I've been busy the last few days working on my swap gifts... I went a little crazy and joined 5 swaps which all come due within the next week!
As I started photographing my projects, I realized that I had used quite a bit of blue... in all shades, tones... inspiring blue! I had to be cautious with my posting... as I don't want my swap partners to get a sneak preview...
... no swap is complete with the sharing of beautiful ribbons....
... I discovered a new way to refinish old, tarnished (fake) gold pins.... I was amazed at how easy it was! A little paint, some glitter.... the ugly butterfly turns into a sparkling beauty!
... I used some of my French blue silk leaves from Rose Mille....
...a pretty little handmade tag/card for my partner...
Some final touches to the package before I seal it....
(... OK , so not really blue, more like lavender.)
2 down, 3 more to go! I hope my partners like their gifts!
Happy Blue Monday! I'm linking to Smiling Sally's party...
