I am a little behind in my posting! A few days ago I received two boxes in the mail which was very exciting! Both of them were swaps. The first that I opened was my long awaited Thrift Swap package. I gave up on this a while back as it was due about 6 weeks ago. When it didn’t show I emailed Amy, the organiser to let her know and she contacted my mystery partner and got back to me to say that the person was (understandably) quite annoyed as she had spent heaps to send it to me and now it hadn’t even arrived!
I thought that was the end of it, but it turns out that Amy put the word out about me and a few other people who had similar stories and some lovely kind-hearted people stepped up to complete the swap for us. I would like to thank Sarah for sending me this great package! Sam (the family artist) has claimed the anatomy book and Emma loves the little handbag and there were some other great things in there too. I know it cost a lot to send so thanks again Sarah.
I had to wait until Jack got home from school before I could open the other box but when I told him and Emma about it they were so excited! It was the box from their Miniswap partners, Jaylie, Jaden and Journey whose mom Joy has a scrapping blog at www.scrapalicio.us - lots of J’s in that family! Jack and Emma loved their package. Here they are with all their loot! There were drawings from the kids and toys and games and art supplies and silly hats and lots of great stuff. Thanks so much! This was a fun swap! I will post pics of what we sent them once I know it has arrived.
More Miniswap pics here. Thanks Molly for organising the Miniswap - what a great idea!
