Mermaid Enchanted Package

A bright starfish crown



I had alot of fun with my 2nd Swap that Gypsy Mermaid Hosted. The Enchanted Swap. I thought the movie was going to be cheesy so I never had intentions of renting it but I'm glad I did b/c the character's outlook on life was so great wasn't it? It's so cheery & uplifting.



The day after we watched it my girls I got dressed up like princesses. Which inspired me to finish all of my projects that I would be sending to Katie. It was so much fun getting all dressed up even if we weren't going anywhere. Here is the complete package.








An angel Art doll










Starfish Wand Jewelry box








Vintage Container with crafting goodies

Baby boxes

While I had my craft mess out yesterday working on the celebrate banner swap. I think I had forgotten what pretty supplies I had so I took the opportunity to finish some long overdue projects. Here are my daughter's keepsake baby boxes where I store my pregnancy journals, hospital bracelets, old outfits, shoes, blankies & announcements.

I think my girls are really going to enjoy opening these in the future. This first suitcase box was purchased from Michaels for $4 with a coupon. On the inside of the lid I added a place to display my daughter's baby announcements and photos. This is a good way to keep our cherished documents from getting bent.
A round hat box makes a beautiful baby keepsakes box. I found a teal skirt at a consignment shop for $1. I made these adorable lace flowers by cutting the tops off of the girls old ruffled socks. I simply swirled the lace and used hot glue to secure a pink pearl to the middles. The strand of pearls I purchased for $1 at the Flea market last year.
