Happy Valentine's Day! I'm excited to finally be able to share the gifts that were exchanged during the swap. I love how thoughtful everyone was. For new readers, the swap started about a month ago where each person was paired up with a partner and then exchanged surveys that asked about hobbies, and favorite things. The survey was meant to facilitate communication and help gather ideas for swap gifts. I think it worked out quite well :) Not all the gifts that were exchanged are in the slideshow below, as I didn't want to spoil anyone's surprise if they haven't opened their gift yet!
My swap partner was Jayna of I Love JCrew.
She got me an awesome gift set that included a clutch (perfect for today!), a book on "why we buy" (uh oh, I'm not sure I want to know the truth lol), and a pretty shade of Mac lipgloss.
for Jayna I made:
an apron (my first time sewing anything-ever!), a box with squirrels (because she likes to take photos of them :), and a decoupaged box of vintage pictures of Treasure Island, Florida--one of her favorite places. Inside the round box are button magnets that I also made to match the apron:
I hope everyone had fun getting to know other bloggers! Thanks, everyone for participating and stay tuned in the following months for another swap.
Have a lovely Valentine's Day! xo

what a great idea! all those ladies are soooo crafty! Love your magnets and the fabric you made them with!
I had a great time with the swap, Tippy! Thanks so much for hosting it! I did not get to send a photo of my gift, but I received a lovely makeup bag and matching lipstick case from japan from Marisa. I love it!
Wow! People are CRAFTY!!! I feel guilty because I bought my gift! It was still bought with love, though, so that counts, right?!?! I am sooooo impressed with everyone's creativity. How impressive!!
And I'm saying it again, thanks for coordinating this swap. It was so much fun!
LOL I have to agree with Pamela, I bought my gift, too and am amazed at the ideas and creativity people out there have. My swap partner was Kathy and I had SOOO much fun with this! Looking forward to the next one!
Thanks so much for organizing this Tippy.
I do have to say that my sister was the one who made the gift that Ashley got. She is super talented and I told her what I wanted it and Voila! she came out with a beautiful stationery set.
I love my gift so much, it was so fun and so me.
Thanks again Tippy and Thanks Ashley!
Thanks for hosting the swap! It was so much fun! Love my gifts :)
This was a lot of fun! My swap partner Kate made me the CUTEST pair of dinosaur PJs!
