Mini-Swap

Erika from mikodesign told me about the Miniswap that mommycoodle has started and I thought it would be fun for my kids to do a swap together with them.

They think it is great that their mom is swapping with people from all over the world. We allways find our atlas and try to find the places from where the swaps are coming.

I', looking forward to making this swap....

DELICIOUS STUFF FROM CATHERINE....

I got a great candy swap this christmas from Catherine. We made a candy-plate and tasted some of the candy right away. So many things we haven't tasted before. Thank you Catherine....

check out the new member of our family



Isn't he sweet - his name is Tarsan (Yes we spell it with a S...)

He is a cute Labrador puppy and he is now 3 month old. He is very clam and he has accepted us as his new family.

Anton, Emma and Laura love him - if they could they would love to have him in their beds during the nighttime, but we have tried that one time with our old dog and we don't want to make that mistake again....

I will put out some more photos of him as soon as possible....

Handmade toy-dog




In december my sons class had a christmas stocking with small presents for all the kids - one for each day - and instead of buying something in a store, I decided to make something.

I made a cute dog - Oscar - and when he was picked by one of the boys in my sons class, he made the new owner did a little dance in the classroom. Anton - my son - told me, that Oscar was the most popular gift the whole December.... That just tells me, that children appreciate when we make something for them and it is great to receive something unique....

Swap-Bot: Wallet Swap





I joined a beautiful swap on the www.swap-bot.com and I got Barbara in USA as my swap-partner. She loves snowmen, and I made this my theme for the swap.

I made a cute wallet in blue and white squared fabric on the outside and blue and white striped fabric on the inside . On the front I put a snowman.

I included a handmade snowman pin, some wooden stickers, some wooden buttons, paper snowmen and a collage with a snowman off course.....

I wrapped it nicely with a treehanger in danish design......
