Yeah I know I said I'd post on Monday but I know some of you are getting a little over-excited (naming no names meridian) so here it is.

Easter Swap

Either 1 medium or 2 small Easter-themed items. I'll leave the details entirely up to the individual as you all know what constitutes small or medium for your own particular passion.

Sign up on this thread by 11th February & I'll post partners the day after. Parcels should be mailed by 10th March so that gives us a whole month.

To sign up please copy the list of names & post it, adding your name to the bottom.

I'll go first shall I?

SWAP PARTNERS POSTED

Didn't think it was fair to keep you waiting any longer

I assigned everyone a number alphabetically & made dh call out pairs (took a while amid the cracks about being like the Scottish cup draw, when are the fixtures being played etc). I'll try to get partners' contact details emailed out over the next few days but I think we're pretty much all on the blog anyway aren't we?

Happy crafting

Actually that explains things - I got Dior mixed up with WWB.

Hey it's easy to do - Dior begins with D & WWB begins with . . .erm, WWB has 3 syllables & Dior has . . . erm . . .

WigWamBam · 11/02/2008 14:26

Nor sure Dior would be terribly chuffed at being mixed up with me

Will join in with another one, when I have more time.

Gingermonkey · 11/02/2008 17:12

Hi Fubsy, I don't think I need to change anything in my 'likes and dislikes'. How about you ?

Have you any preferences ?

GreebosWhiskers · 12/02/2008 10:55

Dior if I'd gotten it right in the first place I wouldn't have had to shuffle anything - you're just too kind to mention what a pillock I am

Here is my blog.

GreebosWhiskers · 12/02/2008 18:32

I'll email you my addy & then am off to start stash-hunting.

Actually I think I know what I'm gonna do - I just have to magic up some time to do it in
