I'm a teacher of French language in a Dutch high school, so I really, really like the idea of this swap! As I'm also expecting a baby in july we're pretty busy with changes in our house, and that leaves not much room and time for serious crafting. But I'll keep an eye in the forum/gallery because I'm very curious to see what you're all going to make 
Happy crafting and Christmas break you all 

OMG, I just discovered the gallery, didn't know we had one yet...  Really nice to see all the pics of the packages and can't wait to see the rest.
Nobodyhasthisoneyet, I'm glad you liked the things I sent and it indeed arrived super-quick!
Wish you all nice holidays 
 

I went to the postoffice today after work and mailed your box, nobodyhasthisoneyet! The poor lady at the post office had green paint on her fingers, because it hadn't dried properly yet  But ok that's just the outside of the package....
Oh and as I receicled a Japanese mail box, there were some strange things written on the outside, like the word "MAD", so nobodyhasthisoneyet, you know that were the Japanese who wrote that and not me 
I really hope you liked what I made.. It was actually the first time I participated in a swap and felt so clumsy while crafting!  Hope you'll like the little items I inserted and there's also something yummie for your tummie 
in it.

Hi all,
I'll also be sending out monday! Found a cute thing in a Fair Trade shop..small, usefull and exotic ;-)
My fabric item is almost finished and will be doing some last work this afternoon.   

Hm I already made and bought a few little things....hope my partner will like them 

Ok, just learned that I'm in the "ménage à trois" too, that clears the confusion 

Hmm something I don't quite understand...if you're in the threesome, nobodyhasthisoneyet, then logically I should be in that one too? Or isn't that logical   

Yaaay, thanks for sending my partner-info, I'm very exited!
 

Hahahaha..... yep.  Been done before.  I wanted a particular flower in my bouquet for my wedding, but the friends who were doing the flowers couldn't get it through a florist.  So two nights before the wedding found me driving my car with my father-in-law and husband-to-be nicking the flowers I wanted from the local shopping centre gardens and the garden of a house not far from where we were staying.  I feel a little guilty about nicking from a private house.  I just hope they realise how much joy it gave me - both then and at the wedding!!!! 

Ha that's some adventurous way of finding your wedding bouquet!  I alsways find myself collecting seeds in tropical botanical gardens, to find out later at home that these plants just won't grow in our cold Dutch climate...

Only 1 day to the "official" start of the swap, yeaaaah! 

Thanks for adding me, jdb822! Just like SallyB I'm already thinking (all the time; at work, in bed, behind my desk, on my bike  ) about what to make and there are just so many possibilities, aahhh!!
Hope more love-minded people will join in the next days...
