From my Hands to Yours

What an EXCELLENT excuse to do more YARN shopping!!!

MsMartiP You betcha !

Oh great, I can't wait to receive something handmade by someone else - particularly in a craft I'm no good at (I'm a lousy knitter) :-)

I have the best idea for this =)

Wish I had a sewing machine still. This looks great maybe ill join the next one.

Again, this is something, anything at all, that you make by hand - any medium, any craft, antything at all !

My hands are exciting to craft again for someone :)Nice idea Vidriosa. Thanks for purpose it !

Does this need to be an ornament or any craft I choose? I don't have any ideas on how to make an ornament!

I have a question.It doesent have to be an ornament right?

Any craft is what I originally intended - whatever you make is fine !

oh my god I've got a bunch of cute stuff I've been making and this is the perfect excuse to get people to see it all!

Thanks for answering I think I have to join this one...

Are ATCs ok to send? Or paper dolls or altered CDs? susi

Susi - From your hands - whatever you make and would like to send would be just fine !

sounds like fun - I will get busy right away

What a great way to see other crafting done by everyone.

This is going to be my frist swap. It sounds great. I'm already stared on my first thing.

Thanks so much to Everyone for being a part of this great swap ! I can't wait ! Plus we're # 3 today !

Oh, and thank you to Yooper for the little note book! :O)

Today I received a beautiful card made by Cheryl. I love it Cheryl! Thank you so much. This is my second item ever and I can already feel a swap addiction forming.

Sent packages out to sewcialbutterfly, babblingpanda, and amy. I hope you like them!

Ohhhh Craftsy that was me I was in such a rush to get it out I forgot to put the notes in them ;-/ Hope you like it!

nykaren, thank you for the pretty iris paper folding. You are very talented.

I recieved a cute little beaded animal, but I don't know who sent it.

Courtney YES ! I received your wonderful pouches. what a great hand crafted item! I would never know you just learned to use the sewing machine. I took them to work and had show and tell. Thanks so much.

Karen I received your Iris paper folding, everyone at work wanted to take it apart and figure out how you did it ! I would not let them ! Thanks so much, this is a first for me.

Tangee, it was me who sent you the beaded animal. my name is on the envelope, I'm just too lazy to write the notes, because of me bad English and the need to check the spelling all the time.

I received a beautiful pouch today with wine charms they are so beautiful I love them. Though we do not drink wine I am going to add earing backing to them to wear!!!! THANKS SO MUCH they are so beautiful!!! I really love them

Hi Jenna!

I'm so glad you like the wine charms! It's funny that you say you don't drink wine as I said to my mom after I'd sent them that I should have called them 'beverage charms'. Anyway, glad you like and they would look super cool as earrings! Great idea! :O)

I sent my packages out last week to Stacy, Diane, and Carole. I hope that you like them and that you get them soon.

thank you emily! LOVE the pin!

Thanks for the pretty Valentine's card Mona! And thanks for the letter. So nice to receive a 'real' letter instead of email. I'll write back.

Thanks for the fun boa Ellen! Love the textures.

Melly, your great journal with very cute cover arrived. Thank you! I love it.

Melly, I received a journal from you also! I love it! You do beautiful work. Thanks so much!

Hello Everyone, If you are taking pictures for me I can't wait to see them. I also want to let you know that I will be sending you a thank you note via snail mail. I will do the rating on the site as soon as I can. Thanks

Hello Everyone, Please ignore the first sentence of my previous e-mail.

I also want to let you know that I will be sending you a thank you note via snail mailif you are my partner. I will do the rating on the site as soon as I can. Thanks

Hi Kiki

Thanku so much for the gorgeous wine charms (yes like JennaPerry I am envisaging them doubling as earrings too! :p) and the pretty little organza pouch that they came in :)

Hi Jenna

Thanks heaps for the lovely handmade journal, bookmark and also beautiful fairy card. They're all so pretty that I don't want to use them! :)

MaryO, chef_sheela and Tammegail

I've popped your parcels in the post yesterday so they should be on their way to you all the way from Australia!

Poggy123 thanks so much!! What a lovely little package - i love it!

Poggy123 and Judy I have recieved your packages - I was very touched with how much thought you put into "your hands to mine". Your both very, very clever. Thanks.

Hi Deborah,

Got your sweet angel today! Thank you very much!

Christina

Hi schlabs: Thanks very much for the cute little felted flower - I have it right by my computer to remind me that spring WILL come back eventually! Tassy

I've received all of mine. Sorry have not posted pics. Been away from a computer. Will post pics and ratings once I get back home this weekend.

