      Sigh....

      I'm going to have to sit this one out, this time... I'm in financial straights, and I can't afford shippinf costs, even if it was next door.

      I'm going to the corner to pout now.......

      But I'll be eagerly awaiting the pictures!

      Blessings

      Gee cannot imagine why your partner wouldn't like what you have in mine. I thing just the idea of someone taking the time to make something for you is special.

        Yes, but when you review someones profile, a distinct style comes to mind.
        Everyone is differnet.
        Things are not the same to all people.
        I gift to the indiviual, what I think they would like.
        What I started making would not go over big with my partner, I can tell.
        So I am currently rethinking what I could make her that she would like.
        I don't gift, "one gift fits all"

        ?!?!?!?!

          yes I know what you mean. I always start jumping the gun. But the whole thing goes smoother once I know a bit about the person I'm giving for.

          This is great therapy by the way. My Grandma who did tons of crafts just passed away. After recently seeing some of her creations that I'd never seen before, I am looking forward to crafting something tiny and precious!

            I agree, Ms. S. My husband asked me, "Don't you have something already made you can use?" That's not the point! The point is to make something FOR someone. That's the fun! Sometimes a challenge, when the person doesn't have a lot on their profiles, so get stuff up there, all you folks with one picture in your profile! Inquiring craters want to know you!

              Inquiring craters? I like that.
              Glad you're not going to give me that thing you made five years ago, not sure you like it, and don't know what to do with it.
              I'm gathering my supplies....inspiration is coming....mad sketchbook sketching and noting! So many ideas! hmmm. hmm hmmm!

                    I'm almost done with my trade items! I may have gone beyond the 3" minimum by a hair or two, but I'm happy with what I've wrought.

                      oh gosh Kathleen I love what I made you so much, I almost want to keep it for myself!! I'd make another but I doubt it would lack the spontenaety and charm that came out in yours.

                      I have just a few details, I need to have some other artsy folk give me some feedback on some finishing touches.

                      This is so fun...if it weren't for this trade, I wouldn't be working in this medium. Also I find that when making something for a particular person, new things happen that never would if you were making it just for the sake of making it. Thanks Kathleen for the inspiration!
