@geekgirl and I did a personal swap We agreed to a little crafty thing and an envelope of paper ephemera type things. I made a special request for some Scrappy Embellishments and I got 'em! geekgirl completely spoiled me. Not only did I get what I requested but she also sent me some inchies, decorated tags, a round thingy (I don’t know if it has a name), and a little crafty book! I also told her I’d be happy with just a bunch of printed words/phrases because I hate using our printer (it’s a long process and I just don’t like it) so she gave me some of those as well Here’s the loot
I feel so lucky! I have been admiring her scrappy embellishments since I first saw them! Thank you @geekgirl for reaching out to me for a swap and then for agreeing to make some for me I’m over the moon feeling completely spoiled. Thank you!!!

@geekgirl is such a talented paper artist! Those round things are called ATC coins!
I received a couple atcs from @LindaP from the Discord swap,
It’s raining today, so it will be perfect to plant.
@Lynx THANK YOU so much for swapping with me! I do not have anything with my user name on it. And this is only the second piece clover themed! Quality, for sure!!
I hope you like mine for you (although it is significantly smaller than a TEN INCH HOOP! You said small!!), but I made it with intention and good thoughts. Big hugs to you, my friend. You are a gem!

After a difficult weekend, I checked my mail today from this very happy tiny (I asked for small) hoop from the super talented @JoyfulClover–from my Pinterest!
Your hoop is awesome, @JoyfulClover! I love all the different colours you used. I didn’t know it was possible to paint a hoop, let alone wood burn it! I’m always impressed by your artwork.
@Lynx I am so happy you like it, and it lifted your spirits today! You are an excellent swap partner! thank you for coming to my hoopla rescue!
thanks, @AIMR and @Nou! I like to do something with the hoops, and am trying to break out of my rut of just painting. BUT I did learn to paint first THEN burn. It stinks more, and I’m sure it’s bad (is this paint gonna ignite? WHO KNOWS?), but it was easier than having to go back and touch up.
{also…check you out @Nou! I see you posting! yeah!}
