Sweet and Sinister Swap



When I went to get the mail, I found this huge box for me from Carla, my swap partner for the Sweet and Sinister Swap, hosted by Kari of Artsy Mama. My partner Carla loves scrapbooking and the presentation of her package whispers the creativity that she expressed in every package wrapped up inside this wonderful treasure chest.

Ghosts, and pumpkins, and sweet candy suprises.

I used all of these beautiful tags, that Carla called Karen's tags, as Halloween garland on my baker's rack.

You have been spoiled Karen! Carla has made sooo much lovelies for you and even the packages are great, but I have to say I like it all! I was in Kari's swap too and I received a great package too on Saturday. Here the celebration of Halloween is just coming up, so there is not that much for sale. This swap means huge inspiration me. Btw does Carla have a blog where we can see the goodies you have sent her, or do you blog about that some other time? Have a great week and enjoy your Halloween decoration!

Wow, Karen. All of the things your received are spectacular. And, I love the way you decorated your rack with them.

I do believe the framed witch is my favorite.

Hi Karen
What a fabulous package of goodies you received in the swap. Carla certainly outdid herself and it looks just perfect arranged on your baker's rack.
I am sure you will get a lot of enjoyment out of it.
Hugs, Rhondi
