As-salaamu'alaykum wa Rahmatu Llahi wa Barakatuhu
With every interest, hobby, etc., there is always the extra little trimmings we could do with, or would love to have but don't always indulge in. You know, the knitter who would love a knitting bag, the gardener who could do with an apron, the shopper who could put a new purse to use, an avid reader who would greatly appreciate more bookmarks, and tea-drinker who ... you get the idea!
Details of swap: Send your swap partner a collection of (minimum of 3) items that reflect ONE of the hobbies/interests they have posted on their blog (Blog questions below).
- One of the items must be an accessory
- One item must be handmade. (Masha'Allah we have so many creative sisters, this shouldn't be a problem.)
note: the accessory can be the item that is handmade

Wa'alaykum as-salaam wa Rahmatu Llahi wa Barakatuhu my dear sisters,
Hafsa I hope you going to join us for this swap, insha'Allah :) It's always nice to have new sisters join in.
Ihsaaaaaaaann! So nice to hear from you :) Jazak'Allah for your comment, very much appreciated! You are absolutely right... renewing our intention regularly is so important, because it's so ease to fall into doing something for the wrong reasons/with the wrong intentions.
Wa'alaykum as-salaam
Love Farhana

That sounds like an interesting jewelry set! Do you still have it?? Did you ever use it??
