I took part in two swaps this month. On the Swap Bot group Hooked on Dotees, Nancy and I traded our choice of dotees. I requested an angel, and she a kitchen witch. This is the outcome and we couldn't be happier!
Angel
Kitchen Witch
The second swap was for a Christmas themed postcard on Stitchin Fingers. Again I requested an angel and received this great postcard from Liz. The postcard I made went to Australia and hasn't arrived yet, so I can't post a picture of it until it does.
