Would anybody be interested in a crafty swap?

I'm thinking of something similar to a square exchange, but with any crafts? Like Xmas decs or jewellery or smellies or toys? I think it'd be lovely to send things out and in turn receive something lovely.

Glad you like the jewellery Woolybackswife

Mckayz · 05/12/2013 06:01

I sent mine last week and I sent something else the same day which arrived. I'm hoping the person I'm sending too just hasn't had time to come and post.

TheWoollybacksWife · 05/12/2013 07:47

It is fabulous Baldrick

I've just moved house. If I ever find anything a camera I'll post a picture on the other thread

Hi everyone, sorry I haven't been around, I'm having one bloody disaster after another at the minute.

Can everyone who hasn't received their swap PM me please so I can chase it up for you.

Glad so many of the swaps have worked out, I'm just about to mooch at the picture thread

hey Mckayz - glad you liked the coasters!

AngelsLieToKeepControl · 09/12/2013 15:54

Can anyone else who hasn't received their swaps please PM me.

Anyone who hasn't or can't post theirs or who has posted in the last couple of days can you also PM me please.

whatdoesittake48 · 20/12/2013 10:52

Oh dear - still nothing for me. Angels kindly offered to send me something instead. this isn't necessary, but it was a very kind offer.

I think we should all thank her and the other organisers for their hard work!

Christmas is all about the giving - not the receiving, but I was still looking forward to seeing what crafty Christmas gift I would get. I suppose there are still a few post days left....

JustCallMeBaldrick · 21/12/2013 06:59

I think mine's arrived! I've got a mystery parcel from Switzerland, but as it's wrapped in Xmas paper my mean family won't let me open it until the 25th

JustCallMeBaldrick · 25/12/2013 21:17

I opened it today! Thank you for my fantastic apron and the yummy Swiss chocolate

Blottedcopybook · 27/12/2013 11:20

With absolutely no excuses at all, I am so very sorry to my recipient. I made your gift but it didn't survive the making process and I had to remake it which (for my craft) is time-intensive. I finished on Sunday and posted on Monday next day guaranteed before 1pm and tracked it all day on Tuesday praying it would arrive which I know it didn't.

I've just tracked it again and delivery was attempted today so it is with your local post office. Angels has the tracking number if you need it - please accept my profuse apologies, know that your gift was made with much love and I hope you like it even if it is so very late.

Oh focuson maybe you were due to recieve from me? I shall pm you?

OP posts:

Blottedcopybook · 02/01/2014 14:02

Focuson - I would love to send you something if you'd like to send me your address? I was so delighted with the present you made for me x

focuson · 02/01/2014 20:33

Oh no blotted .. Have been in touch with angels but thank you so much for offer. I am however curious as to each other's crafts will pm you x

Kveta · 07/01/2014 14:08

nothing here, but never mind :) I know my butterflies winged their way up north, so am happy they made it safely!

Mckayz · 09/01/2014 09:35

I have no idea if mine arrived I hope it did.

whatdoesittake48 · 09/01/2014 13:00

I never received mine...could have been the dreaded Royal Mail. I don't know who was supposed to have sent mine - but I am in Basingstoke, if that helps anyone work out if theirs might have been lost in the post.

Such a shame some of the swaps didn't turn up, I know I posted mine 2 months ago but don't know if my swappee has got it.
Are people interested in another swap?

OP posts:

focuson · 12/01/2014 18:45

I am very puzzeled as to number not turning up as well as lack of feedback and thanks on site. If my one ever turned up would be delighted in showing it of and saying thank you.

Mckayz · 12/01/2014 20:16

Focus, that's another problem. I think some people have never posted here so they might have received but we don't know about it.

whatdoesittake48 · 14/01/2014 14:34

I would still be keen on another swap - it is all in the anticipation anyway! Plus i always have little projects on the go which have no home.
