Swap Time

Hello friendly blog readers. I have been thinking about organising a swap through my blog for a while now and I recently saw one on Swap-Bot that I thought might be pretty easy to organise.

Basically I make up a box of goodies - fabric, papers, ribbons, hand-made items, buttons, vintage stuff, lollies...... you get the picture. Then I post it off to the next person on the list, they take out 3 things and replace them with three things and they post to the next person on the list and so on until the last person who posts it back to me (hopefully not with the same things I sent!).

I will take a picture of the contents and then each person could take pictures of what they take out and what they put in to keep the anticipation going. There would be a maximum of a two week turnaround for each person but obviously the quicker it goes the better so we don't lose momentum.

The cost of postage should be no more than $10.

If you are interested in participating email me at cassandra_ward(at)telstra(dot)com

The closing date is 25th May and then I'll get it posted the following week.
This is open to Australian residents only due to postage costs.


Also I was recently part of a softie swap over at Essential Baby. I got this hippo from My Little Pony after much delay by Australia Post. I've had to use MLP's photo because the hippo went for a swim in the bath and so is now drying off.

Glad to hear the hippo swam in the bath and not the toilet Cass! He's very cute.

I'd be interested in a swap. Sounds like fun!

Helen said...

I'll be in Cass. Would patterns and mags be okay to put in?

Cass said...

Yes Helen, basically anything crafty

Stacey said...

I'd love to be included too!

I think I have missed the joining date for this swap. What a pity it sounds like so much fun. If you are by chance still looking for people to play along e-mail me at cathkirwan(at)optusnet(dot)com(dot)au

I love the Hippo too. He's so cute.
