Trick & Treat Halloween Bag Swap

Kate I don't expect anything - it's just bad luck.
Perhaps they think 'craft items' on the packet is a double
bluff and it contains something precious (well, they are precious to me)

Looking forward to seeing these, I had loads of things I could have put in a nasty bag LOL

Woohoooooo! I got mine!

Two super Hallowe'en baggies filled with goodies!

In my Treat bag, I got a decoupaged witch, some papers, a lollipop and some ribbons

In my Trick bag, I got a baggie of spiders, some eyeballs and a wee tub of slime!!!

Thank you to whoever made these - I couldn't see any names on them.

I'll get piccies up as soon as I can!

Thank you to Kate for hosting this one. It's been fun!!!

Aha, found your trick girls, show and tell is here.
Steph, I think you should start listing things you send out and get proof of postage which I know doesn't cover insurance wise, but they really should be looking into why so many things are going missing. It could be a machine fault, (I've had the odd snag with brads in the post) or they could need to review their staffing, if no one says anything they won't know.
It is the pits tho when you've made all that effort and it goes missing. Your bags look great.

gosh, a bag of spiders.... I knew there was a good reason why i didnt join this!!

Trouble is, because of my disabilities, Den takes the post in the morning before he goes to work
and the PO side to our newsagent isn't open so he can only put it in the bag/postbox. It's
really difficult for me to go myself and get a COP. You are right, I should report it, but the
contents are valueless in financial terms although they mean a lot to me after the work put
into them.

Kate did ask us to say if there were any 'creepy' contents so she would
know not to send them to someone like you so she would have made sure
you didn't get any nasties.

Have just looked at all the piccies and they all look super.

That was more for Maria's sake, but as she didn't join I wasn't too worried lol

The bag of spiders Maria were confetti shapes, nothing too scary

Got mine, loved em, not eaten the goodies yet though I am going to go down and enjoy with a drinkie when finished on here. Brilliant swap and thanks for hosting it hunny, brill job. xx

Kate - thanks so much for my Halloween bag that came this afternoon. It was so sweet of
you and much appreciated.

It's ok Steph, I did use it to cunningly send your monthly ATC as well I couldn't leave you out hun xxx

Kate, I have only just noticed when tidying up my return envelope that the postage came to a lot more than the stamp I sent you. I did not realise how heavy the return items could be, so will send you some stamps to cover the extra, on Monday

Thanks so much for hosting this fun swap

Misty - do not worry about it! I'm not, I'm just happy you all got your bags and you enjoyed the swap! xxx

Bobs - BRILLIANT treat bag, though I think it was a bit of a trick one as well as I opened it and halloween confetti went flying everywhere I has greedily picked it all up and put it away for use at a later date!
But also there were halloween peel offs, some orange & black bag of embellies & a brill ghosty jewel sticky thing. Loved it!

I too noticed the postage was less than I sent. Sorry hun.
