My neighbours kindly took in a delivery yesterday, and after school I had to wrangle the stamp-covered jiffy bag from the hands of my 3 eager beavers; I was so excited to recognise the name of the sender.
Everything was out of that envelope before coats were off!
Wonderful Marg sent me a fantastic selection of scraps, some chocs, a sweet Camper magnet and the most wonderful pin cushion, so brilliantly channelling my Scrappy Swap inspriration mosaic...
Didn't I do well!
I have already thanked Marg, who is now on her holidays, (Susan, you don't have to act as special envoy!), and I am planning on making a dent in those Koalas very soon!
Earlier in the week my parcel arrived in the US of A with my partner Karen. Karen was co-host with Kat, and so I had to be on my best partner behaviour, and I am pleased to report that the typewriter frame purse went down rather well.
Big 'Thank Yous' to Kat, Karen and Marg for a fabulous swap. I have a couple of Bee Secret Santa's in the pipeline then my 2012 swapping is complete. It's been such a good year for swaps!
Phew! Now you can eat those chocolates guilt free. Enjoy! Marg is brilliant. One of the great friends I have made online.
ReplyDeleteU 2 a T! Jxo
ReplyDeleteYou and your partner are so lucky! the pincushion you got is so gorgeous! the VW looks funny! Flower power :) Enjoy your sweets!
ReplyDeleteThere is music in my head, that song is one of many favourites. I think you did extremely well in the swap!
ReplyDeleteI think I will need to put in a special order for a camper van magnet! And the pinnie is SO you! Enjoy the Caramello Koalas too!
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed all the lovely gifts and swaps you have sent and received
ReplyDeleteI am hoping the postie might bring mine today! Jan has received what I made for her. Love your package, those colours are great
ReplyDeleteWhat a fab collection of goodies, lucky girl!!
ReplyDeleteIt has been a good year for swaps. Lovely package of swaps...off to listen to some Simple Minds now ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed you managed to part with the purse! But that pin cushion seems a fair exchange :-)
ReplyDeletemmmmmmmm, caramello bears, yum and double yum! actually Koalas are not bears but when they are made of chocolate we can call them anything we like:-)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pin cushion you lucky girl!
What a great swap parcel! Watch out for Susan sneaking in in the middle of the night to lay claim to the camper magnet!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Comment number nine is, um, flattering ;o)
