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 Jellycat 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          The Potting Shed Forum Index -> Organised events Goto page 1, 2  Next Page 1 of 2
