Multi-coloured Swop Shop

Been a while since I wrote a post here so sorry for that. Not been up to doing much crafting recently but am hoping to get back into it soon - and I've got a whole new stash of lovely goodies to give me some inspiration.

Hubby isn't usually to happy when I get new supplies bless him, although he does seem to have his fair share of new art supplies!!! However this time I think he's ok as I have explained that I've not actually bought them - I've swopped them!!!

I found a great swop group on FB and its full of lovely ladies who swop stuff!! I've got so much bits and bobs of stuff - mainly jewellery stuff that I no longer have a use for so its been great to be able to swop it for stuff I can use.
Bearing in mind that I live on a small island and its hard to get a lot of craft related stuff here, this way of doing things is like Christmas day every time the postman turns up.

Over the past week I have swopped lots of jewellery findings, embroidery threads, canvas panels and other bits and bobs for yarn, card making stuff and wool fleece. Really chuffed with my swops and am ready to get crafting again - if I can find the energy and shake off the depression again.

Anyway, if you fancy having a clear out and swopping some of your unwanted craft items then check out the group here
