Match ups sent!

Okay so I sent everyone out a match up. DO NOT SPILL THE BEANS! That means not saying who your buddy is! If you didn’t get a match email me. I did it all automatically, and drew the names out of a tin can so it’s totally random. So go get to know your buddy! Read their blogs, secret email them, collect things, go through your stash. And please post your progress on your blog. Here is a list of everyone participating:

Alison
Amber Lee
Andrea
Cara
Dawn number 1 (she has two blogs!)
Dawn number 2
Dianne
Emily
Elizabeth
Heidi number 1
Heidi number 2
Jamie

Click on the name to see their blog (if they have one). This is going to be awesome ladies!!

Blinkie anyone?

Swap_1
I just made this up, I have to figure out how to make it into a button so we can brag about our coolness. heheheh. Just kidding. Everyone knows we’re cool like that anyway. Angela hooked me up with this "Loves Me, Loves Me Not" set from Technique Tuesday (the flower petals) isn’t it neat? And the letters were punched with quickutz out of crayon colored sticker paper.

edited to add: look it’s a mini!
Miniswap
Okay I figured out how to do this. If you want a blink on your site follow these directions. I only know for sure how to do this on typepad, but I think other blog hosts must be similar. Make a list on the side bar called swaps (or add it to a list you already have). Control-click on the mini image (or on a PC right click) and choose "copy image address" Paste that into the link title with <img src =" on the front side of the link and "> on the other end of the link. Then in the link URL put this:
https://www.lifeincolorphoto.com/super-cool-crafty-swap/
That is the link to the whole swap catagory on my blog, and all the info will be in that one place.

That should do it, if you know an easier way to do it, or a tip you can put that in the comments.

To Recap

Swap sign-ups are closed. We have 20 super cool people "the elite" signed up and I’m working on match-ups. Just waiting for the last two who signed up to send me back the confirmation e-mails. It’s gonna be sick people, super awesome!

Oh my god is this game fun. Of course Brian smoked us all, but hey he plays in a real band so it was kinda no contest.

Tell your friends

Only two more days to sign up for the swap! Remember anyone can join, there is no like inner circle or anything. The elite who are already signed up tell your friends, post on your blog, let them know, if they want in it’s now or never baby. All the details are here. And I’m still waiting on the confirmation email from Dianne and Heidi (not this Heidi, this one).

Inspection-Passed!

Yes! The inspection went well. I am beyond happy about this. It lasted for about an hour and a half and I feel like they were really through, and I got to poke around the house some more which I loved.
Doorknob
Here is the inside of the living room. Those tiles are really painted bricks. I scraped at them a bit with a key to see what they were like under the orange paint. I want to move in like now! But I have to wait until the 10th when the oil tank in the basement comes out. Oh and see where their feet are? My mom has some left over pieces of soapstone from the kitchen that I am going to put down for the hearth. Isn’t my mom the cutest (she’s the one on the right, the girl on the left is Henri my agent)?

Five more days to sign up for the super cool swap (and we have some super cool people signed up) so join in the fun. Click here.

Oh and I did go to a few estate sales today, can’t wait for the match ups!
