Spring Supply Swap ~ What I Sent

I previously shared that I joined in on my first swap party when I signed up for the Spring Supply Swap at The Shabby Chic Cottage, and I showed what my partner for the swap, Leslie at Goodbye House, Hello Home sent me.

Leslie is an interior decorator like me.  The great thing about the swap {besides getting supplies} is that you get to meet other bloggers and learn more about them.  I was able to learn what Leslie liked and her hobbies to fill up the box I put together for her with supplies.  

I wanted to share with you the box I put together for Leslie.  I found out that Leslie received her package so I’m not ruining the surprise.  I wanted to put everything in a nice box and decided to make one using this envelope box.

I couldn’t use it like this, so I painted it with Heirloom White paint first.

Leslie mentioned that she liked birds, so I found a scrapbook paper I had recently bought and put that on the lid.  A couple of images I had printed out were put on the two short sides.  I used Mod Podge to put them on the box. 

Then the fun of filling it came!   A chair pincushion and a couple of tags.

A lovely image of a bird with some writing {looks like a journal entry}; great used for one of her own decoupage projects or even to frame, since it is on photo paper.

Leslie also mentioned that she liked toile, so in went a bit of toile fabric and a pretty floral fabric. 

There are also a bunch of little things underneath these larger supplies; a couple of Altoid tins, some little bits of trim, label holders, paper embellishments, etc.  I hope she likes everything!

Thank you for putting this together, Gina!  This was fun and I would definitely be up for another swap!
