Suspense (non-sensical post)

6 10 2009

Eghad the suspense is killin’ me! I absolutely love the anticipation but I just want to know already!

Attitude is everything they say, which is completely true and trying hard to focus on that with a crazy form of tunnel vision. Focus, grasshopper, focus! Use that wall and use it well! :P

OTT 21 – finished!

18 04 2009

I always find it interesting how lately, as organizer, my double partners somehow find a way to craft items with the same or similar theme! lolĀ  :) Quite impressive I must say :)

mcbenno
Item sent: Pass the Piggies game in Indian-inspired colors – 2 themes

Item received: Peacock-inspired Tree of Life necklace – 1 theme

lorchick
Item sent: Flower and elegance marble magnets – 2 themes

Item received: Mermaid-inspired necklace – 1 theme

So I’m hoping to organize the next OTT 22 lol but we’ll have to see when that is….maybe beginning in May? I’d like to get the One for Me, One for You swap going. Maybe May? If that’s the case, I might have to co-org the OTT 22 lol
