Just for you...

Happy New Year followers!

My winter break is now over and my last semester of college is fast approaching! I start my student teaching on Thursday...talk about nerves and a wild mix of other emotions. 

But onto craftier things...

Once again Kim and I were up to our side swap antics! 

We had decided to do an "initial" theme this time. She designed a PL using 'C' things for me, and I made a 'K' PL for her. She had sent me mine before the new year, and I opted to not open it until she got hers. I must admit, I felt bad for taking so long. But I was struggling! I finally faced my fears and jumped right in. And I wasn't really a fan of my creation until the very end. It suddenly all came together and became so very special. I was mighty proud of it:

K is for...Kites, Kitties, Keys, Knots, Kris Kringle, Kettle, Kind Hearted, K-9 (shout out to all the Whovians!) and last but not least Kaleidoscope! But most importantly, K is for Kim. 

I added loads of K's, and even threw in some K words that I thought fit her. Of course I doubled up on decorations and did my best to make it as cohesive as I could (I like it when things just work together).

And after much waiting (talk about self control) I got to open mine:

C is for Coffee, Creative, Cupcake, Cute, Confetti, Crabby, Crosses, Cookies and of course CATS! C is for Cassandra!

I loved how the little tabs were hand written, and the 'Creative' pocket was especially genius. And of course, CATS! She sent goodies too including a sweet Rhinestone C and a Cherry Jolly Rancher candy (I LOVE JOLLY RANCHERS!). 

What a great way to start the new year! I'm looking forward to our next swap, and in the mean time we'll have to put our heads together to start swap events in our Texas Swap Group!

Until next time,
