After I sent out the super secret swap envelopes to the lucky ten, I arranged with Alison from How Does She? to swap secret envelopes with her. She sent me an envelope, and I sent her one.

I packed her envelope with super random odds & ends (the only things I can remember at the moment are papier-mache suitcases and a bag of buttons), and she sent me some seriously cute supplies – most of them are things I have never worked with before! Perfect! Check the photo at the top of the post to see what she sent me. Those wordy things are vinyl!

So, I am doing what some of you are doing – using an envelope of randomness to jumpstart my crafting! Check back with me at the end of the month to see what I came up with!

p.s. Here are some of my favorite Alison projects (all made with dollar store stuff!!)

Alison does a lot with custom-cut vinyl! Here’s a dressed-up dollar store container and her Vinyl Info
