INCHIE SWAP...with a difference????

I had a lovely card from Cath today and the large stamp is unfranked..yippee..got them again.

and i am a tight wad at times..i am saving the paper from Teabags pressie and the stamps of the cards..i did get 1 super stamp from Maria and 1 from someone else on forum..a jigsaw postage stamp.i was going to ask people to save any of the jigsaw stamps for me.

I don't mind admitting I get a huge kick out of reusing an unfranked stamp - just one up to the GPO for neglecting their duties! Sometimes, on swaps, the envelope and same stamp go back and forth more than twice, too! What a tightwad, eh?

I've had the same envi from Maria for swaps 4 times, lol. I laughed even louder when I got it again the other day.

I cant beleive that one either.... I mean its even still got your postcode on it...I couldnt belvie my luck when it turned up unfranked AGAIN. I mean as it seems to be a free postage service between you and I with that envelope I wouldnt risk sending it anywhere else!

Have posted mine today lorraine first class so hopefully they'll get there in time

Cath and Jo, yours are both here.

Soooooooooooo totally different and both really gorgeous.

Have to say, Jo. Yours are well different - luv 'em.


Cheers, Dawn.

Glad you liked them,a picture I have inspired me. Just hope everyone else likes them. They are very me!lol.

I haven't a clue what I am going to do with the Twinchies tho' they won't fit on a LO.

Well, you better get thinking then 'cause the swap doesn't finish until everybody posts their finished piece. Anyway, they will fit on a LO, hun. You don't have to have the two words in full. A block would look quite nice.

Hmm well as I am back at work on MOnday and back to studying, you may be waiting.......

No we won't Jo - you jolly well get those into something stunning and post it on for all to see!!

Mine are done...will pop them in the box tomorrow at main post office...after Teabag has taken pics...

welll....she shouldn't be so good at it x

I've finished mine too, I'll get mine packaged ready tomorrow.

Oooh! I am so looking forward to getting mine and making something with them - it will be great.

Done and scanned, not sure they are what is intended but some of them are rather nice, pity I had visitors last week of I'd have had more time to enjoy making them. In the post tomorrow, phew.

Goaty's have been posted just now. Good job I have apost baox opposite. Now we're having a natter.

Mine have been posted to you first thing this morning Lou I hope they arrive with you by tomorrow.

Joy, your lovely ones arrived yesterday. So sorry, hun. I forgot to tell you.

Waiting for Gillians, Dawns, Goaty's and Karelyn's.

Swap closes today. When the others arrive, I'll sort asap and get them back to you.

OK. The postie has just brought, Gillians, Goaty's and Karelyn's. All really lovely too. :

Sorry, Dawn. No sign of yours yet but I'll hang fire a day or so. I'm sure nobody will mind. Fingers crossed, hun.

OK, they're here, Dawn and they are super.
Sorry, hun but postage was under so they didn't deliver.

I'll get them all sorted out now girls, and get them sent out.

sorry about the postage Lou I will sort it out with you next week. Glad they got there ok

glad they arrived safely. x cant wait to see them all

Great, glad they have all arrived safe. I still haven't made up my mind what I will do with them yet.
Anyone else got their ideas what you'll do?

Mines got to be a layout for my 'friends' album.

thought I might do a Lo and frame it for my craft room wall but might change my mind yet!

Yes, I'm putting mine on a little painted/distressed canvas in my craft room. A reminder of good friends.

I haven't got any space left on my small walls to hang any more stuff. So I think it will have to be a 'foldy' thing.
I think I shall end up using butchers hooks from my ceilings before I'm done!

look, stroke,
stroke, look
and stroke and look a lot more.... x x x

Yup, me too

I have no idea what I'm going to do with this, and hope I have time this week to get it done. A wall hanging is the first idea, but will have to see. Looking forward to seeing the variety of twinchies.

Me neither Karin. I'll wait until I'm home and am sure I'll
be inspired.
