It's okay with me because I never do more than a couple of swaps at a time.

I was thinking about food...well I always am.  But I was thinking about this swap and about the food I want to make.  Are others thinking of sweets or healthy?  "real" looking or inspired?  I was thinking that cherries made out of crochet embroidery floss for earings would be so cute!!!  (there is a tut for limes listed on the tut list)   Any Plans out there?
