These are I believe all the people wishing to join our April swap. I have everyones address (from the seed swap)except RedwillowRose. Can you pm it to me please RWR. I will let peeps know who they are making for very very soon. Just to remind you, I suggested the swop be posted by 25th April so we can open the last day of April. Anyone else wishing to sign up please do so. |

So has everyone got them then? If so we just have to wait for Kathy to return then we can have the big opening!!
|
||||
| Becki |
I havn't got one.
|
||||
| Kathy |
I'm back!
Friday was the last posting day so there's still time for Becki's to arrive. Is there anyone else who hasn't received one? |
||||
| Lizzie |
Mine arrived over the weekend...
|
||||
| Becki |
I'll let you know, the post hasn't come yet. | ||||
| Kathy |
There's no rush for opening, I'd rather wait till everyone has received their gift.
|
||||
| Libby |
Me too!!! |
||||
| Jojo |
Had an E.mail from Browneyes,just to let you know she's having problems with her computer and may or may not be on line, but she has received her parcel
|
||||
| Becki |
My Parcel is here. Well a parcel is here so I presume thats it
Bang on time too
|
||||
| Kathy |
Wooo Hoooo, when can we open them then?
|
||||
| Libby |
As soon as possible as mine is going up in flames as I keep using my burning eyes to see into it
|
||||
| Lizzie |
|
||||
| Kathy |
Tonight then? | ||||
| Becki |
@ Libby.
I will be free by 8pm if we are being precise
|
||||
| Kathy |
I was precise, I opened it at 8!
I got some lovely hand made greeting cards, I think I can guess who my partner was, Becki?
|
||||
| Becki |
I opened mine at 8 too
I got some lovely fingerless gloves and something I'm ashamed to admit, I'm not certain what it is, but I'm guessing at a neck warmer
I think my partner may have been Libby? (Recognised the postcode )
Good guess Kathy
|
||||
| Libby |
it twas me and its a mobious scarf (neck warmer)
I got  some slipper socks, so much better for wandering round the house, I usually do it in my socks!!
I know who sent mine cos I organised the swap Thank you so much Cookie
|
||||
| Becki |
Yea, I got it right!
Thank you Libby for organising it
|
||||
| Lizzie |
Ooh ooh, I opened mine last night too but was too far away from the computer to post! OH took a picture though...I got some lovely lavender things, a sponge bag and a round cloth (how do you knit a round cloth...?)
I have no idea who they're from, but I'm very impressed that whoever it is knows how much I love lavendar
Thank you for organising it Libby
