My Swap With Dana!

Hope you are all having a wonderful Monday! The sun is shining and I think it is supposed to be a pretty mild day. We are back in school and back into a routine. Still finding time to go to the pool after school, squeezing the last few drops out of Summer!

As promised I want to share my wonderful handmade goodies that I got from Dana  in our swap. She is so talented, and everything looks and smells soooo good! You can get all of these goodies on her website, she is working on new Fall creations right now, I can’t wait to see….

Here is her folk lamb. The detail on him is wonderful!

I TOLD you she spoiled me! What a dear and generous friend she is! Thank you Dana, I will enjoy these for a long time and I will think of you whenever I look at them or melt them (if I can ever bring myself to melt them)! Haha! :)

One more picture to get you in the mood for Fall. Dana’s Pumpkin Tarts (also from a previous swap). These are my absolute favorite thing that she makes!  They are scented in Pumpkin Crunch, my favorite scent!

That’s all for today! I am going to do some work around the house and then I am heading to the gym later! I hope you all have a wonderful day!

I will leave you with this quote.

“Friendship can weather most things and thrive in thin soil - but
      it needs a little mulch of letters and phone calls and small silly 
      presents every so often  - just to save it from drying out completely”.
                                                                            - ~Pam Brown~

Give that special friend a call today, let them know you are thinking of them. Or maybe stick a small package in the mail just to make them smile! :)

Until next time, take care.

  10. Oh. my. goodness. That was one wonderful swap, Sarah! (I think I just shorted out my keyboard from the drool!) Enjoy all of that fall loveliness ... and maybe just a little more time at the pool too. We return to the routine here on Monday, August 30th.

    And then -- hopefully -- I can get back into the crafting groove ;)

    Have a great week, my friend!
