My Very First Swap...YAY!!

(ok, so this is a late post...sorry) Hi there all! Just dropping in to share with you my latest crafting adventures. It is my first altered swap with a fellow YouTube friend of mine name Lisa (Scrapin2010). She is such a nice person and I appreciate her for so many things concerning this swap. She is also a very talented lady. I hope that she likes the box. (including a few goodies)

For the swap, it was also, my first Altered Wooden Balsa Box. Anyway, I covered the box with designer cardstock, inked the edges & smudged a little paint here and there. All of the flowers were handmade, homemade.....ok, I made them all! lol. They were inked, embossed, painted, glimmered, shimmered and shaped. Whew a mouthful! 

Overall, I am pretty pleased with my Altered Balsa Box. I am definitely going to make some more but not quite sure about the swapping part. Here is the YouTube video I made of the completed balsa box.

Because of my shear excitement of this being my first swap EVER and my very first balsa box.....all youtube-crafting-swaping-etiquette....went out the door. So of course, I forgot to send a card also. This is why the video is mostly reading. Anywho...my apologies to whomever nerves I plucked by not adhereing to the etiquette. It's a process and I'm sure I will make many more mistakes along the way - so be ready to laugh or be mad. lol. Well, bye for now and continue to Be Exceedingly Blessed!!!
