    Glad you liked everything Hayley. I was impressed with how the little purse came out too and I enjoyed making it. I'm gonna make another one with the pink and black fabric you sent me in the happygram.

    I opened Hayley's package, here's what I got:

    Craft from Hayley

    Totoro letter from Hayley

    She used my stash to make- chocolate bar earings, a mushroom bracelet, a draw-string bag with a cute mushroom charm, a kawaii mushroom and a pin cushion. Thanks Hayley. My flatmates will especially thank you for the pin-cushion as I've been needing one for ages. I'll no longer need to push my pins into the sofa arm to get lost. Yay!

    Swap Angels for Incomplete Swaps

    Started over 1 year ago · Last post 3 months ago ·
    NEED ANGEL


    Name: Libby W.


    Location: Cardiff UK (the recipient of this swap isn't me- she lives in Newcastle UK)

    Incomplete Swap: Love for someone else Round 3

    Date you mailed out: 22 dec

    Size of Swap: According to Pamela's guidelines this would be a small swap as it was 3 handmade items, but I actually think its more med sized as it was 1 large item and 2 smaller ones (my large item was a notebook cover if that helps). I'm planning on posting what I sent on the love another board so you can get a better idea.

    The idea of this swap wasn't that we sent to each other but that we sent to a friend each of us nominated. Take a look at the board for a better explanation:

    Partner: Cassie B

    Swap: Love for another swap

    Issue: For this swap we weren't sending to each other but to a friend each of us nominated. I sent out on the 22nd dec but haven't heard if her friend Megan received. I asked my friend to let me know if she recieved anything but she hasn't so far. I put a lot of thought and time into crafting for this swap (and it was expensive to post) and I'm disapointed that my friend hasn't had anything in return.

    Solution: Taken this to swap angels board and messaged swap host (Jolanda)

    **Happy grams!** (Fourth edition!)

    Started almost 2 years ago · Last post about 23 hours ago ·
    You're welcome Mary. I thought you deserved a surprise. And I can't believe how quick that arrived- I posted that on FRIDAY! Glad your bf liked the postcards, although I hope he lets you keep 1 or 2 or them.

    I got an envelope template for xmas (its basically a wooden board in the shape of a flattened out envelope). I've been making envelopes out of EVERYTHING, although it needs a4 sized paper and I got rid of a lot of my magazines when I moved, so have limited options; cue the amnesty international magazine getting utilised.

    If you wanted to make one you could dismantle the envelope I sent you (or any envelope) and draw round it on a piece of card and use that as a template. All you would need to do to put your envelopes together would be to fold the little side flaps in and glue them to the back section. Put in your letter then fold down the top and tape it up.

    Hayley I got your package today....I haven't opened it yet. I don't want to open it until I've posted mine off. I hope this doesn't sound wierd but I don't want to be influenced by what you're sent me. I'm gonna start crafting tomorrow and will hopefully send out by the end of the week, if not then Monday.

    I was working today, on a saturday : ( but I got hope to find a happy gram from Hayley : )

    Here's piccies:

    Happygram

    I also got wadding (I wasn't sure if that was just packaging or included as a craft supply- either way I'll definitely make use of it or a pin cushion or plushie)and a story written by Hayley. Which was really fun! No-ones send me a story before!

    Here's a close-up on the buttons and things that were in the little purple bag and the paper rose, which I saw in your projects the other day and absolutely loved:

    Buttons!

    Stash and Craft swap - round 2! ^_____^

    Started over 1 year ago · Last post about 1 year ago ·
    My stash from Hayley arrived too.

    Stash from Hayley #2

    She is so much better at picking stuff that matches than I am. And doesn't just go crazy and stuff any old thing in the envelope.

    If you can't find a use for the postcards, you can just keep them as I have a box-full.

    That yellow poker chip was a token I got from the hair-dressers. I thought it was quite a cool way of handing out tokens, that I was determined to find a use for it. I stuck a sticker with a 10 on it to make it look more like a poker chip, (on the side thats not showing in the photo). Unlike the green one it doesn't have a hole in it to use as a charm but I thought you could glue it to something. Again if you can't find a use for it you can keep it.

    I'm glad it arrived Hayley. I know its a bit mismatched I got carried away when I was deciding what to send. I'm afraid I do sometimes send stuff that I don't really know what to do with, because other people have different ideas and a different take on things and might come up with something I may never have thought of.

    Mine arrived as well Jolanda. The envelope had a rip in it but the chocolate was still there- Yay! Looks like an interesting recipe.

    On another note are we all still waiting on 2 more recipes? What do people think, should we ask for 2 angels on the incomplete swap board or just leave it as it is?

    I'd love to see it Debs! Definately let me know if you post it. I think you have your swapping wires crossed though. This is the swap where we make something from the stash we recieve and send it back, rather than the destash swap. Just to clarify.

    I'm up for this:

    Name: Libby W
    Location: Cardiff, UK
    Swap International: Yup

    I can't have artifical colours, so no brightly coloured sweeties or candies please.

    Can I suggest that people tailor when they send out to where they're posting to, i.e. if I was sending to the US I'd make sure I posted a week in advance, so that it gets there in time for valentines day.

    I think Heather must be having problems, as she's normally such a good swapper. I PMed her a couple of weeks back and haven't heard anything. I have the bracelet swap and chunky recipe swap outstanding with her. I've sent my items but not recieved.
