Two New Valentine's Day Brooches

I've had fun working on two new brooches for Valentine's Day. One is more cute or fun and the other more Victorian and romantic. I'm working on new backgrounds as well. I figure winter is almost over (oh, don't burst my bubble and tell me we have at least two more months of it!), so it's time to "lighten up" a bit. I'm pleased with how they've turned out and have listed them today. Hope you like them!

Romancing the Swap Charms--They're Here!

They are here--the charms made for the Romancing the Charm Swap sponsored by Trish of The Tattered Rose (check out her blog). The charms were to have a Valentine theme (which was very open to interpretation) hence the haste in getting this post up before tomorrow. Mine are not included in the picture, but, of course, you have already seen them in an earlier post about this swap. Charms were made of soda tops, a butterfly wing, beads, felt, paper, fabric, metal, wood, clay, string,...I'm sure I left something out--AMAZING! Each creator is amazing and creative with great ideas! I hope I'm not spoiling it for those who might not have received theirs yet. I have been looking forward to today for many weeks. This was a fun swap to create for, and it was equally as fun (if not more so) to actually get the charms in the mail. Many, many heartfelt thanks to those who worked hard and contributed to this. I tried to personally thank each person but some I could not get an e-mail through to--Bobbi, Kelley, and Barb, for instance. I really like the charms and will enjoy them. Many thanks again to Trish and to each person who contributed. Happy Valentine's Day to all of you!
