Training Day Swaps

Hello, Crafters.

I hope you've enjoyed a fantastic weekend! 

As promised, I have the five swaps I received from training am Saturday

 to share with you! The first swap was made by a new demonstrator

 who joined in January 2018. Sally Murray came to the event

 with two other demos, all the way from Portsmouth

 - the journey must have taken them about 3.5 hours! 

The swap I received from Sally is this hand-stitched note book!  

Although I was able to talk to Sally for a little while, I wasn't able 

to find out very much about her and her bookmaking skills.

 The white lines on the spine of the wallet are stitches where

 Sally has sown the note pads inside. It's absolutely brilliant- a

 great job very well done. Many thanks, Sally!

This is the inside of the wallet and you can see where 

Sally has stitched the centre of the notebooks

This colour chart was a swap from Andrea Nichols - I bet she was 

pleased there were only six of us swapping! This is a great idea 

but there's an awful lot to so. Many thanks, Andrea - I'm so pleased

 I was there on Saturday to receive one! 

This was made by my friend Charry Wijers, who joined 

Stampin' Up! the same time as me Inside the bag is a sachet

 of Hot Drinking Chocolate Powder! Charry used the Better with

 You and the Very Vintage  Stamp Sets, as well as 

Brushos for colouring. Many thanks, Charry - I love a cup of hot

 drinking chocolate before bed!

This Impossible Card is from Rebecca Willmott, who often comes 

up with brilliant ideas using cats. I love the design of this card and

 so pleased I've received one of them! Many thanks Rebecca!

Last and by no means least, this is a Thank You Card front swap.

 Unfortunately, Rachael hasn't put the list of ingredients on the

 back of her card - just for once, I can't complain as I didn't even

 put my name on the back of my swaps!  Many thanks, Rachael!

That's about it from me today. I hope you have a great week,

 and until tomorrow, happy crafting.
