If you’ve ever participated in a (Craftster) swap with me, you know that I send really early. I tend to do this for a number of reasons:

• I hate deadlines looming over my head – it tends to cause me lots anxiety (grouchiness, lack of sleep, etc.) when something is unfinished and the due date is almost near. I don’t like the stress.
• You never know what’s going to happen. I always have the fear that ‘something’ will happen that will prevent me from being able to finish (like I’ll get sick and won’t be able to craft, etc.) or the project I’m working on will take far longer than expected to complete. This kind of relates to my first reason…. “anxiety”.
• I’m more creative when the swap first starts. Swaps tend to give me the creative nudge I need to sew up a storm.

Since I’ve been done for awhile, I’ve been waiting for my partner’s packages to arrive. Yesterday, my Wists package was delivered and look what was inside:

An awesome Wonder Woman poppet!!!!!! I’ve had this on my wish list for some time, but never attempted to make one (doll making just isn’t my forte) and have never been paired (before now) with anyone who made dolls. I am so thrilled – now I just need a ‘safe’ place to put Wonder Woman where Easton won’t play with her. Also included in the package was a fun Wonder Woman bag and cuffs.
