I was in Group 9 and got to meet Kathy, Jennifer, and the coordinator herself, Heather! We sent emails to introduce ourselves and to share color and craft favorites.
I really enjoyed decorating the boxes to give and gathering treats to fill them. After looking at my swap-partners’ blogs and seeing their amazing talents, gulp, I hoped that they would be happy with their boxes from me. (I feel so new to all of this!)
Here is what I put together:
Here's what I got!
Each one is absolutely beautiful!

Thank you so much to Heather for all of her effort and for the wonderful swap. Thank you again to my swap partners for the most wonderful treasure boxes. Consider me inspired!
