Convention Swap samples & Spooktacular offer in August.

One of the best organized swaps I participated in was the Lyssa's Convention #12 - "Now THIS is Convention Quality" It is so well-organized. It was 5 groups of 20 swappers.

We used the tables at the front of the Gathering Place

This is Lyssa. This is the 12th Convention Swap that she's organized. She knows what she's doing!

Once all 20 cards were laid out, each group took a turn picking up one of the 20 swaps in their group.

The quality was amazing! See a few of the swaps below

Even more amazing, everyone who signed up for the swap kept their commitment and all cards were available at the scheduled time. It only took 30 minutes for over 120 cards to be swapped.

Thanks, Lyssa! Your new title: I am an incredible swap organizer!

Here are some of the wonderful cards I received. I'll share more in coming days.

Thsi card was created by Anne Venci and uses the Nature's Pace stamp.

Emillie Chisholm created this beautiful card using Blooming with Kindness

The creator of this card is Lyn Schumacher and she used Field Flowers

Swaps are one my favorite reasons for attending Convention. It is a great way to gather ideas for classes for the next several months.
