Remains of the Day Class #Ephemera Swap

Treasuring my new stash of #ephemera for all of my #smashbooks #Journals #projectlife

My heart skipped a beat when I opened my mailbox to find a very special package waiting for me this afternoon.

 Finally, my package from the latest #ROD swap arrived this afternoon.  I put together 10 envelopes filled with ephemera and other fun goodies and sent it off to our host. In return she shipped me a package of 10 envelopes from different ladies bursting with trinkets. I could hardly wait to get home and dive in to my box of ephemera heaven.

Opening each package was such a lovely experience. All the ladies took a little extra care to fill their package with extra loveliness and fun bits of old papers or do-dads. Some ladies created nifty bags sewn from different calenders or old wall paper. Each package was filled with a collection of old papers, fabrics, images, buttons, cards, tags, etc...   I especially loved the alcohol ink papers, Japanese writing, and the tags. All 10 packages were different and a thrill to linger through. Such a wonderful afternoon surrounded with bits of old papers and trinkets for all the journals to come.

I am already planning which pieces will go in my next journal! T

It's a special thing to find a group of women all so kind and eager to share their passion with others. Thank you to all the ladies who participated and for our wonderful host.
