OK....I know....it's not even December yet...I know....But there is a method to my madness....During this time of year, a lot of craft items go on sale, reds, pinks, silver, white things...Things that can be used for Valentine's Day... Here's where I am going with thiS
Remember the precious boxes we would make in grammer school around Valentine's Day? All red, pink, white, and glittered??? Well, several years ago I hosted this swap and had a lot of interest so I am throwing it out to see if anyone wants to swap again.

Partners were assigned as you signed up. Have a great time crafting away!! Smiles
**********************************************************************
You would decorate a box (could be wooden or the paper mache ones that Hobby Lobby and places like that sale). Around the size of a Kleenex brand tissue box....or a cigar box....Let's stick to the colors that used to be Valentine. Reds, pinks, silver, white...You can paint or use paper, just cover neatly and completely.....Then decorate with vintage valentines, flowers, ribbons, hearts, whatever says Happy Valentine's Day to you (within reason, of course)hehe....You might want to glue knobs on the bottom for feet to gus it up a bit. Or add a little catch on the front to keep peekers from looking in... Then of course you will include a handmade Valentine from you all tucked inside..It could be another vintage one, or a postcard, or the possibilities are limitless...
So be thinking and looking...It will be here before you know it!!
Sign up ends January 3rd and Send out will be January 20th.
So go ahead and get your box all painted or papered and have that much done...so all the fun stuff will be to do later...
Alright, who's in? Girls....Cupid????
You can never be to kind! |

Do you have a picture of what the box should look like? Square tissue box or rectangular?

Welcome Pilar, The box can be purchased from Hobby Lobby, Joann's or such., but a rectangle one. You could use a cigar box....That shape. Hope this helps

Sorry ladies but I have to bail out. Too much on my plate, late with too many things.

Already got ideas rolling around & I'm hoping I get a partner who loves Victorian or Shabby Chic :) I found a real Victorian Trading card in my stash,to use for the focal point of my box & the colors are just so vivid, for its age ;) Real pretty, just right for the occasion :)

Madeline,
Are you sure we were not seperated at birth? LOL!
I have been on Pinterest looking at everything shabby and
victorian. My craft room is in shabby chic colors now. a very
pretty soft willow green, creams and pinks. Love it! Girlfriend,
I have been on the internet since 4:55 AM. Now I know why all
my wrinkles and lines have dropped 3 inches below my chin. Lack of sleep. LOL! Dh asked me how can crafters stand to look at craft
things 24/7. I told him it is because our creative minds are working
24/7. He said with a grin "it must be a sickness" I said with a
grin and a firm look.."No it is not a sickness, it is a gift from
God." He just smiled. LOL!
Here is a picture (I hope it turns out) Of my shabby chic bulletin
board I made from an old mirror frame. I hope you can see the pretty cream victorian/shabby chic bauble you made hanging on it. I love it!
The envelope hanging there is a love letter my hubby sent me when he
was in the Army in 1968. The other pics are of my craft room. Betty
Boop holds my coffee or diet coke when I am sewing. I bought her at a
garage sale for $5.00 She is about 3 feet tall.
I have had several farmsisters wanting to see pics of my craft room, so I included a few here for all to enjoy.
Blessing to you farmsister. Lots of hugs too!
