Spring Bouquet Swap




http://betty-thewoodfairy.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/spring-bouquet-swap.html


All you need is a blog, an email address, some postage stamps and lots of enthusiasm for Spring.
If you are visiting from Grow Your Blog you are welcome to join in.
You don't have to be a follower here but you will need to visit regularly to check what's happening
You should be willing to post about your swap afterwards on your blog
The deadline for all parcels to be with your partner is 28th March




Please comment on this post BEFORE 10TH FEBRUARY 
if you are joining in (even if you said you might on the last post!)
Please state if you prefer a partner within UK or will post overseas 
You MUST obtain a proof of posting for your parcel
Please state if you are buying rather than making a gift so I can match you accordingly**
Display the swap icon and linky on your blog if you are willing so others can join in

Be Inspired!


A BLUE-BELL springs upon the ledge,
A lark sits singing in the hedge;
Sweet perfumes scent the balmy air,
And life is brimming everywhere.
What lark and breeze and bluebird sing,
Is Spring, Spring, Spring!
Paul Luarence Dunbar



We are sending our partner a really pretty Spring themed gift.  Interpretation of Spring:  flowers, buds, new life (lambs, birds), fresh colours. 




 You will need to communicate well with your partner - you may want to agree a budget between you and a date to post - discuss your interpretation, likes and dislikes by email - keep postage costs in mind and overseas postal restrictions (i.e. some countries won't allow lavender through the post)

**I will match those who don't craft with someone else who is buying their swap gift, providing there are enough bloggers wanting to do this.  In fairness to those who make/craft I will only swap crafters with crafters.

If any issues or lost post -  I will not be held responsible!
 Please tell me if I forgot anything important!

    Pawsome we hope it proves fun Betty. The sun is out here and it is mild so it feels like Spring is on the way. After all the grey skies we have had it is lovely. Hope you are having good weather. Have a super Saturday.
    Best wishes Molly

    Hi Betty. Nana Go-Go kindly mentioned your Spring event to me. Like MeMeRose i have never done one before. I would like to make something. I live in the uk so maybe i would be better to have a partner also in the UK. The only worry i have is i am not very good with the computer, especially cutting and pasting as you can see if you look at my blog......xx
