Birdsong Two: my swaps

Oh, the swaps are always so much fun!  In previous posts I showed you what I made, and here's what I received:
Here are the letters I received in the "Sing" Banner swap, which I hosted.  I haven't assembled it yet, but when I do I will clip it to ribbon with tiny paper clips!
The "S" was done by Carol Ward -- I love the pearls and the background that reminds me of Karla's kitchen ceiling!
You probably remember that I made the "I".
The "N" was by Lynn Conley, one of the Iowa girls.  That letter is so pretty, and I love the lace wing.
Tami did "G" -- love the vintage blooms, buttons, and the green of the ribbon!
 And here we all are, holding our letters: Carol, me, Lyn, and Tami.
 Here are the other swap groups...
 holding up their letters!

Next: the matchbox swap.  We were randomly paired with someone, and my partner turned out to be Carol Ward again!  She did a beautiful box -- just gorgeous colors and I love the combination of pink and green and all the sparkle!
She filled it with beautiful goodies, and different ones than I usually get so it was a real treat!
There was copper wire on a thimble, and a beautiful framed pendants, and all the pretty embellishments!
This little box is full of tiny colored pencils -- it is so darn cute!
I think my favorite piece was this beautiful carved button on a pendant (swoon!)
Here is the wonderful necklace I received in the charm swap!  I just adore all the varied charms each gal contributed!
I was thinking that I might separate the necklace out at some point; I would like to put all the square charms on one necklace, and then made a second necklace out of the others.  If I do -- I will show you when they're done.  For now I just love to look at it and remember all the fun!

Beautiful goodies, what fun. Guess I would have been surprised if they weren't beautiful and you took wonderful, beautiful things with you. Looks like you are having fun in the pictures. Make it a beautiful day :).
Absolutely beautiful and you are so lucky that you can get in on all that great birdsong stuff with Karla. The letters for the banner are fabulous! I love banners!
