That will be so cute...This ST.Pats day will be TONS of fun for Lorna..

Last year I did this.... and this year I will too..I go into the bedroom while she is still alseep and leave her a kiss from Lucky the Leprechaun

I put a tiny shamrock sticker on her cheek

I am just really bummed with the outcome of my crafting for this swap, but you are all getting both of my sets anyway!!!

I bought some "beads" and was going to do kits for making bracelets. Yes, I did read that the shamrock bead was 1 1/2" but my brain did not register how BIG that is! I got the large beads today. They are big and honkey and plastic.

I made ornaments out of them that measure about 3" long. My 7yo consultant says they are cute but like I said, they are big and honkey and plastic.

I did order some wool felt to make necklace bags out of (to put the leprechaun's gold in when they find it). The felt is very nice. I ordered some cording to go with it. The color was supposed to be rainbow, but when it came today with the big, honkey beads, it was very bright and not the primary/secondary, etc. colors that the picture showed.

Anyway, just don't kick me out of the swaps because of this one yucky crafting moment.

Nothing is great, none of it is tiny but it is St. Pat's day related at least.
This is the St. Pat's day swap isn't it? Or am I even in the right place?

I would share pictures just so you could join me in my misery but I really don't want to scare anyone with this. Just smile when you get it and pretend you like it, k? Maybe your children will be like mine and just think it is cool that I made it.

I bet they are great. We are always our own biggest critic.

PolkaDot · 02-04-2006, 09:51 PM

It is going to be fine Tracey

We do forget that most of these swaps are for the kids. I was beating myself up over a lot of thing of late..but I know..if Lorna plays with it..then it must be OK

mom2kbeth · 02-04-2006, 11:13 PM

(((Tracey))) I'm sure the items will be fine. We won't kick you out, lol! I'm sure that the kids will appreciate them no matter what you may think of them!

TraceyH · 02-04-2006, 11:44 PM

Thanks to all of you for your hugs and kind words.

I do feel a bit better about it but don't say I didn't warn you when you get these things and just stare at them in disbelief!! I really am laughing at myself too!! Just cracking up, out loud, as I type this.

But yes, the children do see things differently than we do. I am just amazed at what my 7yo comes up with (in her crafting). Can be the most simple thing and she will play with it for hours!!

Yep made and sending with your other swap goodies I have here

I meant to send them over the weekend then our car was hit and well I kinda forgot..I am sorry about that.

mcmrymoon · 02-16-2006, 11:50 AM

no problem! can't wait to see them!

mom2kbeth · 02-25-2006, 05:26 PM

I'm running a mailin gday late with my lollipops. I got the chocolate and molds this morning (I didn't want to buy the chocolate too early and have them be sitting for too long) and I thought I woul dhave time this afternoon to make them when my ex was here ... but he only stayed a few minutes and I got absolutely nothing done

So I will make them tonight when the kids go to bed and put them in the mail Monday morning. I will ship priority though so they get there quickly
