Rocky Mountain High!
Rosie spoiled me rotten. She drew the short stick and got me for the wristlet swap. I have so enjoyed getting to know her and hope we can one day catch up in Denver, if I ever get my lazy butt to Colorado to visit my brother.
Check out what she sent:
Isn’t that wristlet beautiful? And she made it out of recycled clothing, because, “Colorado is environmentally friendly.” I love it! The chapstick is beer flavored — from a Colorado beer. Chocolate, tea, a beer cozy — all the goodies are just awesome. As if that wasn’t enough…
A second wristlet for the Bolivian Bolsita project. WOW! And it was stuffed with very thoughtful personal hygiene items. I am just bowled over by her kindness.
She also sent me a clock! Super cool. She made it out of a box of earl grey tea. And a lovely bar of lavender soap that I’ve already enjoyed.
Thank you very much Rosie!
You other wristlet participants have just a few hours to send in your photos. The flickr album with all the details should be up later in the week — along with a list of prizes.

Wow! Terrific goodies & beautiful wristlets. So cool! And you know this clock made out of a tea box has peaked my interest big time! I need to know how that works. I love altering items! I’m off to “meet” Rosie & her blog right now.

and what a cute idea to put a bead on the handle! it’s amazing to see different versions of the “same” wristlet!

The bead on the ribbon handle is a very interesting idea….hmmmm…crafting is like jazz. You steal the good stuff and incorporate it into your own “tune.” heee hee!
