I always remember the pictures after I have them packed up! I was good this time and did it before I have to open it back up.

I joined late, so I will definitely be crafting until the send-out date! But I’ve already made great progress! :wink:

I’m finishing up this weekend and shipping Monday. My S suddenly and completely changed on me 2 nights ago. Weird middle of the night random ah-ha moment.

I had the hardest time starting. I managed to two items, then better ideas came and i remade them, so i get this.

Well, I had planned to send on Friday but somehow I lost track of time and was too late to make it before closing time. Saturday my two sons had a training day with our go-kart and we left early and arrived late.
Today the PO is closed but we have shops with service points that are open, so I went there. The lady made a mistake and instead of an envelope parcel, she charged them as large, heavy parcels. Anyway, I discovered it on time, it saves me around 40 euros! (44 US dollars)

Of course I had one already wrapped up when I remembered I had to take pictures…
Ha, let’s hope the travel will be smooth and swift.

My first item turned out awesome! It just needs to dry. I might still make a ________ for it, if I have the time…

Item two is in the ”millions of possibilities” stage. Or I could over complicate things and make a __________ instead. Oh, how I love complicated ideas…

I changed my plans for “S.” :face_with_spiral_eyes: Still on track to send when I said I would, which is Tuesday.
Somewhat related news: My grandfather in law surprised me with birthday money. So off to the craft store!! :grin::grin:

Since we had a lot of first day senders, we should have the gallery going soon. I set it up just in case. Link at the top of the page too.

I’m really looking forward to this gallery and seeing all the amazing things everyone had made! I love the idea of this swap, but the timing is always off for me. Hopefully I’ll be able to join the next one :crossed_fingers:.

OMG! I was all stressing and thinking I had to get to the post office today! (Also my friend remembered I was making tacos tonight and texted me so somehow I thought it was Tuesday. Just realized it’s still only Monday). My “changed my mind and doing something different S” didn’t turn out like I’d envisioned. But… yay! There’s time to redo. My original F also wildly changed on me. But it’s done and I’m super happy with it! Stopped to glance at the swap post while gathering everything to head to the post office after work; I’m overjoyed that I have more time! :partying_face:

I wasn’t entirely happy with one of the things, so I’m swapping it out with another thing I made previously, that I think is better - should be getting it in the mail today :grinning:
