7 Card Swap... January 2012...

Labels: Swaps - January 30, 2012

We thought we'd have some fun with a swap, here are the ACEO's... I will update this post as the ACEO's arrive at their destinations.

What I did was I wrote everyone's names on a piece of paper, stuck them in a box... and mixed up. Then I pulled them out 1 by 1 and put each name side by side, the first person sent to the person to the right, the last person sent to the 1st person!

Details are under the pictures... Click on the user names to visit the individual Etsy shops.