Cheers, Amy

Hi schlabs and Tassy,

Thank you very much for the gifts. I think the bag is really cute and the flower is lovely thanks again...

OOPs, I think I forgot to let my partners know my Name. So to Rosie, Poggy123 and Vicotria Wanderjahr, I am Judy and sent out the hand stitched moose wallet.

Thank you for the little handmade journal, JUST LOVING IT! I forget right now who made it for me, sorry. Danit, thank you again for the little beaded animal!

I receive a beautiful ATC from Monika aka Drachenfrau I´m Happy!!

Today I got a lovely, knitted dishcloth from Joan. Thank you so much! The bright spring colors are just what I needed today.

Sent out mine to Oregon, Ontario Canada and Estonia :) I hope they like what I sewed up for them, I'm still new at sewing so it didn't come out perfect but I tried my best. Hopefully shipping won't take to long to the one to Estonia.

Wow, I'm a LUCKY girl, I've already received my three incredible packages for this swap! I've received a beautiful handmade card from Cheryl--it's gorgeous and you are incredibly talented. Then I received a beautifully made tote bag from Colleen--the fabric is super warm and comfy (makes me think of a comfy blanket). It's now holding one of my crochet projects :) Finally, I received two very pretty pouches made with delicious fabrics--I'll probably use those to hold CDs and my business cards. Thank you so much ya'll, this swap was great!

I received some candles and a coin purse/pouch sewn from moose hide - not only is this a beautifully made piece, it is STURDY, just like I like!! Thank you Judy! I can't tell what your swap-bot name is, I tried looking around so I could message you directly but gave it up. Hopefully you'll look here and know that I received your awesomeness. I didn't want to wait until I could rate to let you know. Thanks again, and I liked reading your note, too. Cheers!

MissAmyO, I received your beautiful pillow, and I'm loving it. I would never have guessed that you made it from vintage handkerchiefs. Thank you so much!!!

I sent out my packages to M, helloabc and Sylvielea today.

Danit, Aya, and Jamie J, I sent your items out today. I hope you enjoy!

Hi Ladies !!!

I sent this morning my little hand-made presents to Ambika, Carissa and M all in USA. I hope you will enjoy it !!!

Best regards from France !!!

Sylvie

Clau and Sylvielea your packages were sent out today! I had so much fun making them! Small problem though..when I bring up the list of who I send my swap to... one of them is missing.. well not really missing.. more so that the name, address etc were all changed to "HelloABC". The was a real name and address before but now it's changed to the helloabc.... if it ever changes back I'll be sure to send out that package as well.

Sleeping Traveler, Babbingpanda & Amy Hoosier aka Amy: I sent yours off yesterday. :D

I received mine last week. Will blog about them soon: www.SewcialButterfly.com

thank you for your hard work and for being so awesome ladies!

Hi Marlyn, Thanks so much for the lovely necklace and earrings :o)

I sent this morning my packages for Margy, Hails and Runner98765. I hope you like them.

there is a new flickr group to share swap-bot photos. the group name is "Swap-bot.com swaps"

serenity speaks, your partner with helloabc used to be lingmin and she duped me on a swap, so I wouldn't be too worried

Oh ok.. sorry she flaked... If anyone ends up not getting something I'll be happy to send a handmade goodie their way since I only ended up sending to 2 people :o)

I just uploaded pictures of the things I made for my swapers on the gallery on here. Sorry the pics came out so large. I hope they like what I made :)

I uploaded the goodies MissAmyO and MaryO sent me!

I mailed my things I made around Jan. 16th to erica in Spain, Lauren in Texas and Mazzam in England. So far I have only received one of my "gifts". From M. Williams, NY. a womderful piece of homemade soap. I just love it. I sure hope that I get my other two "gifts". So hold on to your extra one Serenity Speaks, I may be the lucky one getting your "extra" if I don't receive mine you will be my angel.

Evie Roz I would love to be your angel if you end up needing one! I'll be sure to check out your profile and make something just for you!

Sandra

Thank you Margy.

For the cute soft toy i received today.

Hi, I am remailing to chica-guapa today, after the first envelope arrived torn and empty. I still have not recieved any of mine, I think it may have to do with the mail service I will keep waiting. Happy Valentine's day

I know one of my swaps arrived safely, but I haven't heard about the other two. They were mailed on 2/5. I'm a little nervous, since this is my first swap
