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?

Hmmm - what do we think? Post pics or wait 'til our partners confirm they've arrived & then post pics (no reason we can't post on both of our own blogs)?

I'm very nosy impatient excited so am tempted to say post pics, post pics - but I'll go with the consensus on this

Miaou - I'm afraid you've been lumbered with me!!

I had thought of something brill for you - then realised that we had to incorporate an Easter theme - so I was back to square 1.

But I've racked my brains (which didn't take long) and now thought of something else that:

a) can contain the colours you like
b) still has the essence of my original thought
and c) related to Easter

Just got to make it now!!

Miaou · 13/02/2008 15:47

Oooh well done dizzyday - ARGH hadn't realised about an Easter theme!!! That's me back to square one as well

Will have to have another think ...

Champs · 13/02/2008 20:40

meridian · 13/02/2008 20:44

Miaou · 14/02/2008 16:28

OMG Tilly, Ive only started to get inspiration for yours!

Will email you tonight.

Where in Cornwall are you going? We went to Tintagel last weekend, it was beautiful.

Whizzz · 14/02/2008 18:44

Oh dear, I'm still pondering mine.....

vInTaGeVioLeT · 14/02/2008 20:56

oh god oh god oh god panic panic

Miaou · 14/02/2008 21:51

Don't panic vintage, you've got aaaaaages yet!

Tillyboo · 14/02/2008 22:12

Hi Fubsy, have emailed you. I'm off to Launceston - not far from you actually.

Don't worry, I've nowhere near finished yet and we have ages to finish.

I might bodge it yet and have to start again

Gingermonkey · 14/02/2008 22:56

I got my gift!

I got a cute easter egg hanging decoration & a beautiful card that matches it. I oohed & aahed over them, showed them to dd3 then had to chase her around the room to get my egg back - she's not chuffed

Thank you Dior - you can now blog away.

p.s. - if you're putting a pic of them on the blog can I pinch borrow it so I can put it on mine? Getting dh to get his camera out when there are no birds of the feathered variety around is like getting blood out of a stone.

GM - What's your's ? Go on Whisper (I'm leaning into the laptop .... ooh, that sounds great)

I've posted a a little teaser on my blog for Fubsy.

Any guesses ????

Fubsy · 15/02/2008 20:44

No idea!

I started something for you yesterday, but DD says it looks Christmassy, so Im going to do a different one.

vInTaGeVioLeT · 15/02/2008 21:19
