Marcy i received your wonderful package yesterday. It looks like it got lost and it was pretty beat up but the altoid tin survived. It looks really cute. I will try and post a pic this weekend. Love the additional goodies you included, inspiration for some other projects i can send to farmgirls. Yours is ready to go just have to wrap it up and put it in the mail.

Becky -- still in the production phase.
Got the front cover done, but life events keep interupting. I hope to have decorations completed by Monday.
(DH has cataract surgery Tuesday -- he only has one good eye.. keep him in your prayers girls). So I've been trying to finish up all the swaps I have going. LOL.. nothing like overcommitting to stimulate the creative juices LOL !
Have a great day, All !

Mary, a fellow buckeye who chose Texas over the snow belt!,
Last time I was able to load a picture without any problem - this time can't begin to figure it out. Thank-you for the cute tin - it has a wonderful red, snowy house (two story on front) -inside a wonderful Santa on the lid looking at a 3d tree and toys. It is really cute and I am sure it will be admired by other family members. Also in the package was a homemade Christmas card that I can send to a friend and a Christmas kitchen set (towel, potholder, etc.) Thank you so much - it definately brightened a gloomy weather day! Happy Holidays!

Portia, thanks so much! Your precious tin arrived today and I love it.
The little doll face bottlecap magnets inside are so darn cute. Love
the stretchy Christmas bracelet that was also inside. Love how you
did the top with the pearls and little girl holding her dolly. What a
fun package to open!

THANKS BECKY.. YOURS IS AMAZING! I will get pictures made end of week for all to see! I'll check to see if I remembered to take a picture of my tin too. I love to see all pictures of all the swaps..
Oh.. someone told me last swap how to upload to this forum last swap.
1st Save picture to my computer and name it.
Then look above this white frame and you will see the word "Message: [ ] " to the top left. Click on the Square. Then search for your picture, and click on it to load.
I preview it before hitting submit, cause the preview will show the picture.
I am sooo NOT techie.. this is about as techie as I can get. At least I can aske the little grandkinder for help. LOL... Happy Christmas !

Hello ladies! I'm so happy to hear everyone is enjoying their tins!! Nancy - the tin you made is just SO adorable... The picture of the little girl baking is one of my favorites!
I apologize for the delay, but here are the pics of the lovely tin Denise made for me:
Isn't it just magical? I love the gilded Victorian feel - it's so, so pretty! My camera just doesn't do it enough justice! Thank you SO much, Denise! I will treasure it for years to come!!!
And, as per Denise's request, here is the one I made for her:
Please do post pictures when you can, girls - we all just really love to see each other's creations!
Hugs -

Thanks for posting the pics Nini, the tins turned out so
amazing and show off some wonderful creativity by their crafters.
Everytime I see a new picture I'm inspired all over again. They
are all so unique and special. Thanks so much for hosting this!

BECKY... Finally got my pics made.. I have pictures of both tins - lighting was tricky since they are so small.
Such a wonderful tin you sent! The cover is hand painted (realy nice) of a snow scene with people walkting to an old church with a really tall steeple. Winter trees covered in snow add a wonderful touch to the picture. In side there was a lovely porcelain Christma Bell.. likely handpainted also. Also came with a FUN Santa.. Pull his string and he does a little jig. Other pictures on the tin were also handmade. SOOO WONDERFUL. THANK YOU !!!

BECKY.. since my camera is working (well ONE of them is..) I took a picture of the tin I sent to you and will post it here. The outside has a little paper house that I constructed, and inside is a picture of an old-fashioned Santa and a 3-D tree (Idea on the tree from Teresa Julian's tag swap- thank's Teresa!) I just love seeing what everyone does. And hope it's okay with you .. HAVE A MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS !!

SOOOO cute, indeed! Awesome!
Linda - Thank you SO much for the treats and for sending me the pics of the tins. This was SO thoughtful of you! And your card is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! SUCH a talented lady!!! The tins came out soooo cute! I am having trouble scanning the pictures, though - they are coming out rather blurry. I'm going to see if my friend can scan them for me this weekend and send them via email. Maybe she can get a clearer scan for them, and then I can post them from there - the girls really need to see these awesome creations!!! :) I'll post them as soon as possible if she can get a good set of scans for us!!!
Thank you so much, girls, for participating... What do you say - shall I start a post for a Valentine tin swap??? Let me know what you think!
Hugs -

You are so welcome Nini and I'm glad to know the package arrived
ok. The inside of the tins pics came out clear but had difficulty
getting a really clear pic of the fronts of them. Think my camera
is acting up on me again.
Loved the pics of Mary Jane and Becky's tins, they were amazing.
