i'm good with either althought i think nighttime/celestial is rather fitting for the time of year. i can't wait.

if we decide quick i may just be able to get my items to you tuesday

I think nighttime/celestial is my vote for this one also!!!

Can someone give some examples of what they may have sent for other tiny things swaps in the past. I have never done one and need some ideas. Have lots floating around, but want to make sure I am on the right track.
Thanks.

I like the idea for night/celestial!

I am for sure in on the train and doll house one.. Lorna loves BOTH

But after the first of the year of course

LOL

For the past tiny things swaps, we have sent tiny items that we have given to our children saying that the fairies left them. For winter,/magical, we had tiny present ornaments, tiny candy canes, clear glass marble snowballs, tiny etched glass with snowflakes, little birds ... for fall/magical we had magical tiny apples (all sparkly), tiny wooden bottles of eye of newt and bat wings (Or something like that!), little fimo pumpkins, beans, marigold seed pods, milkweed seed pods ...

Okay, celestial/night time it is! I'll change the heading of the thread

bumping back up into the fray

I made little dream catchers. I should finish them tonight.

That sounds so cool! Duncan will LOVE that! I think I'm going to make shooting stars (per Selena's suggestion

) I bought some gold fimo today and I'm gonna stick floss in the tail of them. I'll prolly poke a hole through, too, so you guys can string them up if you like.

Here are a few of the dreamcatchers

They are only 1 1/2 - 2 inches in diameter. I think they came out cute!

For the second set of things that I need to send, I have a dark blue fabric with gold stars all over it and want to do something with that. Any ideas? What can I make that would be good for tiny things swap with the fabric?

little bags of stardust?

Love the dreamcatchers!!! I have some celestial fabric and am making little bags and putting moonstones in them with a tiny note about the magic that lies within them. How to keep it brief on a tiny piece of paper is beyond me right now but I will figure it out!!

Little bags of stardust is an awesome idea! That's what I will do- thanks

PolkaDot · 12-29-2005, 02:52 PM

I am making little cresent moons

Love your Dream Catchers Bonnie

All these ideas are so awesome!!

Here are the stardust bags, I just finished them. Well, the kids just finished them. I made the bags, Holden mixed the stardust (which is now everywhere all over the house!) and Kenna used her new measuring spoons to fill the bags

And for those of us in the wizard or the castle swap as well, after the stardust is gone, I thought the bags would be perfect for the bendy wizards to carry things in
