Angel in Need for a May Swap

Would anyone like to volunteer to be an Angel" for Monique for the month of May? Monique has been one of our long time swappers and unfortunately never received her May package from a newer swapper. Life happens sometimes, but I always try and make sure my swappers are never left out ther hanging with out a package....

You would send her as close to the theme as possible:

1. 1. A pattern for 1 project, EX: shawl or shrug, or cape, or poncho
   2. Enough yarn for the project
   3. All the notions required
   4. A card [for your partner to use, so do not write in it]
   5. A package of seeds and a small pot
   6. A photo album
   7. An "old times" DVD movie, like Gone with the Wind, or An Affair to Remember, or an old Betty Davis movie, there are tons that are priced $1 and some in black and white [try any Kmart or Walmart for cheaper prices]

Please comment her if you can angel for Monique. Her address can be found on our "Swappers" page. Link in the right column. Thank you....

Just a Reminder

When we start back up again in Sept. I want to remind everyone that:

• your packages should be sent with new items, or "like" new condition.


• Keep to theme as much as possible


• if you cannot send the items that are in the requirements, then use an alternate substitute of equal quality


• always post when you send and receive your packages


• ALWAYS SAY THANK YOU TO your partners, remember that our swapper stake time, $$, and pride in sending their packages and they want to hear from you


• send what that month's theme is, and be sure to send ALL the items


• If something happens and you are going to be late or cannot send your package, let your partner and the hostess know by sending them both emails


• Have fun!!

It came! It came!

My first-ever swap arrived today! I am so excited!

It all came in the cutest Mickey Mouse box (in the right of the picture). I got: a sparkly sun-visor, a summery tote bag with blue flamingoes on a light blue background with white flowers, a crochet pattern for a USA tote bag and all the yarn I need to make it, a flag magnet and flag ribbon magnet for my van, a sparkly USA pin, some Mickey Mouse stickers (to match my box, perhaps?), a red and white striped photo envelope, a window-hanger/sun catcher of red clear and blue stars strung with red, clear, and blue beads, a bag of red, silver, and blue beads, AND two gummy crabby patties, which my boys insist are for them. They're not are they Debb? LOL

Thank you so much, Crochetaholic-Debb. I feel so blessed. Today, we were watching one of my boys friends and they had another friend over for the day to play. So my house was full of loud boys and Mommy was in need of a treat! So, your timing could not have been more perfect. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Welcome 2 New Swappers

Welcome

Brandy M and Lisa M

A little about Lisa:

"I live in a small town in Tennesee . I'm married to the greatest hubby in the world . I have to say that cause of my yarn collection . hubby does not get the "yarn thing " but I do and that is all that matters . I have 2 boys nickolas (12) and nathan (8) . Never a dull moment here ! I use to knit but I crossed over to crochet . I love crochet , I liked knitting but became very bored w/ it . I like to collect crochet books , one never has enough books "

A litttle about Brandy:

"I've been crocheting for 5+ years now. This will only be my second swap ever. It looks quite interesting though. I don't blog (right now)"
