Have a GREAT week!

Hello all! I haven't had much time to blog lately,

so I thought I'd stop by and check in.

Thanks to Cheryl , Jessi and Natalie for letting me tag
along with them last Sunday!

I had a WONDERFUL time at The Barn and met more wonderfully talented women! Missed ya Kim!

The highlight of the day was definitely "Barbie Time" at Cheryl's house! Cheryl took pictures but I'm guessing that she's holding them for blackmailing.

I've been working on a few Spring swaps this week -
pictures coming soon.
Brendan and I are leaving on Wednesday to go to Sacramento and San Francisco with the whole Fourth Grade -
we'll have LOTS of pictures to post when we get back!

Well, one last thing to end the weekend on a high note...

My boyfriend and favorite cupcake, John Mayer set off on the open sea this weekend on his Mayercraft Cruise.
I REALLY love those shorts!!

Have a GREAT week!
xoxo,
Julie

Happy Spring!

Once Upon a Swap

My Vintage Ephemera Group recently had fairytale
swap called "Once Upon a Swap" swap.
We were to make one item based on our partner's favorite fairytale and them include at least 5 other fairytale items.
I had two partners.

My first partner was jillzwhimzy and one of her
favorite fairytales is Thumbelina.
I decided to make her a Thumbelina Cupcake Box.

My other partner was ShabbyJules in Australia.
She loves Alice in Wonderland,
so I made her an Alice Cupcake Box.

I also included lots of other goodies in the swap:


Snow White and Her Peeps


Gummi Pigs and Goldilock's Treats


Little Bear/Baby Bear's Porridge Spoon


Magic Wands


Vintage Puzzles


Vintage Snow White & Little Red Riding Hood

I had SO MUCH fun putting these swaps together!
I think that my partners were happy with them.
Can't wait to see what they've sent me!!
I'll share with you when they arrive!

xoxo,
Julie
