Spring has arrived in my neck of the prairie, and the birds are busy building their nests. In honor of the arrival of my feathered friends, I am happily hosting a swap! Here are the guidelines:
1. Include at least one handmade item with a bird theme. Items can be made in any craft, or art style and can be purchased, or made by you.
2. Include at least one "sweet" item, (your interpretation).
3. Items should follow a bird, nest, egg, or Spring theme.
4. Swap box should have a $20.00 value, (before shipping).
5. After the long winter many of us have had, please don't be a swap deadbeat! If you sign up, you are obligated to follow through in a timely manner. We don't want any sad faces in the midst of our swap.
6. I will contact you with your partner on May 1st, and items are to be mailed by May 15th.
PLEASE e-mail me through my sidebar (elee@srt.com). Include your blog address, and mailing address. I will have a cutoff number, so don't miss out! ALSO, let me know if you're willing to ship internationally.
Feel free to grab my swap button for your blog. I would appreciate the advertising.
If you are new to swaps, and want more information, e-mail me with questions.
Blessings, Ele






in my kitchen. A yellow potted plant from my son's girlfriend brings in the sunshine. Finally, I can see out my kitchen window, unlike a couple of weeks ago, 



Spring is in my mind and flew gracefully onto my paper. 
Shades of robins egg blue, coppery brown and white are put together in a simple style. Some of the tags have millinery flowers, some aren't quite yet in bloom. What do you do with these tags? Use tags in place of a card. Tie a tag on a gift. Hang on an Easter tree. Give several as a gift, or just one tied to a little treat. 


I have more Birthday treats to show you, so be sure to come back later in the week.
