Paying it forward

I have started out the New Year with a "paying it forward" swap.  I'm making 5 handmade gifts, and in turn, 5 of my friends have signed on to swap gifts.  I think it's a great idea for promoting your business, and at the same time promoting your friends' business too!  I'll post pictures as I complete them.  The first one I'm working on is from Japanese fabric in shades of orange, purple and red.  It's going to be colorful, if nothing else!  Now, I need to decide what the other four are going to be!
