Mini-Swap

2007-01-07T12:15:00.000-08:00

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....

check out the new member of our family

2007-01-06T12:37:00.000-08:00

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

2007-01-05T12:48:00.000-08:00

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....

Anton got some very nice stickers, he could fill-out with the pens that followed together with some nice stickers. Emma and Laura received each a cute handmade bag and inside the bag there were an apron with the same cake deko as on the bag. And there were more: small play cakes and others stuff in wood. They just kept saying "yes, yes juhu!!!".

Thank you very much, Erika, Mila and Sofia.

I loved to swap with you - maybe we could do it some time again.

My parcel to Erika and the girls will be on its way on monday - can't waite to see if they'll love it....
