A little while ago I joined in a "box swap " that Cass was organising. The idea is so simple! She filled a box with crafty goodness and sent it to someone...that person could choose three things to take out and then they added three things and passed it to the next person and so on and so on....
So now I have the box! I have taken out some great fabric, some zips and a purse frame.
and I have added some vintage buckles, some keyring blanks, and a little sewing bucket (and a tiny thank you pressie for Cass for doing the organising)
.....................................................and now I am sending it off to Annie
Ooooh how exciting...I can't wait until it's my turn....yippee!
ReplyDeleteThe simple ideas are always the best!

That sounds such a great idea - lucky you - and all the other participants!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun swap idea. I love the little sew cup with the mushrooms and I'm sure those buckles will come in handy!

ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea. I wish I was in that swap.
ReplyDeleteHi Jodie, love your blog you are so funny! Thanks for the welcome to blogland on my blog.
ReplyDeletehi there kitten i just found your blog and thought to say what a great swap and all the goodies...woooweeee honey i wish i could have a try...stop by my place sometime...cat
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to get my hands on that box at gym tomorrow!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun concept! It would be difficult to choose just 3 items....
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for a swap. How did you chose what to take out? I'm sure that would have been the hardest part. Must keep my eye out for that swap again.
ReplyDeletewhat a fantastic idea! I just love it! And you chose such lovely things.
ReplyDeleteHappy crafty weekend to you!

Lovely bucket, would be handy for storing my little used brain! Red Spoons could be in the pipeline in the future, I've cleaned that screen off at the moment! I'm working on washing up/milk/recyled bottles images and they're in red!
ReplyDeletewhat a great swap idea! how fun!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun idea, and I adore your little mushroom-y sewing bucket...that spotty aqua fabric is wonderful!
ReplyDeletewhat a great swap!! Bloggers are so much fun.
ReplyDeleteOh My Gosh! I love those mushrooms. Did you applique them on the "box"? I love the sketch machine embroidery. I'm just getting into that. It adds so much. I totally am obsessed with this box and I've looked at it like 10 times and shown it to my daughters.
ReplyDeleteWe bought some of those purse thingies but haven't had luck yet with them. I guess i need to find a tutorial.
Can't stop looking at those mushrooms.
What a fantastic idea! I'm now wondering whether it would be possible to do a UK version of that swap - hmmmm, cogs whirring and clanking! Lucy x
ReplyDeletetotally brilliant idea...nice bits!
ReplyDeleteLove this idea, and would love to join in a swap like this!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!
ReplyDeleteThat sure is a great idea for a swap-lucky duck Annie.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great swap idea - I love the fabric you chose and the little fabric bucket you made is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteIs your vintage buckle collection as big as your tape measure stash?? Just asking....

Great idea for a swap - can't wait to see what you make out of your bits
ReplyDeleteVery cool idea. Can't wait to see what you do with the purse.
