Have any May Day swappers received their packages yet? Here's what I made (my swapee has already received it, so I won't be spoiling any surprises).
I made a "daisy chain" garland. I used to love making real daisy chains when I was a kid, and it just felt very "spring" to me to make a garland out of daisies.
I used felt for the daisies and some green ribbon I bought recently from Martha Stewart's craft line.
Here's the card I made to send with it. I used origami paper and made a little bird collage, similar in style to the bird brooches I have in my Etsy shop right now. Then I drew branches so he'd have a little perch. I used the washi tape (also from Martha Stewart) to decorate the package.
I haven't received my package from my swapper yet, but I did get a totally awesome surprise package from
Dawn as a "thank you" for co-hosting the swap.
Look at all these goodies! Dawn said that most of the stuff is local to her (Indianapolis), which I love too.
Dawn is going to do a big wrap-up post with photos of everyone's gifts, and I can't wait to see!
Hope everyone has an excellent weekend! xo, Mary
I love that daisy chain so much! I used to make those when I was little too.

That is such a pretty garland! It definitely brings back good memories of making daisy chains on the school field when I was young!
