Steph wrote:Nanananananan back at yer - Got mine as well.
You are going to have to search and see what I've got, like I did with you

ugh !!

I did wonder if some of them might have to go packet rate. I know mine was quite thick so put in an extra stamp.

Thanks for hosting Lorraine, just waiting to see what pops through the door and to see who got mine!! Hope they like it.

Yeah, and I was going to put one of your stamps back in the envi, so only put one on the outside (forgot to put extra in anyway, lol). I know what's going to pop through your door and who's got yours and yes, she will LOVE it.

Some people love the power don't they ?

I meant to say thanks for the photos you took Lorraine. You did a wonderful
job - great close ups.

I got mine too. As usual when I know its something from a swap I wait until I am sitting with no distractions and can look properly. I opened it really slowly, with Lily peering over my shoulder, and once I'd pulled it out I smiled a big wide grin.

I got Kate's and its perfect. She's included some little images, on two of them they are coloured in with another for me to do. So so chuffed with this one.

Thank you lorraine for a wonderful swap, excellent choosing and well just being you xxx

Karin, you're welcome. I thought it was perfect for you.

Teehee!! Yeah...POWER!!!!!
Thanks for photo comment, hun.

It was, totally perfect.

I can't believe having read all the posts of those who've recieved so far, that they all matched so perfectly. Its amazing and can only imagine the nightmares its caused you going through them....see that the vivid dreams!!! See if you have quiet night tonight Hope so though hun.

Def a good idea to bring to the retreat.

Maybe thats something we could all bring, each of the swaps we do so far this year. Only gonna be three really, unless the march one Lorraine, you hang onto until we all get together, saves postage.

I'm sorry that I have run out of time to go post on them all, They are all Fabulous and I will comment tomorrow.

Received mine today from Thrifty Crafter. Its lovely - many thanks.
A lovely swap Lorraine thanks for hosting.

Mine has just arrived, smashing Egypt book from Cynthia. Thank you.

No mention of who got mine
Hope it arrives today.

no mentioin of who got mine either. i hope they are not tooo disappointed.

Slap your own wrist there, yours is great, well they all are, no one could possibly be disappointed.

Got mine today from Di M and it's lovely with some gorgeous tags and ATC's and lots of lovely flowers. Thankyou Di and thankyou Lorraine for a lovely swap.

Well these were lovely, and I too think its been a great swap and I dont mind which book I get, though I spotted two that were particularly dear to my heart.

Off to go and read the individual comments and see who got what.

Glad you liked it Cath.

I've just been and looked at all these little masterpieces, all so different and all such wonderfully high standard work. This has defo been one of the best swaps, hasn't it? Thank you again Lorraine - you deserve first dibs at the choice because of the sorting out you have to do, but it must have been a difficult choice.

well I reckon its a tie betwee Karin and Kim for first place, with Sue and Di tied for second.

At least you'll be able to eliminate some that won't be going to France.

Oh my thank you so much for that. To be tying with Kim on anything makes me one happy bunny, such a talented lady she is.

Have you guessed which is flying to you yet...........not sure I could hold myself back from trying to work it out.

aaaw karin , you will make me blush !!! but thanks for the compliment

You're welcome, and you no need for blushes when its perfickly true.

Who hasn't got their's yet? Must be some of you.

Joy's been on but didn't mention it, so I'm assuming hers at least, hasn't got there.

hee hee, mine has just arrived and its lovely - I got Helens lovely quote book and its super. Thank you very much Helen, I especially love that blingy heart.

It was nice that mum was here when it came so she could have a look as well and she is looking forward to getting home and seeing hers.

Oh and yep, the magic envelope worked AGAIN.

Noooooooooooo!!!! I don't believe it.

neither could Patty! I was so gleeful, it feels so good because I spend a fortune on postage and this is like one in the back of the net for me every time I get away with it.

wish i could see what was different about the envelope so I could do others but neither mum nor I can see any obvious reason.

I belong to an entry form swap for my comps, and the ladies envelope who
sends them, invariably gets through unmarked. I have quite a few
envelopes I can reuse. BUT this month, some miserable so and so had
run a pen through the unfranked stamps.

aaah thats what the magic envelope does ?? i was intrigued ,now i know ,,good on you for getting one .

steph ,some folks are funny folks and maybe it was beneath her to try to
" get anything for free " from royal mail . id love a magic envie but then again i get my stamps free , well 2 sheets of them every christmas and normally they just about last me til the following christmas........ but not just lately somehow .

Ah, Royal Mail still give their posties stamps at Christmas then.
So they should - there's not many perks in the job, is there ?
I get through about £40 of stamps a month, obviously mainly my
comps.
