From Coast to Coast

The beach came to us via a thoughtful, fun package from the Sheldons in California. Oh, if only you could have heard all the squealing and enthusiastic admiring of the numerous, amazing shells, beach glass, and a whole sand dollar!

We managed to coax one happy face to look up for just a moment as both children were completely captivated by the "hatching" of sea creatures. Many thanks to the kind Sheldon family for sending their sunshine (it was finally a mild day in New England!), natural treasures, and other sea-themed treats!

A glimpse of some of the things that we sent across the country: appliqued bags for each child and keychains made from polymer clay.

From a late winter's walk: a variety of pine cones and needles which we used to impress discs of polymer clay.

We read that the youngest Sheldon likes to play dress-up and hope that these masks will lend themselves to some exciting adventures. Meg and Mag, thank you very much for organizing this swap! We have enjoyed meeting a wonderful family and send our warmest wishes to all of the families in this swap. Happy Spring!
