I was paired with Shirley from
Zetta's Aprons. Our task was to make an ornament using a large round cookie cutter, and then include some additional goodies, as well as a favorite candy in our swap package. My partner (Shirley) is a very talented artist and a beautiful writer. If you haven't visited her
blog, it's one of those sites that you could spend hours happily exploring. Her swap goodies were perfectly PERFECT and included all kinds of special embellishments.
Aren't the graphics that she used on her cookie cutter just delightful?
I'm especially smitten with that little witch graphic.
Shirley also sent me all kinds of wonderful diecuts that I've been making photocopies of to use on crafting projects.
I absolutely love the "Nightmare before Christmas" themed tag too.
Thank you, Shirley! I love it all!
In case you're wondering, this was the cookie cutter that I decorated for Shirley!
I also included a Halloween inspired framed bingo card and a bunch of other Halloween goodies.
Thanks to Deb and Sandy for hosting the Cookie Cutter Swap...and thank you again to my wonderful swap partner, Shirley!
Because I think everyone deserves a little handmade Halloween, I've decided it's time for a Kim K. Halloween-inspired give-away.
Halloween bunting!
Halloween-inspired bingo art!
A well-dressed owl!
A felted pumpkin, candy corn m&m's and a decorated peat pot.
So many Halloween goodies, just waiting to go to a good home! In order to be entered in the giveaway, leave me a comment on this blog post.
