I'm so impressed with the art that has been winging its way to my door! Wow, what beautiful pages!
My job is to select pages that flow together in some way, whether color theme, or style.
Of course, I can't match them up perfectly, but I make sure that the pages look pretty together.
Its a joy to make the books up!
Its not a joy to make the labels for the packages though. Ugh. Oh well, its going ok. This will take a while, but I sure got a good start Labor Day weekend.
Not all the packages had arrived yet, but I had 50 some sets of pages, that was plenty to mix and match.
Sorry that I have not given you the names of all of the artists. If your art is here, please do leave a comment and let us know. These books are all done and packed up, so I can't flip them over to read the names at this point.
Oh, I love seeing the artwork! Thank you for more glimpses! I spied one of my pages–5th photo down, bottom left corner. I loved glittering up that faery’s bright blue tutu. It was a glitter that included some tiny stars, and I loved how it came out. Thank you thank you for doing all this work, Karla!
Oh so many wonderful things to look at…thanks for all of your hard work in bringing these together…can’t wait to see my book 🙂
those pages are amazing what a great idea for a swap….
Ive loved sorting and making the books, there are some beautiful creations!

So happy to see some of my pages. It was hard to give away some of them, but I can always make another one.
Thank you for all of your hard work. They are all beautiful!!
I spotted mine! Third row down, bottom row, second from the left! I LOVE seeing just fairies, fairies, fairies everywhere! It must have been fun to just see your beloved fairies all over your table! Thanks again for such a great swap!
Love them all!!
Oh my gosh – they are all so awesome! Such creativity!
Love all the pages. But I did not see mine. I sent it out over a week ago. Sure hope it made it. But I have hope since you said there are 40 more sets to go.
And I am the same way. I really loved some of my pages and did not want to part with them. But I am sure they are going to special fairy lovers out in blogland.

It’s me again! Oopsy, I just now saw another one of my pages! I missed it before when I was commenting. It is in the last photo and is on the bottom row, third one over.
I truly relate to what you are saying, Sharon and Debra, about having a hard time parting with your faeries! Debra, I do love how you said “but I am sure they are going to special fairy lovers out in blogland.” Sometimes the fun of creating something pretty is giving it to someone who will really appreciate it and who will receive it with a happy smile. : )

Fabulous fairies pages, I love them all. I so wish I had had the time and the supplies to take part in this, but being in France at the moment made that impossible. Your swappers will be so delighted with their fairies books.
I think all of the swappers are going to treasure these fairies!

What FUN to see all of the art sharing the same space:) It is an honor to have my tea party faery in the same book as such talented people! Thanks for the work in pulling this all together.
Love seeing all the pages…Just got home from a weekend away and see my package lying on the kitchen table, but going to wait to open it so I can build up the suspense and excitement…
Thanks again for putting a smile on so many of our faces as we get our first look at the books you spent so much effort putting together for us…
I got a lovely thank you from a fairy gal who received 1 of my pages! It is so rewarding to know my little creations made someone happy. With Karla’s swaps I KNOW I will get better than I make…I’ll try even harder next time. Uh, Karla? Are you ready to talk about the next swap? ; ). Never mind. Go back to making shipping labels…
Yours were pretty, Charlotte! There will be 8 ladies thrilled to get them.
Hmm….the next one…. Maybe Christmas angels?

Are you really considering a Christmas swap? : D
Possibly, but I need to get this one mailed out before I commit! I know it needs to be soon.
