Oh goody goody i love fuscia.
As this is the first swap of this kind I have done could you tell me please,
do I put my details on each individual pkt. or on the outside of the pkt. that holds them all? :unsure: I take it I send off all 10 pkts but will get one of my own back again.
Will post them off in morning.

[karlotta]

Yep send all 10 packets, it would be fantastic if you could put your group on the envelopes, but not essential if you've already sent them!!

[joanne ward]

hi karlotta just got my rik-rak and its green (like a mid-emerald colour)...hope this is ok?

[karlotta]

That sounds lovely Joanne. It's now on the list.

[dappyscrapper]

OMG Karlotta :stop:

I just realised I was bidding against you for that 10M blue ric rac!!! :lol: I bid before I realised and now I'm highest bidder now but if you go higher I wont bid against you!!! :P Cor who'd have thought there'd be so much excitement over ric rac! :)

[karlotta]

Oh no Kate!

As you can tell I am rather obsessed by ric rac! Sorry didn't see this last night! Went to bed after my last bid was exceeded! Great minds eh?!

[dappyscrapper]

Well I guess you know that my colour is light blue :lol: I'll send it to you as soon as I receive it.

[karlotta]

I've added you to the list Kate! Sorry I really am slightly obsessed!

[lauralaura]

Ohh looks like there are some lovely colours coming my way from group one!!! Katy, will be posting ric rac on saturday, hope this is okay, got to get some little bags today.

[karlotta]

That's great Laura!

I've got all the groups laid out in my craft room already and they're looking very nice already!

I've no room to scrap though so I've moved a load of my scrapbooking stuff onto the dining table!! :D

[chrismicbritt]

[Ria979902]

I've posted mine:)

[dappyscrapper]

Posted mine yesterday!!

[karlotta]

Katy,
have you received my rik rak yet? It went in last Friday's post 1st class!

Received today!!

All rather lovely!! Thanks again!!

[Chris F]

Hi - Just wondering if you have recieved mine yet - they were posted on Tuesday

Chris

[karlotta]

Hi Chris! I have received yours now. Very lovely! Thanks again

[karlotta]

All group one now received . I'll try to get them parcelled up today and sent out. If you are in two groups I'll most likely hold on to your until i receive both,as I only have one envelope etc...

On the topic of envelopes, those who sent a label for me to reuse the original envie, may get a replacement as one or two don't look fit to send back! My postie is obviously a bit rough!!

[julieann]

Thanks Katy - will now by stalking postie. I can't wait to see all the colour's.

[linda321]

Hi everyone! I've got my pink ric rac now, but am thinking I'll wait till after Christmas to post it, as I don't want it to get lost in the Christmas rush, and I don't think I'm holding anyone up.

[Scrapcomber]

Ric Rac has arrived safe and well, many thanks the colours are lovely. :D

[julieann]

Katy - my ric rac arrived this morning. They're fab colour's can't wait to use them but have stroked them all! Thanks for hosting.

[jainethepain]

I got my Rik Rak today - it's gorgeous, all of it!! Thanks everyone, especially our very efficient host!

[katie squirrel]

mine made it today - thanks everyone!! Fab colours - many I dont have either... thanks again Katy for being a great host!!

[karlotta]

So glad that the packages have started to arrive! I'm going to leave feedback once everyone in one group has posted that they've received their ric rac. Think that's the safest way to make sure i don't miss anyone!!

[lauralaura]

HI
I received my packet this morning too, thanks Katy for doing such a great job hosting the swap, and for all those in group 1 for some fab ric rac!!

[alilydon]

[lala28]

Hi ladies

Sorry have been floored with this flu bug, will sort out and post tomorrow, thanks for your patience

[karlotta]

Received Ric Rac from Scrapperkat today! Very lovely!

[karlotta]

Received Anita's ric rac today! Also another envie of green ric rac. Assume it must be from lala28? But no user name on it... Real name is hard to read, but looks like Ryane Stewart from the return envelope.... Bit confused! I never received any info about what colour you wanted to do if it is you! And we already have green in each group...

[lala28]

Hi

Sorry it me causing all the confusion , i had 3 lots ordered form ebay and was goiong to let you know when everyone else had chosen, then got this awful flu bug, the ebay ricrac still hasn't arrived so bought some locally, it was a bright green so didn't think it would be a problem. if you want i can send another colour, let me know and i can send tomorrow, maybe black??

[karlotta]

I'm fine with the bright green and will go ahead and package them up over the weekend if everyone else in group 3 is ok with that too.... I personally love green!

[Emmak]

Bright green sounds good to me.

[Krystal Majik]

Me too, can't wait to get my grubby little hands on it all!!

[karlotta]

I've packaged it all up and will aim to get in in the post tomorrow. I'll also make a start tomorrow on rating everyone!

[karlotta]

All the parcels went in the post today! And I've just finished leaving feedback for everyone! If I've missed anyone give me a shout! Thanks girls for taking part! And please let me know when you get your parcels!
