Another swap that acquired more comments than anything else I've ever written or done on my blog: GNOMES! We will be making this adorable gnome (I will share the pattern with you...it is a compilation of SEVERAL die cut cartridges)
Or you can simply print this little guy on cardstock and cut him out. (But wouldn't it be more fun to have your own original pattern?)

I will also do a tutorial on how to make your very own kitschy gnome shadow box for Valentines Day!

Hi Paula,
I just found your blog here! I love love love all of these projects! I can't decide which one I like best they all are so adorable. what exactly is your vintage cowboy swap about tag swap about? It sounds like fun can I get in on it?
I'm so glad I found this wonderful creative "Palace" I am headed right now to be a follower!
Happy Holidays
Chris :)

It sounds like a lot of fun! I don't know if I can stay up all night, but I'll give it a try - especially since you have such great tutorials planned!

Oh I have that last little gnome shadowbox. I won it !! You can get those cute little gnomes on line at Bake it Pretty. I'll think about this before I commit.
well, for once, the time difference will work in my favour! Add me to your roster m'dear.
Hi Gals! Chris, Please feel free to jump in for as long as you want! That goes for all of you...no need to commit to all night if you're not "wired" nocturnally!
Nan! Seriously, my friend, WHY oh WHY do you feel you have to think about it before you "commit"? Do you mean the all nighter or the cowboy tag swap? We'll only be making two tags so those of you who do NOT possess a Cricut nor the ability to amass a great many tags, JOIN IN! I'll be posting details soon!
I'll be joining, but only because I live in a totally different time zone. For the first time in our lives, my sister (aka batgirl)and I can be conscious at the same time!!!
Pam! Sistuh! HOORAY! I am so excited you'll be here! Can Aria come or will she be back in school?
Hi Paula dear!
I will definitely pop in for new years eve! We go out to a friends house every year, but when we get home I will be sure to stop over and see whats going on. I may even craft a long with you for a bit. chances are though, after my two glasses of bailys or mudslides, I'll be dying to go to sleep!! I'm such a big partier.. just a sip of alcohol about puts me under!! lol!
have a delightful day Paula Clare!
hugs

Aw, Paula doesn't this sound like fun? Since it's pretty much written in stone that everyone comes here on New Years Eve, maybe they won't notice if I sneak away from the eating and silly board games (and more eating) for a little bit? One of my craftiest friends will be here too, maybe we can sneak away together??!
Hey Paula!
I just found that large Gnome book at an antique shop in Lancaster for just $3.00! I liked it so much, I got the Gnome's Christmas book on Amazon!
I've always preferred elves and pixies to gnomes, but I can see their appeal. : )

Paula Clare! You can count me in!!! I will share the "real deal" cowboy and cowgirl tags (my very favorite), and I will offer THE cutest cowboy/girl card for a giveaway prize. You do the pick'n, I'll do the mail'n! Count me in on a little shadowbox! And DEFINITELY count me in on your January Cowboy Tag swap! EAK! Love it! STOP ME IN MY TRACKS! I just noticed your Gnomantle! Oh my goodness Paula!!! Yes, you do have to redo your craft room in red and aqua! I'm working on my Dolly Dingle V'Day Exchange, and you are going to love it! It's very different! I love when we get each other going like this! Too much fun! E
I love your projects. I'm not a big night owl but I will participate for as long as I can.
I'd like to join in on the fun :-) What a fabulous way to start off the new year :-)

Hello BFF! I will definitely be checking in with you! I think we are going to go work at a homeless shelter first, so this will be two special things I will end the year with!
XXXXOOOO

Hi Paula,
Call me crazy but count me in!
I will try to talk Chris into staying up with me, but Baby Ava is in town, so I kind of doubt it!
Sharon
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year!
Hugs, Sharon
Aaah Paula, thanks for thinking of me! I would love to join y'all but I'm a party girl on New Year's eve, lol! For the past 15 years we have taken turns hosting a New Years Eve party with our best friends and neighbors. But I do have a suggestion IF you are interested! You can go to Aimee Asher and open a live chat room for the night where everyone can ask questions on the spot and chit chat etc. It's FREE but you would need to join the site and set up a membership which is also free. It's a very safe place too. Here's a link if you are interested and let me know if you have any questions, hugs and blessings, Nan

Hey Paula,
Where do we sign up for the Cowgirl Tag Swap?
I don't want to miss out!
I love your sticky post! It was such fun to come and read it again! I am excited to have been sent a little Whitman box that will be perfect for your shadow box craft. I'm ready! Bring on the New Year! Elizabeth
I found your blog link on Creative Breathing's website and I'd love to join in. I'll add your little picture to my sidebar on my blog, and hopefully I won't forget! What a neat idea.
Happy New Year to you!
I sure wish I was going to be home in pj's crafting along with you that night. I would love a tutorial on how you crafted the vintage trailer. I will continue to follow your blog though.
Hello girlie-girl... I have a question for you about the big shin-dig your having to ring in the new year. What time zone are you in? I don't want to arrive to early-- or to late for the festivities :-)I am in California, what time does the party start?
I'm looking forward to this fun event. Thanks!
~Cheryl
Hi ,my granddaughter & I plan to join you tonite . we are looking forward to it !

I'm here Paula, I'm here with scissors and glue stick and all of my supplies! This is such fun, and I can't thank you enough for hosting. I have already been crafting away and will post as I make. It's like a "Make and Take" only you are giving us a "Make and Keep"! Let the fun begin! E
