Convention swaps

I love going to convention.  All the people, give aways,  new products, classes, entertainment, making friends and of course swaps.  Swaps are probably my least favorite part of convention.  Not that I don't love swaps, imagine getting lots of new examples to show customers.  The part that I don't like is coming up with a good swap.  There are a few rules.  Like everything has to be current so we have to wait until we see the retired list.  And most important is has to be our best work.  So here is my first try. 

 Way to much work.  I like it and I might make some more for my own personal use but can you imagine embossing each piece?  Not gonna happen. 

Here's the greeting on the bottom.  It shows up much better in real life.  Now it's off to the salt mine to see what else I can think of.
