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

Oh Skiffler, it's so lovely. I have written a note with it and am debating writing my christmas lists in it for food etc.
I just feel so grown up with my matching pad and pen

Although I am slightly disappointed that there was no poodle

skiffler · 19/12/2009 08:50

Mutter, mutter. There's no pleasing some people...

JackTheHallsWithBauersOfHolly · 19/12/2009 12:05

Have been writing completely pointless lists all day, just so i can look all grown up.

TwoIfBySeasonsGreetings · 19/12/2009 21:19

So, has everyone received theirs then? Except me and mine?

dizzyday07 · 19/12/2009 21:21

I haven't received mine - but who I sent to has!

CharCharGabor · 19/12/2009 21:30

Nothing here yet and mine won't have arrived either.

HohohoBumperlicious · 19/12/2009 22:33

Mine was just send today - apologies!

skiffler · 20/12/2009 08:42

Not received mine yet, either (although there is a parcel waiting for me at the delivery office, but it could be my Amazon order!)

ChilloHippi · 21/12/2009 15:20

I can't wait anymore! I need to open something!!

skiffler · 21/12/2009 17:57

Damn. Turned out to be Amazon after all - lots of things for other people but nothing for ME!!

JackTheHallsWithBauersOfHolly · 21/12/2009 17:58

I have no idea if the present I sent has arrived. In fact I don't think my pickee has appeared on this thread at all.....unless she's namechanged.

Still haven't opened mine! It's under the tree, looking enticingly at me. 4 more days and I can unleash the poodle!!!

JackTheHallsWithBauersOfHolly · 21/12/2009 21:26

CUppatea, panic not, yours has arrived!

By PerArduaAdSolInvictus Fri 11-Dec-09 21:27:11
I just received my swap. I AM NOWHERE NEAR READY TO POST! YOU ARE SHOWING ME UP!

But it's lovely. V Lovely. Thank you ver ver much.

PDCW has been namechanging

CuppaTeaJanice · 21/12/2009 21:43

Ah, that explains it.

...easy to confuse my little brain!!!!

JackTheHallsWithBauersOfHolly · 21/12/2009 22:22

And I just realised I outed you. Sorry. DH has been plying me with martini's all night and I am a leetle tipsy!

BumpersSanta · 21/12/2009 22:48

Just checking as sent parcel recorded delivery....not arrived yet. Gah, Christmas post.

CuppaTeaJanice · 22/12/2009 10:42

That's ok Jack, don't worry!!! Just glad she liked it!

JackTheHallsWithBauersOfHolly · 22/12/2009 12:07

Anyone had post yet?!

skiffler · 22/12/2009 13:08

It's here! It's here!

And it's wonderful! (we don't have the resolve of CuppaTea in this household...) I have some beautiful crocheted fingerless gloves in my favourite colour (they fit perfectly, by the way), and DD has a little pink crocheted mouse called Lily. Lily is a big hit and has so far done some trampolining, been eaten by a dinosaur and had a ride on the cat...

Thank you, thank you, whoever you are!

Jack, if we take photos of our presents, is there somewhere to put them?

HellBent · 22/12/2009 13:37

I got mine today, I lasted all of two seconds trying not to open it! It even said MN craft swap on the back so I had no excuse!

Anyway I'm glad I opened it as it was some cute knitted stockings for my Christmas tree.

They haven't made it there yet, they are on DD's baby annabelle and teddy's feet just now but will get there soon. One is being hung on the fireplace for our hamster, but the other 5 will be on very soon. Perfect colours too, everything on our tree is silver and black this year.

Thank you so much!

JackTheHallsWithBauersOfHolly · 22/12/2009 15:18

skiffler, if you email them to me then I will put them on the blog, I promise

HohohoBumperlicious · 22/12/2009 16:55

I got mine today but DH said I am not allowed to open it! We aren't taking presents with us when we are going away as my mum will be giving DD so much stuff! So we are having a second christmas when we get back and I am going to save it till then

DingDongMiamlaOnHigh · 22/12/2009 17:57

mine arrived this morning
it technically wasn't wrapped and therefore it was just the envelope i opened! honest guv!

CharCharGabor thank you!!!! (in case anyone's wondering how i know...she wrote a little note to me )
I absolutely love the combination of fabrics you used! gorgeous
and the cranes are beautiful, so delicate and survived their flight here perfectly
thank you!
