Woohooohoooohoooo!!!!! I got my box of crafty goodness from Barbara today. She made me a painting on a tray, so it could be used as a tray, but it won't!!! My painting is titled "Cosmic Love" and I love it. It is everything I like, funky, eclectic, and colorful. Thank you Thank you again Barbara!!! Barbara will post a pic when she gets my pm.

    When people post pictures of their trade item, could they also post the words that inspired it? That'd be cool. Mine is SOOO almost ready to ship. I'm shipping Monday fo' sho'!

            Tracey, could you PM me Spanker's address? I have her as a partner for the CV Doll/Tou trade and I don't have her address. Duh! I messaged her, but no response so far. I wanted to get it out today. If you don't feel comfortable doing this, I'll understand.

            Hey Tracey,
            It is in the mail, has been for a few days, so should be there soon. My camera is on the fritz, so hopefully you can take a pic of it when it gets there to post here. Thanks so much for my little box, I really like the silver trim. If you have a pic, it is safe to post it now that I have my lump of crafty goodness!

                  The pictures are as best as I could get - my camera is having "issues" again...

                  The sari fabric sides are a rich red with gold embroidered paislies and vines and other henna-like design. Just perfect!

    I got my stuff! Thank you, Mouse, for the beautiful little wooden box. I love it! I love how everyone can read a quote and get something totally different out of it. The travel theme is inspirational, I need to do more travelling abroad. I will use the box to remind and encourage me. The sticky notes are way cool, too. Never seen them like that before. Thanks again!

      glad you like it. originally i was going to use some antique maps i got when my grandmother died but i cut em wrong and scramble around for a replacement.

      i've decided to give the bowl lady a necklace to cover the glue mark around her neck, i hope you don't mind.

        That's perfect! I love to add a little something to everything I receive in these trades. It's sharing art.

          oh i am sooo thrilled with what kim made for me!! my inspiration was from my friend karen's poem -- " look in your tears; you will see your soul"
          she started with a journal called "a woman's path" then embellished the cover with three dimensional, textural additions like fibre and coloured stones, beautiful words and images, then complimented it with a macramed bookmark that is cleverly attached to the spiral spine. i'll post pics tomorrow. kim, thank you so much. it is truly lovely and so well crafted.
