While I have a little breather, from, what I like to call our Summer Party Season, let me show you a little teenie bit of what I've been up to! I have just participated in a Birthday Treasury Swap designed by Amy Powers of Inspire Co. Wasn't it just the bestest idea!?
We purchased these Tim Holtz Configurations {this is where I bought my shadow box}, filled and decorated them according to our swap partner's taste {I hope}, and shipped them off!
I know that Amy went to a great deal of trouble to match us up with someone compatible. . .
because I gave her a little trouble . . . a result I am certain, of my usual problem, tmi. :)
I was thrilled to discover my assigned partner was somebody that I already admired! Heather from Speckled Egg . . .
You know that soldering is kind of my thing . . .
So doors came into being. Poof! Just like that!
{and the bottle and charm . . . I can't help myself!}
{The little copper nest contains pearls eggs. Of course, I made it, silly.}
and then there's that nature thing . . . I kind of think Heather and I share that . . .
I tried to personalize some of the trinkets. . . 
Heather's birthday is represented here, really it is! . . . it's just in kind of . . . almost a secret way . . . ;)
I like this quote . . . it defines a part of me . . . and I suspect a little of Heather . . . Gosh, I sure hope it does, anyway!
"She was a noticer. . . for all the shelves are lined with shells, bird feathers, dried sea grasses, pebbles, eggshells. . . They're just bits that were lying on the ground, that anyone else would step over or on, but she saw they were beautiful and brought them home.". . . The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society . . .
Thank you for the wonderful opportunity, Amy! I absolutely loved this!Thank you, Heather for playing! I have just loved every minute of it!
