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!

On the 7th Day of Christmas agmommy (ME!!!) gave to me...



It's finally MY turn! Here is my 12 Days of Christmas swap for the TSI forum! It's an altered altoids tin with mints and marble magnets! So fun to make and alter! I loved the paper I found to do this project. I enjoyed making the magnets, which were my original gift idea. I just didn't know how to present them to the recipients in a fun way. I hope everyone likes what I chose!

Here's a neat idea from Micki that we all could use! She made a "Dates to Remember" book so that we could put special dates of our loved ones down. I am bad about remembering stuff like this so it will be very nice to have. I think I'll write in pencil so I can update it and keep this around for many years! Thanks Micki!

Ohhh I wonder what it could be? It's a magnetic calendar for the refrigerator! One page to use each month, hand decorated/stamped by Chris. These will be a nice addition to my scrapbook for the year 2011 too. It's always neat to add these in! Thanks Chris!

A fun set of desk supplies that will come in very handy! I love the colors Diana and was super-thrilled to see that my pen actually writes in purple! Thanks for the gift!
