Crafty Peep Swap Completed

My crafty peep swap partner, Brittni, from “With love from, Michigan” blog received her swap gift a few days ago and so did I. So, now I can reveal what I made for her without ruining the surprise. Reading her blog, I discovered what she likes, owls, and her occupation, teaching. Thus, I made her a hand painted owl brooch with a little crochet bag to put it in. I also made her a matching card from the doodles I made when trying to decide how to draw a cute owl. The owls are a class of students. Brittni was very happy with her swap gift, which made me happy!

My gift from Brittni was some beautiful stamped and painted cards, address labels with a camera on the side, since I enjoy taking pictures, and a pen with feathers and bells on top that she made. I too loved my swap gift. Thank you Brittni! I also made a new and my first pen pal from this swap. I plan to write Brittni monthly.

I really do enjoying doing homemade swaps. Every swap I do, I try to make it personalized to that individuals likes. If you’re interested in doing a swap with me let me know. Email me at creativitylizette@yahoo.com.

Vegas Baby!

I spend my weekend in Las Vegas for a wedding. One of my husband’s co-workers was getting married. Though, I was still sick with a cold I managed to enjoy myself. We stayed at the Imperial Palace on the strip and we saw the world’s largest classic car museum they had at the casino. The auto collection wasn’t great, especially not for almost $20 for both my husband and I to go in, but I did like the BMW bug with the picnic baskets on the roof and little push car. I had the most fun and the wedding. The ceremony was at a little chapel and the reception was at Planet Hollywood restaurant in the Caesar’s Palace Hotel and Casino. I always enjoy hanging out with my husband’s co-workers and their families. They’re like my husband’s second family since he spends as much time with the guys from work as he does at home. Plus, it’s always fun for me when I get to dress up and go somewhere nice.

I unfortunately missed my book club for this month since I arrived tired from Las Vegas and I knew I wouldn’t have enough time to make cupcakes. I’ll be making cupcakes from next month’s book club instead, so I’ll be covering the dessert part.

I signed up for another one of Strumpet’s Crumpets’ swaps. This one is called Crafty Peep Swap. This is my third swap I have done through Strumpet’s Crumpets’ blog. I got paired up with a sweet girl named Brittni from Michigan. I’ve been reading her blog “with love from, michigan” to get a feel of who she is and what she likes. I can’t wait to get started on her swap gift. I hope she likes it.

Craft on friends, Lizette
