Here are some of the results in from the latest Queen Bee 5 swap. I created brooches made from yo-yos and above is Patty's zipper rose brooch, very creatively presented on a paint chip (love it!) I have a huge collection of old zippers- don't ask me why, I just like them - and Patty's rose has me inspired to maybe try some floral arranging (with teeth!). 
Linda did some felting. I love this flower, layered on wooly, tweedy fabric. Because she knows my favorite colors (anything in brown hues), this flower will look wonderful on EVERYTHING in my wardrobe!
We also swapped charms/ danglies at the same time.
Patty out-did herself with two offerings, both again creatively presented in clever packaging.
The bird nest charm is attached to a blue paint chip rubber stamped with birds.
The altered game piece came attached to a mini repro BINGO card.
The presentation is so great, I hate to detach them from their cards!
Linda's dangle is a wonderful piece of jewelry.
The bee charm is my favorite part!
It will add a touch of class to anything I hang it from.
Thank you girls!

The zipper rose pin is terrific! What one person sees as junk, another uses to create beauty. All of the charms are darling, too! Lucky you.
