Nobody will be making Pumpkin Pie with these guys!

My swap partner was Jill - everything about my swap package was PERFECTION! From the cute zombie mailing label, to the most perfect pumpkin zombies - they are so cute!!  I love the expressions!!

The packaging was so fun....

Adorable tuck ins that will fit in perfect with my Halloween decor (I think the witches hats will end up on cards and scrapbook layouts!)

Thank you so much, Jill - they are much loved!

Zombie Royalty

Hear Ye .... Hear Ye ....
Zombie Royalty has entered my Zombie Patch in the form of this little Princess !!!!!

Isn't she ADORABLE !!!!
Thank you Stacey for this little cutie pie and for all of my fun tuck in's :-)

My love of baking and all things Pioneer Woman is no secret !!!
I usually purchase a new spatula for each holiday, and hadn't yet for Halloween. Stacey took care of that for me !!!
Stacey I LOVED everything - thank you SO much for spoiling me !!!
As you can see, Little Miss Princess has settled right down into my patch.

Thank you Val for once again organizing this amazing annual swap.

I'm sure I speak for many of us when I say, I look forward to it every year !!!

Zombie Cat

 I absolutely love this little zombie cat that Natalie made!

It even comes with two little zombie mice with their own coffin.

Everyone I have shown this little zombie cat to - just loves her!

 . . . along with a great coffee mug (with a great message)!

 . . . and some bone pens.  There were five pens, but my granddaughter

wanted one to use in school today. 

One of the best things about this year's swap for me was actually

being able to meet the person I swapped with.

We live very close to each other and decided to meet instead

of shipping our dolls.  Thank you so much Natalie! 

I love this zombie cat!!!   It just makes me smile.

 I noticed after I got home that it has a

bandage on it's tail.  We have a black cat whose tail was injured when we 

adopted him . . . and he had to have the tip of his tail removed.

Thanks again to Val for hosting his swap.  

I am looking forward to the next one.

Zombie Scarecrow

I want to thank Kerry for outdoing herself with this swap!!! I absolutely love my scarecrow zombie!! He fits in perfectly with my other scarecrows! His little rake with the skull was such a neat touch! You all with your awesome crocheting skills makes me want to learn how to crochet!!! One of these days I will have the time to learn I hope!

 I also loved all the add ins included with this adorable little zombie. I am already looking forward to making zombie cookies with those cookie cutters. I will definitely share my creations when I do!! Once again Kerry....Thank you so much for everything you sent. I love it all!

And thank you too Val for hosting this swap. I am super happy that I had the opportunity to join this group!

Yarnigras Annual Handmade Ornament Swap!!!

This year's theme is SNOWMEN!

We are doing a "5 for 5"  swap.
What this means is that you will send me 5 of the same handmade ornament.  Then you will receive a variety of 5 ornaments back.   You have plenty of time to make and mail the ornaments to me by deadline.

Once you join, I'll send you an invite so you can post on the swap blog.(optional)
You do not have to have a blog or webpage to join.
The deadline to sign up is Oct. 26th. I am limiting participants to 20 this year.

To sign up, send me an email at valpowery(at)yahoo(dot)com with your name.
This will be a USA only swap due to shipping.

The do's and don'ts: 

Please DO create something you would love to receive and be sure to package your ornaments in a nice, 

re-usable box so I can mail your new ornaments back to you in it. 

Please DO NOT send any one dimensional tags as ornaments.  If you do paper crafts, you must have layers and glitter and gorgeousness.    Tags are great and I have a few lovely ones on my own tree but they MUST be sturdy and beautiful.

Please DO take care when wrapping to make sure the ornaments are cushioned, etc.  We DO want all our ornaments to arrive in pristine condition!  

Please DO double/triple check your ornaments before shipping to me.  If your box has breakage, you will only get the number of surviving ornaments.  (meaning if 1 breaks, you'll get 4 in return...)

Please DO NOT join if you are unable to commit to making something you would enjoy receiving in return.  

Shipping: Please send in $15.00 to cover the cost of sending ornaments back to you.  This will also cover tracking.   Please include a return address label already filled out.

Ship in time for me to receive them by Thanksgiving.  That way, I can get them in time to organize, repackage and mail them out  back out by the first week of December.  

Sadly, I can't guarantee you getting an exchange box if your ornaments do not reach me in time.  (If that happens, I'll gladly return your own ornaments to you using the money you sent for shipping.)  
Shipping funds are important!  If you forget to include shipping, your ornaments can't be sent/returned until you have sent me the funds to send/return them to you.

If you finish your ornaments early, feel free to send them to me early so I can start organizing them.

If time gets away from you and you need to back out, no big deal, just drop me an email and I'll remove you from the list.  

Also, don't forget to spread the word!
