Swap News

Hello ladies. I am going to announce the winners of Rhonda's contest. I say "winners" because I found three who exemplified the reasons we have swaps-to practice our skills or to learn new skills and to recycle or re-purpose one thing-such as a fabric- to another thing. The shopping tote swap was so much fun and everyone was so creative that I have spent many days trying to chose a winner. If I had my way everyone would win a prize because every tote bag was a winner. Rhonda then would have been making prizes for years and had my hide to boot! So, I couldn't do that even though I wanted to. In a way we are all already winners, for we are each trying to simplify and "green" our lives, and the shopping totes help us on the way. We are also getting to know each other and strengthening our community. Since I did have to choose, I chose three ladies who went above and beyond the call, learned or practiced new skills and gave their best to their swap project. The winners are: Lightening, Liz A, and Ann (Still at home). I am proud of all the swappers and congratulate the winners. Each of the winners will receive a stitchery pattern designed by Rhonda!
