The Queen's Pocket

Look what the Cranky Queen got in the mail today!  A whimsy pocket "fit for a queen!"  That's right...my blog friend, Jeanie, from All My Art http://jeanieatc.blogspot.com was my swap partner in the Whimsy Pocket Swap hosted by "Tee" over at The Altered Paper blog http://creationsbytee.blogspot.com. Don't you just love the beads that spell out cranky! What a personal touch...The Queen in no longer cranky!

Jeanie replaced the queen of hearts with my very own photo...too cute!

...and she made me a personalized key chain & provided me with some future tags for crafting...

 


This is the pocket that I made for Jeanie using a peacock theme.  I was in such a rush to mail her pocket out, that I forgot to take my own pictures...so Jeanie was nice enough to email me a couple.  Sorry for the glare...This was a fun swap...

Quick Tutorial on Making A Whimsy Pocket:
1.  Cut a toilet paper roll 3 inches long.
2.  Glue bottom & use cloths pins to clamp until dry.
3.  Cover with decorative paper & adhere with glue.
4.  Embellish!
5.  Fill with Fun Craft Items! Enjoy! Share!

...and these were the goodies in her whimsy pocket that I mailed to her...
