SECRET SISTERS STASH SWAP

Recently I hae been watching these amazing youtube videos about a group of women that swap handmade craft projects mainly altered boxes on a monthly basis. These boxes also contained craft supplies that appeared to me at least to be newly bought specifically for that exchange.





These videos excited me on many levels. Just the thought of receiving such a package myself not only brought tears to my eyes but created such a longing deep within my heat! I want happy mail too!! I want to share my talents with people who would truly appreciate the time and effort that went into them. I soo could see myself doing this.


My first inclination was to find out how to join this already established swap group but the thought of a monthly deadline was enough of a reson to give me pause. For me anyhow to do a project justice and to fill the box with goodies specifically tailored to my swap sister wouild take more than a mere month.

This got me thinking... What if there were a swap group that existed that not only swapped on a two or three month basis, exchanged hand made gifts and shared supplies from our stashes that we are not currently using and that we know another sister would just die for. All with the goal in mind of keeping the shipping costs very low and if you must buy then do so at sales, resale shops, garage sales etc. How wonderfully challenging that would be and just thinking of happy mail makes me squee!

So on my ustream show I had mentioned this idea to the community there a couple of times and there was an interest in moving forward with the swap and hence this blog post.


I am going to keep things simple. First of all I am looking for another moderator(s) to run this with me. If you are interested please send me a direct message on twitter @morganlefaegaia.


A google group will be created specifically for this swap as well as a seperate email address. Please find these located below

Secret Sister Stash Swap Group

secretsisterstashswap@gmail.com


HERE ARE THE GROUND RULES

1. Swaps are to be made within a 3 month period. If you need more time no worries just le the moderators know and we will contact your swap sister to inform her.



2. There will be a different theme for each swap (approximately 4 per year)



3. A database will be set up on the group. Please fill this out with as much detail as possible. The more we know about you the more your swap can be tailored to you.



4. We encourage you to be as creative and as thrifty as possible with your swaps. Buy new as little as possible.



5. Please make a video for Youtube, a stream on Ustream or a detailed entry on your personal blog.

PROJECT RULES

1. Follow the current swap's theme



2. Remember to sign and date your projects. Please include your email and or your blog so that we know who exactly who made this project.

I am so excited for this new swapping venture! I look forward to seeing happy videos and squeals of delight!

BE CREATIVE BE POSITIVE AND ABOVE ALL HAVE FUN!

Tag Your It!

Hi There Folks!

I just put up some pics of the latest tags I have finished. I am pretty proud of myself for finishing up stuff before moving onto new projects. I used a bunch of the tag backgrounds that I have been experimenting with for a while now. They were piling up! I have to say that I am truly enjoying my Big Shot and am devouring any technique videos I can find. If any of you know of some cool videos for the big shot feel free to send them my way:D

I did get some more dies and embossing folders on the weekend so will have to explore and play with those now too.

Here is the link to my flickr (click the pic) and as always thanks for looking! Feel free to leave me a comment or any suggestions you might have!


Happy Arting!

100 day Co-Creating our Reality Challenge

Thanks to Dale Anne Potter I was introduced to this wonderful site

Co-creating our Reality

I will be starting my Season 1 beginning on July 5th, 2011 which is my 39th birthday. What a fabulous way to start out my journey towards the big 4-0.

Funny thing is that I was just the night before thinking about re-reading my books by Abraham-Hicks on the Law of Attraction, and the book on hermetics called Kyballion. How synchronistic is that!!

I am so excited to make my dreams a reality!

Anyone feel like joining me?

Flickr Slideshow

Just added a slideshow at the bottom of this blog from my flicker account:

Just loaded 20 or so more up to date colour artwork though there is plenty more to come from what I have been doing in the last few months alone.

Thanks for looking!

A Big Shot for my Bday

Ok For those of you who know me know that for months now I have been dying to get my hands on a Big Shot die cutting/embossing machine to play with in my arts and crafts. Well I now know where I will be getting my Big Shot now. At a lovely shop in St Mary's, Ontario, Canada called McPheresons. Not only was it one of the few places I could find that would order me a Big Shot they charge American pricing for one and for two no shipping charge!! Whoo Wee!! Hook me up!! So from my dear lovely hubby I am getting a Big Shot for my Anniversary/Birthday present and I am impatient for it like a little kid on Christmas morning waiting impatiently to open the presents.
