Close up of the great pins and love the handmade paper flowers. The tag is covered with lace. The swap was hosted by Tee at http://thealteredpaper.blogspot.com/ Thanks for being my swap partner Valery!
Flowers : This is my first attempt at a lolly pop flower, you know the kind made with silky material and you burn the edges to make them curl. I used a 4 in wide cream colored satin ribbon to make this one. I sure need to get a light to do these, I used a match, lol, not good idea. After I put it together I sprayed it with some shimmer mist I made. I must be doing something wrong, does not shimmer much. Then added some pink glitter glue.
Here is a group of flowers I have been working on. I joined a handmade flower swap over at http://minialbumscraps.ning.com. These may or may not be in this swap. I have some crochet ones in there, my grandmother taught me how to crochet when I was just a kid. Really glad she did.
These are some mini spiral paper roses with glitter glue and I made a base of lace for them.
Here are some larger paper roses with a silk leaf added. 
WEATHER: It has been wonderful weather here in Florida. A few cloudy days , low 70's. I have been working on a few swaps. One I have to get finished is the pin cushion swap. I have never made one of these, so I am slow. Going to start making my #8 mystery swap today sorry I am a little behind on that one. And need to get the tag a month done for Feb. over at Tee's. Got the mini junk journal swap done and sending it this week. Turned out good I think. After my partner gets it I will post pic's All for now thanks for looking and come back soon.blessings
