A while ago, when I'd first got back from Kenya and was hit by a 'need to craft' bug, I decided it would be fun to take part in a crafty swap. On the blog 2 Peas there's a whole forum dedicated to swaps and I chose to join in with a 'Stick pin and toothpick flag' embellishment swap. It was organised and hosted by a lovely peanut called gus-gus.
These are the pins I made...
...and this is what I used...
The stick pin swap wanted sets of four, similar yet different. I made 6 sets...
I coated them with Glossy Accents and let them dry overnight...
They did look cute in my craft room...
Then I packaged them as directed and sent them off to gus-gus in the USA...
Well, imagine my excitement yesterday when this package arrived...
..containing 6 sets of very pretty stick pins...
I thought 'iamjen' had made pretty pins and her packaging was fab. That's woodgrain fabric on a large badge in a glassine envelope. Very cute. Love it.
Now I need to get scrapping and use some of these lovely pins on my pages :)
If you want more detail about how I made my stick pins, click here where I posted in detail on IACW.

What a really nice idea. I wonder if any more arrived. Yours were lovely bright colours. Reminded me of something you made when you were about nine! Little did we know then. Love xxx
