Vintage Kitchen Swap

I finished collecting and making the items for the Vintage Kitchen Swap. This one has been kind of fun. I made the apron, the book cover---sew easy and turned out sooo cute too---i embroidered a little strawberry on the front, the strawberries, and the mini feedsack keeper. I threw in the cookie cookbook, the little strawberry jar, the salt water taffy, and the soap with an apron from an earlier trade.





Is that allowed? Can i re-gift a trade?! I have 14 other aprons and this one went right along and i couldn't resist. I really like this one....they were all cute look at an earlier post about that. I only have 3 bathrooms though...I bought a new jar of soap for it to be wrapped on. Funny.

I can't wait to get mine in the mail. Let me tell you though that the mailing was kind of expensive. It was over $8.00 to send that thing! Can't believe. when did that happen?! It really wasn't even very heavy.

I finished up all the other mini feedsack bags. I do have to say they are soooo cute. they are all in my etsy shop.....i might have to "buy" one for myself though. Keep some for give-aways or something later too.

This week i have two goals. I am going to go ahead and share them with you:

1st) get on Girl Scout Day Camp!!!!! i am the leader this year ----i signed up 2 days before training ,,,,waiting, waiting for someone else...alas--it is me! I need to get all the helpers signed up and figure out their paymen. We are doing a circus theme...so we'll have a magician, animal balloon clown, juggler, puppets, and then on the last day we are going to have a sort of carnival. There will be booths for fishing, face painting,popcorn, cotton candy...etc. FUN HUH?! So i need to get a little bit going and figured out.


2nd) Get on the excercise thing. i started the year off good, had a little competition, and then that fell through...so here we are-----in APRIL!!. So this is what i am planning. This is the year of my AGE!!! (last year it was the year of ME---i really to need talk about that, it was a good one). So ok, the year of my age.......here how it goes:

How old are you? I am 35------so i will be doing 35 crunches, 35 reverse crunches, 35 lunges, 35 reverese lunges (i had spelled out lunches first---good one) and 35 min. of excercise for 5 days out of the week. Quit your fussing! really is that bad?! I am printing out a little paper to keep track. (i do much better with it that way--the guilt keeps me going!)

If you are an over acheiver you could of course add more age related items....35 sit ups, 35 squats....etc I am trying to keep it simple for me. Simple is better!! The number thing is a given----who can forget that (who wants too?! ;) and then i have 5 things to do, 5 times a week. Make sense? ( no---if you are 40 you cannot do 0 things, 0 times a week!!!! this is a stable number)

If there is anyone out there that would like to jump in with me you may. let me know.....maybe i'll have a special section on here for us aged year girls or something.

Anyone?! Bueller? Bueller?
