Friends in Blog Places

I'm not really sure where the time goes but it's already 10:20 pm, Sunday nite and I have done not one project this weekend! Craft project that is. To make myself feel better I can at least say I partially cleaned the craft room--dusted, rearranged, cleaned the desk, put a lightbulb in my BIG thrifted lamp (5.00 and it even had a shade), rearranged my containers, carted my papers/boxes back from the dining room into the craft room, and organized some of my craft books in here--I could of accomplished way more, but why have so much fun in one day? Then with all that out of the way, I should have started working on an Eastery project as I've seen a ton of wonderful things around bloggyidtyville and I have done NONE...instead, I did what every logical procrastinator does, go and check my email and blog surf for a bit. Well time escaped me, and I still have no craft project done, my package to Tiffaney not put together (I promise I will get it out ASAP!), but I did take a picture of some mail goodies I received on Saturday from one of the sweetest ladies around, dear Christy, who remembered from long ago me talking about my Americana craft room and thought of me when she thrifted this adorable basket and wanted to send some sweet goodness to me. She also added a bunch of great papers and some lovely ribbons and buttons to the mix that I can use in my collages or clipboards. Thank you, Christy, I love everything and will put to good use all that you have given me!

Christy is also participating in the Spring Fling swap brought to you by ,
Sweet Goodness Swaps, which speaking of swaps, have I introduced my new partner? I'm swapping this time with the uber talented, and wonderfully sweet Raesha who sews, scrapbooks, makes cards, quilts, stamps and LOVES TO SWAP!! After reading her blog over since we've been paired, I see that she has been in a ton of swaps and well, I would just like to come over to her house and rummage through her goodies she's received!!! WOW! In addition, she touches so many with her kindness, she is constantly getting happy mail. I am looking forward to tayloring some S-P-R-I-N-G happiness to travel her way this month.

I still haven't updated my link list with all the swappers...that's a major project again..LOL..so I want to feature a few that joined in since I posted the links to feature all these talented peeps until I update :):
