Thanks Katy!!

Oh my goodness, how exciting. I received my swap all the way from the UK today. I couldn't get it out of Mr Postie's hands quick enough. Katy from i'm a ginger monkey has made some very sweet things - all for me. Katy I love them all and can't stop touching everything. I love the large and mini babushka, sewing pouch with little pockets, ribbons and even a button holder with some lovely buttons. Those ribbons on the dolly peg I've already got ideas how to use them. All of my lovely things came in a beautiful black spotty bag with a cute stamped monkey. How lucky am I! They are all in my favourite colours and I recognise some of the prints from other blogs which I've been dying to order. There is a mikodesign on the little babushka and an auntycookie print on the large babushka. Thank you soooo much Katy, be sure to look out for me in future swaps. Although it is only my first swap I'm already hooked!
How much fun is this blogging business? I'm inspired everyday by wonderful people out there in bloggie land. Previous to blogging I was crafting in obscurity and now it has just opened up a whole new avenue to meet people who share the crafty love. Thank you craftsters one and all and especially my new friend Katy.

Blog-anniversary

This lovely curvy lady is going to be turned into some sweet bookmarks. Stay tuned!

This time last year after reading a Sydney Morning Herald article on blogging I found Leslie at onegirl. After looking at her fabo site she got me all inspired. I finally got the courage to post about a few crafty adventures and of course am totally hooked. To celebrate my one year blogging anniversary I am now participating in my first ever swap. I found a great site by Katy, i'm a ginger monkey,(on Saturday) and she is running a Russian Doll Swap. First swap ever, so of course I sent off my swap package today. Keen, yes siree! We had the Queen's Birthday long weekend so I spent Monday printing and packaging my surprise. So exciting, but also nervous I hope Katy likes what I made. Anyhoo Happy Blog - Anniversary to Me! Still loving it one year on.
