Tuesday Trades - KimCreative

Now that I am back on track, I am going to stay there! Today's trade happened during the November Trade Frenzy!


I traded with Kim from KimCreative for this great bracelet! It was kinda funny though because the package actually got lost in the mail! I have never had this happen before and was surprised. Both Kim and I ended up filing a complaint and within a week they miraculously "found" the package and sent it on to me. So I got the package after Christmas, which was okay because the bracelet was for me!


What did I make for Kim? Well, let me tell you! I was going to do another trade with a girl, but we haven't done it yet...anyway, she wanted me to make some dread beads. I had no idea what they were or how to make them, but she told me that they are beads you put on dreadlocks. I am not even kidding you. you can get bling for your dreadlocks and I know how to make them! So I had them in the shop and Kim asked if I could make her some. Here is what I made:


Pretty cool huh? Makes me want to try having dreadlocks...well maybe one...just for fun. Then again...maybe not. What are your thoughts?

Missing Trades - Part 7: CleariqueBoutique

This is the last missing trades post! I am finally caught up! Hurrah! Yippy Skippy! I am so glad that I caught up!

This trade was wit ha girl named Shealyn and her shop CleariqueBoutique. Shealyn does all kinds of amazing things and sells them in her shop, but I really needed some of the fair clips like we gave away last year! 


So here is what I got! 5 amazing clips! I got pink, white, purple, blue with a feather, and another white one! 


I really love them and wear them often because they make me happy! Shealyn asked me to make a bracelet especially for her! It was a blast to make and turned out pretty cute.


Well, that is all for now! Done with Missing Trade posts, but I still have more trade stories to share. Don't worry about that!

Missing Trades - Part 6: eruckman

Last autumn I did a really fun trade with Erica from eruckman. Erica does amazing hand stamped jewelry as you may remember from this post.


This time I got a really cool Christmas present for my Grandpa! It is just adorable and so him.


It is a perfect gift for him because he spends every summer in his camper. He just loves spending time in the wild by the pond and this key chain fob just reminded me of him so much!

Erica chose two sets of earrings from me. One for herself, and one for a friend for Christmas!



And that is not all! I still have one more missing trade's post to write before I am officially caught up!
