Favorite Crafts

Comment: Thank you Carolyn. I felt a little disappointed by this swap because 3 of the items you sent were plain sheets. I understand that they are old but still... I liked it, it just wasn't a swap that excited me :)

Comment: Are you serious? This was such a precious swap! The beautiful little folder to contain the supplies (which were gorgeous by the way!) right down to the water symbol on the envelope with LIGHTHOUSE stamps! Was that deliberate or a coincidence? I'm absolutely delighted, thank you so much!

Thank you so much for the SSM Pick 2 Tag. The playing cards are so cute and I absolutely love the vintage book pages. If I hadn't just worked a 12 hour day, I'd be crafting with them right now. Aloha
