SIGN UP BEFORE 8PM(gmt) SUNDAY 13TH JAN!Now, I may be too late in suggesting this but I wondered if any of you would be interested in joining in my Valentine's Swap.
The swap parcel would include
1. a small handmade item that takes less than 3 hours to complete and has a valentine theme. It could be anything: a sock creature, soft toy, simple stitchery, mini-quilt, pin-cushion, bag, purse, knitted something - anything that you would enjoy making and sharing!
2. something chocolatey or sweet-like!
3. and some craft supplies from your own stash - e.g. buttons, ribbon, fabric scraps, lace, wool, string, beads - anything like that but not worth more than £3/$6 in value.
The swap will be open to international bloggers and each swapper will post their own parcel direct to their partner.
I am proposing that we send our parcels ON February 14th, rather than trying to get them there before Valentine's Day - to allow everyone enough time to play! I know I should have thought of this sooner but I'm really not that bright!!!
This will not be a secret swap so you can get to know your partner - and maybe make a new friend.
If you would like to join in please leave a comment on this post. The list will close when I have sufficient numbers!
Have fun! Lucy x
P.S.
Many thanks to Corry for making my swap badge even better! She and I came up with a way of creating the link on the sidebar at the same time but unsurprisingly hers was better!
UPDATE!!!!!
If you want to see something new have a look here!

I'm afraid i can't help with the fancy button, but I like that you've described it as a 'manky picture'made me laugh anyway :o)

I'm in!!!!!!!!!!! I also have to say - blimey Locket you got onto that darn quick since you emailed me!
D'yer know I cannot get this picture out of my head - I imagine you pulling your whole stash apart, growling at any unsuspecting Lockets who should venture near and oh so carefully arranging your notions to photograph for the swap picture whilst they all wait patiently for their tea!
I'm sure that is not at all what actually happened ;)

I've never done anything like this before - what if the person doesn't like what I send them? *blush* Go on then - it might be fun :-) x
PS I meant to say - I love your new header, it's fabulous.
The fact that I've left two comments doesn't mean I want to do the swappy thing twice, I'm just forgetful. :-p x
Oh this looks like fun! Valentine's Day has never been my favorite holiday so maybe this swap will help turn me around LOL

Hello Mrs Locket,
I've been dithering about this as I've never done a swap before, and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to make anything that someone else would like. But I see that some other people have a similar concern, so... yes please, count me in :o)
