Visited the GGofC cache for some handcrafted swapping. I left my handcrafted geocache magnet and took one of the cute hat pins made by a Brownie troop. I love the addition of the little laminated tag. Quite a nice memento of my find.

Found rsgadjetman’s signature item today on the KBT trail. It’s a mini red clothespin.
My new found geoswag material is Shrink Plastic also known by the product name “Shrinky Dinks”. Can’t remember how I stumbled upon this stuff. Pretty sure I saw something on the web. It was 50% off coupon week at Michaels so I picked up a pack of clear Shrinky Dinks and experimented. Like it so much I decided I’d try the inkjet version of Shrinky Dinks but didn’t have a colour inkjet printer. I’d been meaning to buy one and prices are good so I purchased a Canon Pixma printer for $80. Here are some samples of what I made with the inkjet plastic and the clear plastic:
Clear shrink plastic. I used Sharpie pens to trace this snowman from a rubberstamp catalogue.
Inkjet shrinky dinks plastic. I made a couple of souvenir geoswag pieces for 2 of our caches – one four our dog cache and one for our cache hanging in an evergreen tree.
My other recent project – more marble magnets. GEO car decal graphic:

My latest exciting handcrafted geoswag discovery – a blue dog crocheted finger puppet by Kayakers2. This is my 3rd crocheted finger puppet geoswag find. =) :
Found this nice geoswag bracelet today. I like how Super Doc and Elystic Ball tagged the bracelet with a bright yellow label.
