LET'S HAVE A SWAP.....

.....said the ingenious SIAN over at FROM HIGH IN THE SKY! I don't know whether it's the fact she does her best crafting and thinking from her perch in the clouds, but she certainly comes up with great ideas. 

She made a list (and very probably checked it twice!) then let the 'swappers' know where their packages were to be sent. She requested that they all be sent by the end of this month...and here I have to confess to just going to make the deadline (HONEST- it will be posted on Monday, Cheri!)

LADKYIS on the other hand, wasn't so tardy and yesterday I picked a package up from the Post Office......and when I got it home and ripped carefully tore it open, this wonderful selection of goodies were enclosed! 



Lots of lovely chipboard, flowers,stars, hearts and frames...and also those gorgeous little rosettes which Ladkyis had made herself from map pages!

"Lucky you" I hear you say....BUT , look what else was enclosed:


......a copy of one of the WORLD BOOK NIGHT books (and one that I haven't read either!). I had hoped to start it last night, but didn't quite get around to it.

Thank you so much, Ladkyis for such a lovely package...and thank you Sian for having such a brilliant idea!

Hoping the sun shines for the UK Bank Holiday weekend.....and wishing everyone a fun weekend, wherever in the world you are!

Thanks for dropping by!
Take care of you

  8. So glad you like it! I had one of those moments after I posted, you know, where you panic a bit and wonder if the recipient will like the book or if there was enough stuff, were the colours right, was it awful to put home made stuff in....
    So glad you like it!!!
