SBS Tumblin Buddy Exchange

Yay! It's Friday!

Welcome to the Simply B Stamps first ever Tumblin Buddy Exchange! I love my SBS stamps and digis, and love the Simply B Stamps Fan page on Facebook! There are lots of great people and Betty even shares an ocassional sneak with us.

One of the fun things I like to do is participate in swaps, so when Betty started the Tumblin Buddy Exchange, I quickly signed up. I love making new friends in the crafting community and sharing our love for SBS and paper crafts!

You should have come from Suzi's blog. If not, then make sure you start over at Betty's blog so you don't miss a thing.

My buddy was Lisa, from www.distinctiveLMNts.blogspot.com, and here is what I received from her.

This is the card that Lisa made for me using the Tumblin Buddy digi that Betty designed especially for the exchange.
Here is what was in the box.
This is all the goodies that Lisa fit into the tumbler.

I love the purple tumbler, the candies, and all the crafty goodies she sent me. Our card styles differ a bit so some of what she sent me is different from stuff that I already have. I can't wait to step outside my comfort zone and get crafty with these goodies!

Happy Wednesday Crafty Friends!

You know what Wednesday means? That the work week is half over and I can see Saturday!

It also means that it's my turn to share over at the Timeless Twine blog!

While my kids and I were at my parents on vacation last week, my Mom, my Sister-in-Law and I got crafty with paper, stamps and twine! I got quite a few cards made for upcoming posts and blog hops. I love crafting with them and it was nice to be on vacation and play all day (and night). I also learned how to "broom crochet", and I made a few bracelet cuffs that I will share in another post.

Here is my card that I am sharing over at Timeless Twine. You can see all the details here.


Enjoy the rest of your week and Thanks for stopping by!
