Swap-bot pass the parcel

My recycling ethos goes hand in hand with swap-bot. I tend to join the ones that encourage recycling or emailing ideas.

My latest swap-bot venture was joining the British Birds Pass the Parcel - and I must say I am really pleased with what was received. The only down side to pass the parcel is that it does have a higher carbon footprint as the parcel journeys from place to place via royal mail.

Anyway here are the 10 items I  recieved

• Ribbon flower embellishment kit
• Embossing Greetings card book
• Cards with vellum book
• 9 small christmas stamps
• Pair of mini flip flop embellishments
• 3 postcards
• A5 photo album
• Greek snack
• Pink beads
• Pink pritt stick (with Green&Black organic chocolate bar stuck to the back)

I took out the greek snack (turned out to be Halva - something I used to adore as a child), the pink beads and the Pink pritt stick (which will be added to the Uganda school resources) but that also meant I had to eat the chocolate :) It was a very yummy parcel.

This is what I will be sending out to the next person

• Ribbon flower embellishment kit
• Embossing Greetings card book
• Cards with vellum book
• 9 small christmas stamps
• Pair of mini flip flop embellishments
• 3 postcards
• A5 photo album
• 6 metres funky fibres
• 4 handmade fridge magnets in a metal mint tin (ready for altering)
• 4 packs punched card shapes and die cuts

I think that is a good exchange. I would have included more punched shapes but at the moment everything is topsy turvy. There is always next time.
