C Dawn
A Karelyn
N Steph
N Jo
Y Kim

C Maria
R Nona
A Karin
F Gillian
T Cb

All lovely and hard to choose which I like best, although I think probably Nona takes the prize!

Thank you again Lorraine for organising this lovely swap.

It has been a fabby swap. Still playing with a couple of ideas on how to use them,
and have pretty well made up my mind, but please bare with me, as I need to get
someone to take me out to buy something.

I was so pleased with my selection. Lucky me got 2 of Pattys - both totally
different.
C Nona's fabulous metallic C - I think my favourite.
A Patty's pink with buttons.
N Dawn - love the N - very special
N Suzy with a lovely Goaty stamp on the back
Y Lorraine - love the Y - a whole set of these would be stunning

C Maria - think enamelled - really nice
R Karin - lovely colours- love this one
A Joy - with topaz gem
F Patty's second one -gorgeous.Love both of them
T KT (surprise there's a dragonfly) another gorggeous one
E Jo's giraffe one. Shame this set had to be split - they are great.
R Kim - one of my favs - nice piece of work.

Thanks Lorraine for running the swap. An unusual idea and it paid off.
Thanks to everyone who took part.

That was sent to the wrong address Karelyn.

Still not arrived, good thing really as the dogs escaped from the kitchen today and got to the post first!

by kt_dragonfly Sat 7 Mar 2009 - 18:01

No twinchies.....................

by **Lorraine** Sat 7 Mar 2009 - 18:16

Oh, Kate.
I'm so sorry, hun. I wonder where they are?

by Maria Sat 7 Mar 2009 - 23:29

You are so not going to beleive this Lorraine........

spoke to Twiz and the twinchies have arrived.... know what Im going to say yet???

Peeing Laughing

yep, they havent franked it again!!! Twiz cant see anything different about the envelope and neither could I but he says it definitely hasnt been franked. So, another postage free swap for me then... i reckon the mail people realise the importance and realise that there NEEDS to be free psotage between you and I.

Im gonna be gutted when they do frank it.

by **Lorraine** Sun 8 Mar 2009 - 0:16

Blurdy 'ell, Laughing Hard

I reckon the envi itself will get fed up of all the travelling before the PO franks it, lol.

The letters are different colours Kim.

by kt_dragonfly Wed 11 Mar 2009 - 8:33

Well a note came through my door saying there is an item waiting which didn't have enough postage... So fingers crossed!

However if it is my twinchies, I'm pretty sure they had the same postage going there as they did coming back, the envelope wasn't any bigger and def. not any heavier, so Thinking

Ahhh, now then. IF I remember correctly, Kate I don't think there was enough postage, but they didn't charge me this time so I forgot to mention it. I'm not sure mind, but something seems to ring a bell.

by kt_dragonfly Wed 11 Mar 2009 - 15:40

i know there wasn't enough postage on my last swap before that (tags i think).

Thats it, going to buy myself a book of large stamps to make sure from now on (Or post it through works mail lol)

by karinlouise Wed 11 Mar 2009 - 20:08

It may have all been same envie etc KT, but the twinches comeing back to you only need to be a couple of grams each heavier and it will add up. Fingers crossed its them though.

I haven 't done my LO yet, but I have it in mind what I am going to do, after I've got this week and saturday out of the way I am going to get them done. xxx

by Scatty Wed 11 Mar 2009 - 20:26

I have just sat and had a good look at them all in the other thread, and I have to say WOW you have all made such wonderfull tiny bits of art. Well done to you all, liking what has been made so far and look forward to seeing everyones.

by Maria Thu 12 Mar 2009 - 18:29

Aww, what a delicious package to come home to..... now that would put a smile on anyones face! Ive got a really smashing set, all my fave ones... when I saw mums I kept thinking 'aww, i hope ive got one of Dawns/Lorraines/Stephs and that i would die if I didnt have one of Jos.

Cooked breakfasts as well? Good heavens, I'd be putting more than 2lb on if I had one of those every morning for a week!
