I must admit that I love a good Swap or Art Exchange. It is often the highlight of many an Affaire or workshop that I host. What girl doesn't love to share her art and creativity with others? However, sometimes its fun to share something a little more simple and easy about ourselves. Thus, Have Yourself a Smelly Little Christmas was born. A fabulous Swap where girls found the perfect bottle, decorated it all pretty (yes, there does always have to be a crafty component) and then filled it with their favorite scented lotion, perfume, spray or scrub. There were no limitations ~ sachets, soaps, bath bombs and fizzies were all accepted. . .

Of course, as always, our group took it simplicity to the highest level of gorgeosity! Take a look at what currently adorns my once empty bathroom shelves. . .
Denise's Fairy Crystals
Erin's Body Creme
Cheryl's Body Lotion
Andrea's Room Spray
Sylvia's Bath Oil
Susan's Bath Scrub
Terry's Bath Bomb & Scrub
Cynthia's Lavender Sachet
Lulu's Handmade Lavender Soap
Jessi's Car Scent & Hand Soap
Tashia's Body Lotion
Can't you imagine all the possibilities ~ favorite makeup product? favorite book? favorite magazine? Isn't it lovely to share a bit of yourself in a different way?

It's impossible to pick a favorite. What a smelly idea!!
This is why I love visiting other blogs so much, the generosity and creativity of others is so inspiring.

This kinda swap sounds so stinkin' fun! How creative, love all the different bottles everyone used.
I think a makeup one would be so so fun. If you ever do one, I'd love to be involved!

Oh Kim
I wish I could come to your "affair". I truly do. Did you have fun with LuLu? Silly question, I know you all had fun. She's just so sticking sweet. And sweet Holly? WOW. Would love to meet her one day too.
I can't wait to meet LuLu in Sept. She's planning a trip to Montreal to spend a few days with me.
This swap was right up my alley. I love cute smelly bath stuff. Your shelf looks very "happy".
