I loved the gift exchange--especially being paired up. My partner and I are now even Facebook friends. Lol! Erin at InBetweenLaundry.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteLinda, after your last reminder I contacted my partner to let her know I had sent the gift, but have heard nothing. It's no prob though, the gift is in the post anyway. But just to keep you updated, I def did email to say it was sent xx
ReplyDeleteI loved the handmade gift exchange! It really cool to see what other people make!
ReplyDeleteI truly wish we could do this once a month!! I had so much fun! It was great to have an excuse to start a project; I love giving gifts. <3
ReplyDeleteok, I am gonna try TRY to make it into the next one this summer. December is the worst month for me, I can never get anything crafty done.
ReplyDeletePfff... I've contacted my swapper yesterday! I am the one who's late, I lost internet access for a couple of weeks and couldn't check her address... but it's on the way already!!! I want to apologise to Jessie once more!!!! =)
ReplyDeleteSuch a great idea Linda! I have sent my gift & I hope that Maria posts some photos as mine are a bit fuzzy ( camera is on it's last legs). I really enjoyed making the gift & have posted the photos on the flickr group.

I love the gift exchange, but I didn't like being paired up. My partner asked me very directly what I "wanted," and I thought it would be fun to just get a random gift. Plus, she is much more advanced at her craft than I am, so I then felt bad about giving her something that wasn't as good - or specific - as she gave me. It just ended up being awkward.
ReplyDeleteOh Wow....
ReplyDeleteOf course I love this activities!!
And of course i will join again.
It make me so excited to prepare the gift, and enjoy on viewing others gift.
So far the way you make this exchange quite ok i think. And i have no any comment at the moment, but once i got an idea, will update to you. =)
I have been too busy to post my gift. It literally had me jumping up and down. Sorry, Lu!
ReplyDeleteI sent a gift to my partner but I haven't heard anything back from her. No biggie, I know it's a stressful time! Thanks for setting this up Linda...it's a great idea!
