Swaps and more swaps!!!! Halloween mail art exchange 2015

I was warned "swapping" can be addictive and by jolly it is.

This year so far I have taken part in 5 (some double swaps) , I have 3 more to do and they are so much fun and the bonus you get to meet lovely , kind people too.

I have been partnered in the Twelve days of Christmas swap (picture on my sidebar) hosted by Jo, click on the picture and it should take you to her blog which is a lovely read...and am just waiting to hear from my partner now.

I am finishing off my swaps for the Paper and String swap...you still have time to join in , details on the Paper and String blog.

I have started a few things for my Christmas Santa 2015 swap and now I'm feeling festive making things for the craft fairs at Christmas time too..  I say fairs , this year I plan only to do 2 . Last year I did 4 in the space of  12 days and well it was too much what with all the things that happen in December anyway.  So this year I am just going to enjoy the 2 planned.


The Halloween swap was a secret one.  I was lucky to receive my swap from Lynda Ruth from http://twododo.blogspot.co.uk.


Such beautiful stitching
I was so delighted to receive this

Thank you Lynda Ruth


and these were the goodies 
Inside the envelope 
Including a photo of the lady herself.



I sent this to Mary from http://ipiece2-mary.blogspot.com/





I so enjoyed making this for Mary



I stitched a little "present" pocket



buttons


charms and purple ribbon 


I put together a skeleton scissor fob


Some more ribbons and 
Sweeties.

Mary loved what I sent which has made me very happy.

Ingrid arranged this swap 
and it was lots of fun too!
Thank you Ingrid


I have another post to do for the Seasons Swap

I have had lots of problems yet again
with blogging and accessing
my photo's
somehow loads got stored in 
2013 albums!!!
maybe a little bit of 
Hocus Pocus 
going on ?????


See you soon

      I understand what you mean but I do enjoy the swaps too. Some haven't been too much making..others no making at all. X

    what a fab swap. We'd struggle finding Halloween items here unless at Spotlight. No one goes trick or treating around here which makes it easy.

      The USA obviously is really big on Halloween, it is getting more popular here though. No tricking here either we are the only ones in the village with kids.xx
