Swap Details:
Swapper1: Anuja India, Asia
Swapper2: Sidherian Australia, Australasia

Australia sends to IndiaI did my first swap with Lynne and it was absolutely amazing!! She sent me some lovely TimTams and other local chocolates and I finished them right away. As per my request, she sent me some CDs of Australian aboroginal and other ingenious music (not shown in the snap, as a friend borrowed them right away!). What I really loved was that she sent me a lot fo craft stuff... For a craft buff like me, it was an absolute treasure trove..... craft punches, paper, stencils and what not! And lastly the lovely aboroginal scarf looks great!! Thanks a lot, Lynne. It was great swapping and communicating with you!
Anuja

India sends to AustraliaI had a great time talking to Anuja about her life studying to be a doctor. We found out we had lots in common (including a love of food) and this made the swap a lot of fun.

Sima mailed me about this swap. We had very nice e-mail contact and I really enjoyed putting the package together. The mail was soooooo fast!!! It was great to get a big present by mail.

California/Brazil

Swap Details:
Swapper1: Phyllis California, USA
Swapper2: Cibele Brazil, South America

Brazil to CaliforniaCibele sent so many wonderful things. To name just a few: yarn, tea towels, stickers, and earrings, all in the Brazilian national colors. I love the Brazilian flag, BTW, and I kinda dig the national motto, which is "order and progress." There are Portuguese dictionaries, which is great--a lot of people around here are from the Azores, and I've been wanting to pick up a bit of the language. Oh, and just so much more, including a bunch of snacks not pictured here, and snow globes that Thing 1 had already whisked away when I took the pic.
Phylis

California to Brazil

I have received an amazing box of goodies from my sweet friend Phyllis.

She sent me candies, lots of touristic brochures, postcards, a embroidering kit, a crochet magazine, knick-knacks, a candle, etc... Everything awsome!!!
