I get older, I'm forgetting Birthdays. Then remembering them when they have passed. So I've been on the look out for something for me to write them all in. I did think of making something but it was just a passing thought as I know it would never get finished! So this was Sam's first mind reading trick!

A beautiful framed heart picture.

And two hearts! The bottom one is full of smelly stuff - I still have some of these from when I was a little girl hanging in my wardrobe making my clothes smell nice!

And for the second mind reading trick - a big bag! I mentioned on my Cuteable Guest Post the other day that I was after a decent bag and I do like red! Perfect!

And here is everything together.


All very fab! Thank you to Mollycupcakes for the organising and also to Silkie Sue for my gifts! When I know my package has arrived, I'll share what I made!
