All those wanting to take part in the swop can you please email me with a list of "wishes"....something you would really like that costs under a tenner....its no good someone sending you an eyeletting tool if you already have one.
Also a list of dislikes....for the same reason really....whats the point of someone sending you a pack of buttons if you never use them.

Ummmmmm, I don't do eyelets or buttons, so how would that work. I do good parcels though, Ask Mrs F.

UCM....you can buy a small pack to include in your parcel....how do you manage to cardmake with out using eyelets???

Buttons are the new "essential" item donchaknow??

I'd Love to do this stocking thingy!!!

I love buying pressies!!!!

And especially when it's for someone who loves what i love!!!!

Have just e-mailed . What is your sister exhibiting JM? I have just looked at the list on the net and there are loads. Won't be surprised in DH hides my purse!! I have tried to think of a sensible list of 'needs' purchases but think it might be difficult.

Can I join in please.

I am sorry but no.

Anyone else?????

Can you please email me with a list of likes/dislikes and some ideas of things you are wishing for that cost no more than £10.
Thanks.

jayzmummy...i am sorry- but please can i pull out of this....it's worrying me...i wrecked the card i made for misdee when i was 'tweaking' it...and threw it in the bin...and still feel so awful...i should have left it alone.....

so i have decided at the mo to not get carried away doing this lovel group things...that i'll balls up.

i am still doing the 'them and us' challenge...as noone is relying on me...i just get to make a card.

sorry everyone.

No worries Mrs F....but you dont need to make anything for this ....its just a case of buying a pressie for your swopper and wrapping it up. Think about it and if you have a change of mind let me know.

I know what you mean about "tweaking" having just spent the last two hours making a card...I buggered it up in one second by just trying to add an extra finish and then spent the next 30 mins trying to put it right...I managed to put it right but its soooooo annoying.

OOh it's annoying when that happens isn't it? I made a lovely snowman card yesterday, and left it blank for ages coz I was too scared I'd mess it up finsihing it! It was fine though.

It happens with the quilling a lot. You make all the coils, glue them then the last one sticks to your cocktail stick, unravels and hen you have to spend ages trying to make one exactly the same size as the one you ballsed up.
ANd invaiably you run out of paper at that stage.
