Valentine swap goodness

Thank you all for your suggestions about how to fix my blog template; I appreciate them so much! This weekend I'm going to save a copy of my template and then start fiddling around. Hopefully if you check back on Monday things will look different!

Tomorrow is the last day to sign up for the Sweet Goodness Hanging Hearts Swap! It's easy this time--create a hanging Valentine of some type for your partner. That's it! You can use any medium you'd like--as long as it hangs, it counts. LOL We have a good number of folks signed up already so it's shaping up to be a great group. Friday the 11th is the last day to sign up and then partner emails will go out by next Tuesday. To sign up, just send an email to heartswap2008@hotmail.com.

In addition to the Sweet Goodness swap, I've signed myself up for two other Valentine swaps. They are both the same theme so I figured I could handle two of them without totally overwhelming myself. I'm doing Maria's Sweet Heart Box Swap and ArtsyMama's For the Love of Supplies swap. For both swaps I get to decorate a heart-shaped candy box and fill it up with all sorts of trinkets and goodies in red, white, and pink. I think it sounds like so much fun, and I've already started gathering supplies. It's ironic--both my swap partners are from Anaheim! One is the fabulous Dede Warren, who I got the pleasure to meet at Silver Bella and the other is Amy Bauer, who doesn't have a blog. I'm on the hunt for some great candy boxes to alter--I'm itching to get my fingers all glittery!

  1. I was lucky enough to score two big vintage (1970's) Brach's hearts at a yard sale last summer for 25¢ each. I altered them both and have filled them with so many things. It is amazing how much you can fit in a little candy cup! I wrapped mine in cellophane when I was done, because I don't see how on earth they will arrive looking like I sent it out. Hopefully, that will help. I think this has been one of my favorite swaps thus far!

  2. I'm hoping to get in on a heart box swap next year. With going away in January this year I was afraid I wouldn't be able to complete this swap. Maybe I'll have to host a random fill a box with goodies swap this year hmmm . . .

    I can't wait to see your boxes, I KNOW they will be fabulous.
