I am FAR from perfect and sure I will make many. That is part of the charm of making handmade ornaments. Glad you are looking forward to the swap...so are we!

I think the rule in any swap is, don't send out anything you wouldn't be pleased to receive yourself and after that, it's up to you. There's nothing in the invite that says you can't make mistakes along the way. I'm really looking forward to this one!

Our logo was designed by the very talented Nicole of freshly{blended} and I think its fantastic. Our logo is meant to annouce our swap and it is intended to look festive...which it does.

Jane, i'm sorry that you get nauseous at the site of our swap logo, we never intended it that way. maybe if you join in our swap, you might be able to open yourself up about being so judgemental on people you don't know. being inspired is not about being sleek nor slick, it's about being creative and those that are truly creative get inspired by all things, whether it be very very precise design or loosly drawn illustrations to nature or even architecture. nothing is ever good or bad in art, everything is different. double thank you for posting our swap info!

The more time goes by, the crafts seem to get more and more precious and fancy. Look at this invitation for ornaments. It gives me a sort of nauseous feeling. Too much, too precise. There seems to be less and less room for discovery and mistakes -- more and more about who can come up with the slickest and sleekest. Bleh. What’s happening to homemade/handmade?
