i've been happily crafting away this past week and i just can't wait another day to share a little glimpse of what i'll be mailing off to my swap friends:) first are the petite inspiration boxes for heather's swap, hosted at her blog
speckled egg . she has hosted this type of swap before - altering little matchboxes and filling them with tiny treasures to use in crafts, projects. i've never done a "little" swap before - and it has been sooo fun. i covered my boxes in old player piano paper and then fashioned a flower for each out of old sheet music. i think i love them - but honestly now that i took a photo and posted it - i can't help but wonder if they look like
sea anemones??? please tell me that they don't! even if you have to lie. that would be okay just this once.
and a little peek of some of the contents...
i was fortunate enough to get in on cathy's "amour box" swap over at
treasured heirlooms, too. i loved that she suggested choosing a color theme for our boxes (shades of
pink, shades of
red, or shades of
white). i chose shades of white, of course:) and here is a little peek at what i am making for this lovely swap...ack! i love swaps! but i need to stop. i really must. maybe.
and then about the ADD? i'm pretty sure i have it. it's why i can't multi-task. it's why i can't seem to finish projects like organizing my paperwork, cleaning out my studio, and really truly getting my laundry room in order. i scored fairly high on the screening quiz and i've diagnosed and treated enough of this in Family Medicine to be quite certain that i do indeed struggle with it. i'm going to see what happens now that i'm aware...maybe i can learn some ways to adapt and be more productive. maybe i'll need medication. i don't know. but i need to go now - my husband wants to talk to me and he knows i can't type and listen to him at the same time. *sigh*
