Hi Sarah Hall! I'm so happy you received your altered file folder pocket and enjoyed it! I had fun making it for you! I didn't see your pictures posted yet, but I had some trouble getting mine to take tonight too! Enjoy your pocket and I hope you find it worthy for something special! ((hugs)) April

I received the Most Beautiful File Folder I have ever laid my eyes on from Nancy Garteman today!
.jpg?v 84440911)
She did such an Amazing Job on this Folder... that I will cherish it forever!!! 
.jpg?v 44233906)
I would have never thought of covering a folder with fabric before. But it also looks like she
made the folder out of old window shades. I'm not positive but that is what it looks like to me.

And then After being totally WOWED by the outside...it was just stuffed full of all sorts of
Beautiful Ephemera and a Gorgeous Hankey!! 
Thank You So Much Nancy Jo...I am just astounded by the Wonderful job you did. You truly have
blessed Me!!! And I am sure made other envious of me. LOL 
Love and Hugs,
Peggy

Hi Peggy, so glad you liked the folder. Its made out of wallpaper. When I see a pretty roll at the thrift store I buy it and use it for lots of things. Like wrapping paper.
Thank you Sara for your nice comment.

I don't know what happened, but I thought I had posted photos of the absolutely beautiful file folder and sweet little presents that April made me. I don't see it now, so I am reposting. :)

Will this swap be recurring? I think it would be fun to do some more of these and would love to participate if that is the plan. :)

I'm open to suggestions about how frequently you all would like to participate. I personally love these altered file folders and love finding new uses for them, organization, recipes, receipts, scrapbooking pockets, gift pouch - so I'm in! Sara Knight also had a lovely idea about doing another swap in January with the theme of hopes, dreams and inspiration for 2017 which I adore that idea and have it down for January. What about doing one for November with the them: Grateful Heart -or- Count Your Blessings -or- something similar? Let me now what you think and if you'd like to try another one and I'll set one up!!

April, I am going to kick myself for not entering this one, but things came up. A death, illness so I didn't think I could do it. So I didn't want to enter then not fulfill it. But I hope you will do more...PLEASE!!!!

Hi Marlee, I'm so very sorry to hear you've had a death and an illness in the family... you're in my heart, thoughts and prayers. And, yes, seems as though we'll be doing another one in the near future! Would love to have you join! Please take care of you... wish I was closer to bring over dinner and chat over tea with you... thinking of you! ~ April

The January theme would be perfect for a new and fresh beginning! I also love the idea of gratefulness for November. there are so much beauty and joy around, that we often take for granted... It is a great idea! -^-^-
