Amongst the swaps were these fabulous 3D ones, the photos do not really do them justice.  There are lollipop and chocolate holders, bookmarks, a fragrant candle, sewiing kit, handkerchief holder and a bird lapel pin.  So much time and effort has been put into these, it is amazing and I am so grateful for being one of the recipients and to have attended...

There were over 400 people at the venue and most took swaps with them.  These can be anything from card samples to boxes where we trade...
