10. I'm a blogger, Follow me part 1

This swap was to interact with more blogs. To follow 10 blogs and have 10 blogs follow you. That's a chance to gain insight to 20 new blogs! It was really cool that so many people joined this swap. It's unifying, in a way, because it shows that we all are looking for a way to connect with more people.


This is the first half of the blogs I plan on featuring. The next half will be up tomorrow :D. Enjoy & happy swapping.

The layout is so playful! My favorite entry so far is the one where she takes in baby sheep! It's complete with pictures and it's super adorable. To be honest, all the pictures in this blog are pretty stunning. I'm really looking forward to reading more because I'm really into learning about small family farms because of their sustainability in the world. Super self-sufficient and I think that's awesome!


@sharylove

This blog is really informative and open. I'm not a mother, so I feel I can't relate as others may be able. However, this should be considerate an excellent resource! There are many articles on breastfeeding and parenting. The recipe for those cupcakes looks incredible!


@stampkrl

This layout was neat too! I thought the info for this blog was really funny and to the point. I like how open this blog is. It's super inviting into her live and I think that's interesting. And of course, I'm excited for more craft talk from this lady.


@QUEENQUISA

Ah, the mastermind behind this swap :D. I love that I got to see behind the scenes of this swap. Making it as one of the top swaps is really a big deal! The little pictures throughout the posts are fun and interesting. I like that she enjoys recipes cause I do too! This should be great!


@MforShort


Love, love, love the colors o this layout! And she's living in the town that my best friends live in! Double win! I really enjoy the thoroughness of her writing. All of the craft projects that I've seen on here seems super fun and seem family oriented. Even the blog's name has me intrigued and inspired.

9. Surprising Crafts

I know. I'm totally late in sending this swap out. But only cause I have a really hard time planning my day to reach the post office in time. Oh well, it went out today and is only two business days late :)


This was for "Surprise your partner with your craft swap". I obviously choose to make a duct tape wallet. I try some new things that I think came out perfect. I also made an ATC for my partner, but since it has her name on it, I'm a little weary of posting it on the ~interwebs. My partner sent my first dotee doll and two awesome ATCs.

This is the front. I tried to make them look like red sunflowers, but I'm horrible at creating flowers.



This is when it is opened. TONS of pocket space!



The inside. Two more pockets added for good measure.



The out side opened up.



A close up of the back.



And finally, the zipper! This was the first time I attempted a zipper. It was a little difficult, but I will definitely do it again.

A few people I work with want one now. This happened a few years ago when I worked at Curry. I don't mind making them, but I refuse to sell them. Once money becomes involved, it starts to resemble a job. I hate work, so every wallet I make it purely a gift. It was made because I WANTED to, not because I was paid to make it.



Also, everyone should be looking forward to a future blog I'll be working on that deals with the "I'm a Blogger, Follow me" swap :D

2. Sizzlin' Summer

Concept for a Photo Swap. I snapped this today in my backyard. I'm not sure if I like yet. I think it's interesting, but is it really "Sizzlin'"?
