Friendship Swap


My blog buddy, Elizabeth over at Creative Breathing has come up with another fun idea for a swap. She has asked her friends to create a papercrafted triangle, decorated to represent their blog in a one-on-one swap. I was honored to be on E's list of friends.
Following Elizabeth's lead, I have asked a few buddies to swap triangles with me so that I may create a friendship garland for my craft room. So far, I am swapping with:
Elizabeth...Creative Breathing
Sandy........521 Lake Street
Shirley......Zetta's Aprons
Tammy.....Tammy's In Love
Lynn.......Life on the Wienee Ranch  

I have made a few triangle banners before and given them away in swaps.


This JINGLE banner and...


This SUMMER banner and...


This SPOOKY banner. (Sorry about picture quality. I'm not good at photographing these.)

As I am planning my triangles I know there will be gingham, rick-rack, buttons and of course aprons. Now to get it all onto a 8"x9" triangle.
If you love this idea, I hope you will swap friendship triangles with your blog buddies and link up on Creative Breathing's post. It will be great fun to see all of these creations.  And if you would like to swap with me, please just ask. I would love to swap with you. (I will have a limit as to how many I will make but I'm not sure what that is yet.)

Linda, Your banners are absolutely wonderful! These are my favorite types. I have to laugh at the McLinky labels, they say Friend Hip Swap. Now come on! We aren't that old! Too funny! Have a lovely weekend! Elizabeth

You know what's so funny? When Elizabeth first asked me (in my surgery fog) I thought to my self, "A triangle? Wouldn't that look kind of weird?" I mentally had the triangle upside down like a pyramid instead of a banner pennant! Hee-hee!
