1%20031 last chance to swap
Today is the last day to sign up for our travel themed craft swap! This is such a fun opportunity to share your creative talents with another crafty free people girl, and all of the blog readers as well. Check out details here and sign up here.
I was walking home from work last week and spotted this amazing trunk in my neighbor’s garbage. It’s made of metal and super heavy, but I dragged it home. All the straps are leather and its marked with all these old labels from its travels. I think I might use it as inspiration for the swap! How perfectly strange is that?

    Hey Liana,
    It was in the garbage! You scared me, I thought I typed garage. Yeah, it was definitely trash.

    Garage… garbage. Whoops! Sorry, I blame my reading skills on the fact that it is a Monday. I figured you weren’t a thief! Great find!

    For whatever reason when I entered your blog, the last entry was the 26th of April so I put in to join the swap. When I returned to the blog it then pulled up yesterdays and notified us that the 30th was the deadline. Sorry! Just count me in for the next one and I will do better abt. keeping up with the entries!

    Hey Anonymous. I’m not going to use the actual case for the swap. It really really heavy and would cost a fortune to ship. I was thinking of maybe using all the cool labels as inspiration. Judging by the labels, the case travelled on lots of boats, so maybe something inspired by old cruise ships. I don’t know really…
