First off, I forgot to include this in my "Lucky Girl" post. And it certainly makes me a lucky girl - it is the bag of goodies I got from Rebecca for winning third prize in the Sweet Goodness Swaps Container Contest. Wow! There were so many great containers and I was honored to win. I am so excited by this little pack of fun that arrived while I was on my blogging break. Included was a dish towel, vintage pillow case (may just have to make me my own bag with the pillowcase), an orange potholder (crocheted by Rebecca), and a bag of trims and buttons. Thanks to Rebecca for the goodies and to the ladies of Sweet Goodness Swaps! Have you signed up for the Holiday Mini-Swaps? Sounds like so much fun to spread the goodness throughout the season!
Second, a work in progress for another swap - the Embroidered Button swap. I guess I'm going for a "Five a Day" theme here. I sat down on Sunday night with a little Netflix (Veronica Mars Season 1) and got going on these. They are so much fun! I got a little inspiration from this pic and did a pineapple and watermelon, but then I just went for it with the strawberry, carrot, and broccoli. Now I just have to find the big shank buttons I bought at the thrift store so I can finish these up.And lastly, I finally did it - I finally signed up for the Pay it Forward crafting gift fun. After having several opportunities to join in the fun, I finally did it and signed up to have Missy send me a handcrafted gift sometime in the next year. So, part of this means that I have to Pay it Forward and send something out to three of you. So, I will send a handmade gift to the first three (3) people who leave a comment on my blog requesting to join this PIF exchange. I don't know what that gift (although I have some ideas) will be yet, but you will receive it within 365 days. The only thing you have to do in return is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog. So, if you've resisted joining in or haven't heard of this yet, join in the fun - I'd love to send you something!

What a great package from the goodness girls! I love that towel. The embroidered buttons is such a neat idea, I haven't seen that before. I think I could have a lot of fun with that idea. I wouldn't mind joining in on the pay it forward project, sounds like fun!
I would love to join in the fun! What a great idea! Oh, and yes, you are one lucky girl!!
Wow. I didn't know you could embroider too! That is really beyond me. You are amazing. I think I will pass on joining (assuming knitters are included.) I am already signed up for two knitting/spinning exchanges and I better be careful. At least I am not knitting many Christmas gifts this year. I do have orders for three knitted Christmas stockings from Wool Cabin customers, though, so I'm still keeping busy!
I need to get this show on the road! I guess I was sorta waiting to get mine from Laurie and my que to get going-- but I just need to get my rear in gear. You are so crafty cute! Let's do some embroidery at our girls night.
I was looking at the sweet goodness swap and saw that they only allow previous swappers or those with a recommendation. Could you recommend me? Feel free to say no as we only know each other from blogging back and forth. Anyway have a great day!!
I just did the Crafty Pay it Forward on my blog..good to see it's blossoming. What a great idea. AND..can't wait to see what you make!
What a great prize package! I love the orange pot holder!
That orange pot holder is fab! What great stuff you received.
