Luvachicken Posted June 20, 2021 Author Share Posted June 20, 2021 Thank you @HarrisonFamily and @Cat tails for saying you'll wait to keep me company 🤗 OK, August Bank Holiday Recipe Swap ready to go........ I was thinking we could do a recipe either hand written or printed with something pretty, or on a card.... what do you think ? It would be very easy to do and wouldn't take so long to do. Of course it would have to arrive on the Saturday before the Bank Holiday as there is no post on the Sunday or Monday. I shall start a new topic nearer the time ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted June 20, 2021 Author Share Posted June 20, 2021 @HarrisonFamily and @Cat tails you don't need to wait for me 😊 although it was very kind of you to offer. I would rather you opened your gifts tomorrow as we are meant to. I know you have had yours for a while Cat tails, so I think your excitement will be too much to have to wait any longer Please open them tomorrow xx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarrisonFamily Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 OK I had a peek and then gave up and just opened up a lovely gift whilst eating a Colin the caterpillar - my favourite Earl Grey tea (Haven't tried Dorset tea yet) - a beautiful smelling heart and matching storage bag in lovely chicken print - Thank you so much they are lovely and have brightened this freezing cold - wet - June day . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Had myself a cup of tea and some apple cranberry oatmeal cake. Opened my box to find such lovely things! An amazing blue kitty with little legs that move. A colourful rainbow hanger. A beautiful notepad with guinea pigs on it. And a mystery pouch which contained the most amazing chicken bunting! I feel so spoiled! Thank you secret swappee! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EllieG Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Thanks to whoever sent me these lovely decorations! I shall eagerly await Christmas and pop them on the tree.

Luvachicken Posted June 28, 2021 Author Share Posted June 28, 2021 My parcel was worth the wait 😊 In the post today, arrived 3 of the cutest bumble bees, a very pretty egg collecting apron and some naughty sweeties. I love the bumble bees - I think they have been crocheted - with teeny beady eyes. The apron is fab but I'm not sure I will be able to fill all of the pockets Think I will save the sweeties - marshmallows, flying saucers, and jelly bottles - for Friday night whilst watching Gardener's World. Thank you very much to my lovely swappee. Oh sorry, just realised the first picture is a bit blurry. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
