I recently participated in a great swap called “Pockets.” The only requirement was to include a pocket page in the project & stuff it with goodies. I decided to make an Ephemera Bank & it took on a life of it’s own! I had fun with each of the 5 pages & could have continued, but the delivery deadline was looming.

I have learned that I fulfill all the requirements to be labeled a certified “sable” (stash acquired beyond life expectancy), so I decided to share some of the trinkets & goodies that I’ve hoarded over the years. Each of 5 pages included little things from tickets & stamps, to a tiny doll. I finished it off with border punches and wrapped it up with chocolate organza ribbon.

The very best thing for me was the overwhelmingly wonderful response from the recipient, Chrissy Bornfleth. She made every microsecond I spent on the project worth it’s weight in gold & I am truly looking forward to my next swap.
