Manager Swap: 7 Days of Christmas...Day 7 (Hailey)

Hailey brought a great ending to our Manager 7 Days of Christmas swap! I have always wanted one of these but I don't sew. What makes this such an extra special gift is that she had to come up with patterns for not just one machine but multiple machines! We have a Silhouette, a Wishblade, 4 different KNKs....among us! What a challeng this has been for her but we all LOVE our new covers! Thank you so much Hailey and thanks to all of the managers who contributed their time & effort into this fabulous swap!

Well all good things do have to come to an end sometime. Karine made us desk calendars for our 12th and final gift in the 12 Days of Christmas swap! I love the colors she chose and I'm sure with all of the detail she used on each month that this took her awhile to complete. I think it's great! Thanks Karine!

Manager Swap: 7 Days of Christmas...Day 6 (Karon)

Here's what I created for the Managers 7 Days of Christmas swap! It's a miniature first aid kit that you can put either in your purse or your car! I simply altered an Altoids tin and found the supplies to put inside. I even found mirror tiles at an online site (that fit) to put inside for those moments when you need to grab a mirror to check something. Thanks Kathy for that GREAT idea! My favorite part of this box is the die cuts I used to decorate the top of it. I put my Cuttlebug to use and embossed the bandaid to make it look more realistic! Hope everyone enjoys it!

Kathy made us suncatchers for the 11th Day of Christmas in our 12 Days of Christmas swap! They came to us in a pretty mesh bag inside these darling embossed tins. I can't decide if I want to hang mine up on my rearview mirror or attach it to my keychain so that I can always carry it with me. They are so pretty...and look like they took some time to make. Thank you Kathy!

Lisa, I think EVERYONE was super-anxious to open your BIG box in this swap! It was definitely worth the wait! She altered a clock for us...WOW! This swap has been so much fun and I sure hate for it to end. I've received so many NEAT things! Thanks so much Lisa!

Manager Swap: 7 Days of Christmas...Day 4 (Mary Jo)

Now this was a pleasant surprise! Mary Jo made us aprons for Tuesday's gift in the manager's swap. How many times have I ruined a shirt because I don't own one of these? Thanks for such a great handmade gift Mary Jo!

On the 9th Day of Christmas Char gave to me...

Char made us a really neat interactive tag album that is designed to be "re-gifted" to a good friend. I think every one of the members of the swap chuckled their way thru it. It was well put-together and very colorful. Love it Char...thanks!

Manager Swap: 7 Days of Christmas...Day 3 (Kathy)

Now if you check out the posts below you can see ALL of these that Kathy made for the manager's swap. This is the one I received. Immediately my daughter insisted it was hers...she is so attracted to pink and glittery stuff that she knew it was meant for her. Not this one sweetie, I'm keeping it for me! Thanks Kathy....I love it so much! It will be a great addition to my kitchen for my busy family!

On the 8th Day of Christmas mjhuntsman gave to me...

Mary Jo made us some nice luggage tags! These will go great on my crop bags when I take my hobby outside of the home too! My name and address are on the other side and she has laminated them to make them last! Love the colors...thanks Mary Jo!

This really has been the best swap!

We have such great swappers on ThatsScrap. Never a flaker and always the most creative ideas out there!
It was a bit stressful doing two of these types of swaps, but I am so glad I did!!

Manager Swap: 7 Days of Christmas...Day 2 (Theresa)

Theresa you really surprised all of us with this one. You asked a couple of months ago for all of our information (address, phone #, e-mail, etc) to compile a centralized group for us all to use. Little did we know you really did have a reason for this! Ever since we started swapping with you...you have had these cool business cards to include. Now we all have our own set! I didn't take photos of everyone's but we all have our own design. Thank you for the pretty holder too. I am so excited...I played with the photoshop blur tool for the first time to protect my identity on this card...and was successful! Thank you so much Theresa for such a useful gift! Love it!

Manager Swap: 7 Days of Christmas...Day 1 (Esther)

Esther had us all guessing with this very pretty wrapping and cute tags, but she was first in our first annual manager swap on the TSI forum. To start us off she gave us one of her famous interactive cards....a unique one that includes a test tube full of candy! How did you know I like Smarties Esther? Now on to the big surprise. Esther made each of the managers in our swap a perpetual calendar! I almost made these for the 2009 TSI Forum 12 Days of Christmas swap and chickened out. I still have the supplies. I realized how much work it would require and I didn't really have the time. So here it is, her version of this calendar which took her an entire month to make for all of us. Thank you Esther...we all LOVE it!
