Hi Lesley :) I am so glad the tin made it to you safely. I hope it doesn't smell like glue ? It gave me fits to make, LOL I tried my best to get rid of that aroma ;) E 6000 would not work, so I had to pull out the Big Gun, Goop, it never fails me :) I played with that tin, opening it & shutting it at least 50 times, to make sure it would open easily & not fall apart LOL. I will post when yours arrives ;)
KEEP A SMILE IN YOUR HEART... |

Nancy, thank you so much for the sweet sewing kit in the altered
altoid tin. What a neat idea, I'll be carrying it in my purse.
So pretty how you put the pink and purple trim on the front with
the barn embellishment. What a unique hand sewn bag too! I adore
the sweet hankerchief that was tucked in the envelope also.
Thanks Nini for hosting this fun swap!

Linda, thank you so much for the really cute altoid tin. I smiled so much when I opened it and saw the autumn setting. I put it up on my counter in my family room so all who come over can enjoy and appreciate all the work you did on it. I put it right next to my big yellow-orange pumpking.
Thanks for the extras, too.
Hugs,
Nancy
Make everyday a celebration of the heart. |

You're welcome Nancy. I have a box of buttons and some vintage scatter
pins missing the backs and the owl looked like a perfect size to
perch in that tin. Love the inspiration this exchange gave me.
Loved the pics of Lesley's tin and Autumn setting.

Anne,
I love my wonderful tin! Thank you so much. It was so precious and I loved all the fall goodies in it. Also, the candy was delish! I am a pig---it is already gone!!! I love chocolate, toffee, and almonds, so you chose the right one. Your fall card was so sweet, too. Please forgive me for not writing sooner (I have had it a couple of days), but my MIL has been here for several weeks and I was getting her ready to fly back home. Again, thank you so much.
Hugs,
Portia
Wishing for the country life! |

I have never uploaded a picture before so I hope this works. This is the Peanut and gang tin I received from Nini along with a treasure trove of candy, cupcake papers, a It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown book and decorating sugars. The tin has all of the Peanut characters collaged in Halloween costumes. It was a really neat surprise to come home to. (I had been away for 10 days.) I'll have to get busy baking cupcakes. Thank-you very much Nini- this was a fun project!

Loved Maddie's tin, so clever making it look like a book on the
outside and then the rich gold Autumn look inside.
Becky, the tin you got from Nini is so adorable. Love those
cute little Charlie Brown character's dressed up for Halloween
and looks like she didn't forget the treats either! I've enjoyed
seeing and hearing about everyone's creativity making these tins.
Can't wait to get started on my Christmas one.

Oh! SO glad you got it and liked everything, Becky! :)
Please try to post pics of the tins you've received so everyone can enjoy them - AND to help inspire others to join the next swap!
'Just want to show you girls the outside of the tin, too, so that others who might be interested in joining the Christmas tin swap will have a few more ideas:
This is the top outside:
And this is the bottom outside:
I used a very thin ribbon to edge the top edge and a wider ribbon to cover the bottom edge. You don't have to use ribbon, though - you can ink it, paint it, paper it, use lace, or even leave it in its original condition - whatever you like!
I don't know about all of you, but I always seem to start with an idea in mind, but it always seems to take on a life of its own! This wasn't what I had planned at all, but when I found some cards with the Peanuts on it, I just couldn't resist!
I'm with you, Linda - I am really enjoying seeing everyone's creations! Such fun! I hope we'll have even more join us for the Christmas one! :)
Hugs -
