DDC Swap - Page 2

post #21 of 64
Mine is going out today!! I haven't been allowed to drive and DH has been so super busy with work so we finally picked up the last couple things yesterday. I am going to send it priority so it should get there within a week. Sorry it has taken so long to send out:

I sent my package out on the 9th, and I just looked up the tracking # and it appears it's still in my city at the post office. I'm really hoping that's an error.

I recieved my package from krismarie last week, I posted a pic on my blog (link below, the word "knitter") of what was in it, but I can list it here is everyone wants to see:

Organic cotton breastpads
New Mama Herbal Bath (which caused my dh some distress as he was concerned about witch hazel getting into my breast milk...which is pretty funny since this tea is for sitting in!! He's so cute when he when he worries: )
A very delicious bar of dark chocolate with blueberries
Fairybum salve (which works fantastic, dd had a sore bum that was just not getting better, 2 applications and she is looking great!)
Thank You cards
A Superman activity book for my dss and stickers for my dd (Grace was so excited over the stickers, Cam felt very special to have been included in the care package, thank you very much!)

Lavendar/Chamomile Bath Salts
Healing herbs for bath pp
Nail/Cuticle Cream
Healing Salve
Oatmeal Milk Bath Powder
Stickers for ds and cute little gingerbread men to play with
Samples of Lansinoh and Avalon lotion and bath

The box sure does smell good! Thanks again.

We got:
- a Monkey coloring book , a puzzle, bubbles, and a cute butterfly purse with a fairy coloring page for the kids

- baby booties and hat (for both sexes )
- lap t's that I requested - thanks so much! I can't wait to dye them!
- yummy organic chocolate (of which I already had a piece ) and delicious smelling chai tea...mmmm!
- a photo album (in my favorite colors!)

Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness, MaxiMom!

You're so welcome MonkeyPrincess! Those lap t's are sure hard to find, thank goodness for 2nd hand stores. I picked some up for us, too.

Glad you liked your package. This swappy stuff is fun!

Thanks St. Margaret!

I just got my package and it is perfect! I got some leg warmers (they are sooooo cute) and some postpartum bath herbs that I had on my wish list but had not yet found the $ to get...

I am so excited! I LOVE getting packages! Mine also had tissue paper and a cute note with it, which makes me wish that I had packaged mine better

Also, my package went out today - DH couldn't make it to the PO yesterday. It should arrive by Friday!

I'm giddy!

You're welcome! Gosh, everyone had these long lists of things I was starting to worry but I'm so glad you like it! (it's my first online swap ever!)

It is PERFECT! I swear, you must have known that I needed those bath herbs! I was a bit worried about the hemorrhoids since they have been so much more annoying with this pg, and also I love that it helps healing because I have a UTI right now and even going 5 days without DTD is hard for DH and I - anything to help speed recovery from childbirth is a godsend (TMI sorry, but it is true)!

Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you !

UltimateSerj, awesome idea on the photo. Duh, why didn't I think of that?

My awesome package from MonTana Mama that I gushed about here contained:

Cloth wipes
Knit hat for babe
Burt's Bees diaper cream
Sample size lotions and some hand salve
Homemade body salve
Homemixed loose pregnancy tea
Necklace
Bracelet for DD
Some trinkets and small chocolates (that DD inhaled )
A few small sample teas
Notes for the sitter
Matching tie-dyes for DD and the new babe (can't wait for that photo!)

There may be more...for this was fabulous (and its no longer in front of me).

Didn't I say that MonTana Mama was awesome. She put me to shame with her friendly notes, beautiful wrappings, and perfect package!

Oops! Mine went out tuesday and I forgot to put my user name on it. I sent my Mama to the Post because getting out is so HARD right now! Which you all know, obviously!

My package actually had fewer things than alot of whats posted here. But alot of time was involved as I handmade alot! Hope my swappee is happy: !!!

Dear Serenitii

Thank you SO much for the beautiful and lovingly made swap package! you did such wonderful work!

I LOVE the baby booties and matching wipes and burp cloth. You did an excellent job!

I love the CDS. DH loves the coffee-I am sure I will too. I also LOVE all the teas! I just received the package yesterday and I have already had 4 of the teas!

Looking forward to a soothing soak as the EDD approaches and after babe arrives. Also looking forward to knitting up a soaker! I was meaning to buy some yarn from Cascade and you sent the perfect color!

You went above and beyond! Your next swap partner will be SO lucky to be matched w you. Are you addicted to swapping? I had to limit myself to one swap/month or I would want to do it all the time! As you know the shipping can be the most exp. part.

Thank you again!!!

You're very welcome! The yarn ball is hiding some additional goodies. I don't knit (yet!) but when I read about the magic yarn ball swap idea, I couldn't help wrapping some things up, it sounded like such a neat idea

This is actually my first swap ever, so I really had no clue what I was doing! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Wildthing -

Thank you so much for the package. It was great! The soaker is adorable (it makes me want to learn to knit) and the tie-dye tee is perfect, especially since I was just thinking about how I should have gotten more tees and fewer onesies since I'm using cloth diapers. The dinosaur outfit is adorable, the nursing pads are soft and comfortable and I think the ring sling will work well. The prefold and snappy will be sure to come in handy. Thanks again! This was my first swap and it was really fun!

Mine went out today. I'm so sorry for being slow. I have no excuse except I'm just slow and sluggish.

arismomkoofie, I got my package yesterday. Thank you! The tea looks great and I love the soap and essential oil. There were also some cute little baby gowns. If I'm forgetting anything, please forgive me.

I just checked the tracking # again on the package I sent out, and it's still in Dartmouth!!!! I am going to call the customer service centre on Monday (they are not open today) and find out what is going on because I am getting annoyed: I know it's called "snail mail"...but this is ridiculous, it's been two weeks since I dropped it off!!
