I've been busy the last few weeks working on projects for several blog swaps... one of which was A Swap for All Season's Mother's Day Swap. The goal was to find a special vintage brooch for our partner to wear on Mother's Day.
Now I have to tell you that Linda, our hostess, was amazing! She not only had specific guidelines for the swap (which are much needed), but lots of posts with ideas, pics, giveaways and fun along the way!
My partner was Jill, and look at what she sent me...
What girl can resist some SPARKLE?
... we were asked to be imaginative and creative in how we packaged and "presented" our brooch to our partner... Jill embellished a pretty little candle with stamped burlap, some "aged" ribbon, and at the very center - the lovely brooch.
Even her enclosure note was creative and feminine...
Thank you so much, Jill! I can't wait to wear my brooch!
I'm sharing my lovely brooch with the gals over at the White Wednesday party at Faded Charm...
and at A Swap for All Seasons.
Love your candle with the brooch!
