I got my first creative swap goodies early this week.  It’s been ages since I got a non-work related package/snail mail.  I was so delighted.  Moreso, when I learned that it was from the Creative Swap’s host.  I was with some of my closest office pals when I opened the package.  I felt like a celebrity that moment.  They were so curious about the contents.  I still remember how amused they were when I said that I joined an online creative swap.  They exclaimed, “you still have the time?”, “oh, I think my life is boring.  I should be doing something unusual, too”, etc.

Caryn made a bracelet for me which I really, really liked.  I even wore it that day even if it didn’t match my dark brown suit.  I was feeling fashionista.  I’ve never cling any dangling pairs since I came here.  So, I’ll try the earrings this weekend.  I’m still sorting a topper to match it.  I intend to wear the necklace when we go to Desert Safari.

A humble labor of love for…

It’s been ages.

This month, I am joining the creative swap hosted by Caryn. I may not be that creative enough and though it would probably be difficult to find time, I decided to join. Why? Because (a) the previous exchanges among swap partners were so endearing (b) I’d love to revive my crafty side (c) I’m not that good but I know I’ll put my heart into all the requirements (d) the host is friendly (e) I miss receiving and sending non-work related snail mails (f) it’s FUN!
