My Season of Friendship Swap to Jan

I participated in the Season of Friendship swap that Amy of Bumble Bee Lane hosted and was paired up with Jan MacKay of The Primitive Nest . We could pick one season that we liked best and then answered some questions regarding what other prim things we liked.






We were suppose to get to know each other through reading one another blogs and through emails. Jan said she liked little sheepies. So, I made this set of sheep blocks for her to tuck onto a shelf.








Staying on the sheep theme, I made some salt dough sheep and little hearts for Jan to display in an old bowl or trencher. I loved making these little cuties.









And after reading a bit of Jan's blog I found out that her and Phoebe are avid gardeners, so I decided to make a shabby garden sign for her to display.





And any gardener welcomes their friend the bumble bee...They are worth their weight in gold. Flying from one blossom to the other, gathering nectar and happily pollinating all our blossoms that will be fruits...oh my those little critters are mighty efficient. I hand poured Jan a "bee kinde" blackened beeswax ornie with my newest mold. I really love this one.


And anyone that reads Jan's blog knows that she is just "punch drunk" these days. Nope, she hasn't been nipping at the bottle, but at needle punching instead. So decided to make her a little sign she could tuck showing her passion.

I also sent a set of felted coasters that had flowers on them...forgot to take a picture of them as they almost didn't make it into the package. Anyway, it was a blast to get to know Jan through this swap and reading her blog.

Until next time....

Season of Friendship Swap from Jan

I participated in the Season of Friendship swap that Amy of Bumble Bee Lane hosted and was partnered with Jan MacKay of My Primitive Nest. We were able to pick one season that we loved and answered some questions about prim things that we enjoyed. I picked spring as my favorite season.


We were to read each others blog to get to know what each other liked and of course Jan and I exchanged emails. We discussed favorite themes, color preferences, and such. Armed with our knowledge we were to put together a swap package that was our partner..

Jan sent me this cute sewing box with a pin cushion on top. I had posted a while back that I lent my pin cushion to a neighbors daughter and the pin cushion was never returned...boy did Jan do her homework on that one. I don't think I'll be lending this one out!


Jan also sent this cute bunny. I know that I have shared my recent bunny purchases from etsy, but had Jan read my blog that thoroughly to find my post about our real lop earred bunny, Toonies? I think that post is over a year old...wow! Was she ever thorough!


Imagine my surprise when I opened the sewing box and there was this cute little mouse hiding inside. I am a huge Mickey Mouse and stuffed mouse fan...the real ones that scurry around, not so much!

There was also a cute little bird, lip balm, a pad of paper....you know me, the list maker, and a craft picture frame in the box too. Thank you so much Jan for being a great swap partner. Everything was lovely.

Jan's package is on it's way to her as we speak. Seems as I ran the printer out of ink and it refused to print another thing til I was able to get a refill, so with that all take care of, I was able to print the label to send Jan's package on it's way. I'll share what I sent her at a later date...don't wanna ruin the surprise.

Until next time...
