Snowy Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Have finally managed to collect my parcel from the post office today - all I can say is WOW! I will post pics later, but thank you so much to my secret sender. I have a stunning, I think it is called a memory book, or s"Ooops, word censored!" book, with a fabulous red and blue seasidey theme, plus a box of the most delicious white chocolate, blueberry, pistachio and lemon cookies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 Hi - if there is anyone who hasn't received a gift by weekend then I am personally going to make those people something myself. As organiser of this swap, I feel it is my duty to make sure everyone receives something. Well done to all swappers who sent their gifts! & thank you for brightening someone's day!

craftyhunnypie Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 It's not at all bossy Cathy! But I can't see people without, it's not in my nature & it's upsetting. I myself have joined in past swaps & got my gifts to my recipient each time, no matter what I've had on. I hope the next swap is much better or I think people will hesitate about joining in. I'm not having a go or pointing a finger - just a bit hurt that after organising this - some people didn't receive anything - which is beyond my control. So although I shouldn't make any more gifts - I am going to. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I am a little saddened that a few people haven't received their gifts, it does quite put a dampner on it Can I help Emma??? if you need me to make an extra gift please just hollar ok?? xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperwife Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 maybe we need restrict the swap for Christmas only everyone could maybe send the pressie (small) to a central place and then the organiser could send them off hmmm, Im making this sound like loads of hard work now, it would stop being fun come on gang, get the presents sorted and sent!!! cathy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 The postman has been- he brought me my White Stuff ebay bargain skirt ( I'm wearing it now ) but no present for Alihodg. Maybe his present has been posted but got lost in the post? He tells me that if he doesn't get a present it doesn't matter, since I made his crafty swop for him while he was away at camp, & I posted it He didn't have anything to do with it. Thanks guys x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couperwife Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 how lovely they look like "hang on coathangers" type things how do people make things smell nice like that? is it essential oils on cotton wool or something or is it more technical than that? *got loads of felt at home - want to make something with it* cathy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are little plastic beads that absorb scent - you can buy them ready scented or plain to add your own favourite perfumed oil. They absorb the oil and don't leave a residue so are brilliant for filling fabric items Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emily95 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Just like to say, that my gift maker has sent me a Pm, explaining why my gift will be a little late.

One or two ) Thank you secret sender! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMS Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Here are my gifts - my photography doesn't do them justice: I decided to have boiled eggs and soldiers for tea so I have already used the egg cosies! Thank you again Secret Swapper. I hope that the "giftless" receive their gifts soon. It would be such a shame if the halloween swap was cancelled. I get so much pleasure from giving and receiving my gifts. Alison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
