Sorry if it has already been organized but I think it would be fun to send a wee parcel (that is if the post is not on strike) With home made goodies to someone ho would appreciate
Let me know what you think

Well I'm not fussy about colours but I hate gingham, it makes me feel ill!!!

Not really into frills and flouncy stuff either, so please don't make me one of those dolly toilet roll cover thingys.

Getting excited now....must start stalking my pickee for inspiration!!

'please don't make me one of those dolly toilet roll cover thingys'

Spoilsport. What about a Poodle

(actually, they are really fricking freaky. Have totally weirded myself out)

They are evil Seriously, HOW did you find them?

What's the betting that everyone now makes one of those poodles for their swap?!

Actually, that looks like it might be a request - NO!!

Hello

Thanks for the email JB. For info I am late 20's, I like pretty things, not fussed about colours, though for wearing soft muted tones suit me best (I have medium brown hair, medium brown eyes and yellow toned skin ). I would say my style (ha!) is yummy mummy with an occasional kooky twist, and I like lounging, crochet and talking . I also have a 2.5 year old DD. Can't think of any other info, just really excited to be involved.

Morning!

For my picker's info: I'm not really a frilly or sequins kind. Having brown hair, green eyes and paleish skin, Autumn colours suit me best (apart from yellow), but I have various colours around the house. I love Christmas: the colours, traditional and crafty decs and get quite childish in the run up...starting about now. I love wool, felt and crocheted stuff, only wish I was better at knitting and could crochet - have a book to learn from but need to the time to concentrate, often difficult with my hectic DS2 2.6 and DS1 5.5.

Am quite arty, love cooking, painting and dabbling with fabrics. Oh, and eating and drinking . I'm not very good at following rules though!

If you are thinking of making me a poodle, please note I am allergic to dogs .

hello got your email with the address of the person I am to send to.
I just hope she will post to say whaht she likes and don't like.... well we will see.
as for myself, my fav colour is purple,
I am 43 and young at heart,I have 2 girls, 3 and 12 and I am easygoing and have no dislike I can think of so anything will please me I am sure

Oh, likes and dislikes? Well, I love Christmas and my birthday is just before, dts is just after so December is a really good month. I don't have any dislikes where Christmas is concerned tbh, I'm just happy at the thought of getting something homemade as it means a world more

I have my swappee (?) details and know exactly what to send them, some of it is ready as I start making my Christmas stuff early on and it is great to be able to send some to someone else.

I've received my swapee info - thanks.

Like Mamandomi, my fav colour is purple. I am 42, married, with a DS of 16 and a DD of 5. I'm not "girly" or like things that smell . I do have a penchant for bright coloured socks though!!

Our house at Xmas is a mix of the traditional and modern and can't wait to see what is made for me xx

I don't want to give the game away but can Skiffler please indicate what sort of sized hands/wrists she has:

a) childlike
b) slender
c) average
d) strong but deft
e) Sarah Jessica Parker
e) the envy of your husband (hair optional)

Feel free to ignore the question and I will improvise

Thanks in advance, going to name change back.

I only know the real name of my receipient, not their MN name.

Sent you a mail Jack.

let me know when you get it.

Oooh! That's me! That's me!
Hands are slightly smaller than average, with slender fingers but wideish palms (hmm, sounds attractive, doesn't it?!). Again, wrists are maybe slightly smaller than average, but not drastically so.

Good news is, this doesn't sound like a poodle...unless it's designed to sit in the palm of the hand?

Jack, is there a deadline for the swap?

likes and dislikes

likes: home made surprises

dislikes: smelly things

if my santa wants me to be more specific i'm happy to be but i'd rather not iyswim!

ChilloHIppi, have replied with your 'name'

Lavender, I have your mail, will mail you back later

Mailed you lavender!

(That doesn't sound right)

Has a posting date been decided?

Am rubbish without a deadline. Know it's before 25th December (am quick, me ).

Jack I haven't had the email yet. WOuld you be able to try sending it again please?
I'm not having the best of days here DS has swine flu and the cat has gone to Heaven

Oh Chillo, I'm so sorry Have resent email. Poor you Girls were ill last week so I know what a nightmare that is on it's own.

I would say post before Friday 18th. Last posting day is the next week so things have a good chance of arriving before christmas then.

Jack! I have been arsing about and didn't realise I was supposed to email you as well as enthuse on this thread. Am I too late? Is there another incompetent straggler I could be matched with?

I'm sure I can sort something.
