Happy New Year !!!!

And Happy Pink Saturday !!! :) Thank you Beverly for being such a wonderful Hostess !! :) :)

2010 was a Great year :) Not so much health-wise for me, but in creating pretties and making new friends :) My goal was to get out there more and meet new people, and I did :)

January ~

I was in TWO awesome swaps with four very sweet girls :) Heather's @ Speckled Egg's "Petite Inspiration Valentine Swap" I made these wee boxes for my partners, Kathy, Cerri and Elyse. The second swap was Cathy's "Amour" Valentine swap and Lucky Me I got Cathy herself as a partner ! :) I made her a pink heart cake box.

I Oil Painted with my Mom that month, had a thoroughly wonderful Girls day painting. I love you Mom !!! :)March ~

I hosted my Very First Swap !!!! There were 72 members and it was a BLAST !! I definitely want to do this same one again this year, if you all are interested. :) Again, I had the Most Wonderful Partners !! Terri, Sarah, and Denise. These are the baskets I made from Yogurt cups. ( Girls start saving your yogurts :) )Each was filled with Five things. ( don't have a picture of the fifth thing and cant even remember what it was , lol !! :) ) I also made a lot for my shop. Easter is my FAVORITE time of the year and I could make things ALL year for this Holiday if I could :)Bunny Town, U.S.A :)April ~
