Swaps i have been working on

I know that many of you do not do swaps! I personally love swaps! I tend to use them and not just collect them, so i continue to join swaps. I know this is a total personal preference! I get swaps back i sort them and put them in their correct container this way when i am ready to do a page i don't' have to HUNT down the perfect kit that i got. Okay with that said, i have spent a good portion of the weekend working on swaps (as i am behind) The first set is an altered poker chip swap. I want to share with you all the hardest part of this swap was finding the poker chips, everyone kept telling me to go to the dollar store, i have to confess i went to 4 got discouraged and went to camp pendleton (those marines should have some huh, i paid more than a buck for them but hey i had them, now time to start) These had to be embellished a minimum of 3 times! My categories were Christmas / pointesettas; misc/ girly girly make up; princess Minnie; and misc Disney (i had originally picked stitch but wow it was really hard) i ended up with POOH BEAR and everyone loves pooh! When i get them back, my intention is to add a magnet to the back and give them away as Christmas gifts! (these were done for Lifetimemoments.com) **** Hint ... if you want to do these, the creative memories round punch is the perfect size)

My second swap of the weekend was a lake swap (for awesome swaps) I chose paper piecing not sure why .... for some reason i think that i can do these and then i start and think what am i thinking ... i came up with this sea doo ... i sure hope the girls like it!!!
Swaps three, four, and five are also for awesome. I did license plates in each group, movie night (love the new quickutz; thanks elaine); school and i took a second spot in lake.
Tune in later for more swaps. I told you all i am really behind so i am spending my weekend completing swaps!
