Mug swap.
I am hosting my first ever swap and would love you to take part, yes YOU. You might be a lurker, a non Blogger, an 'international', a swap virgin, whatever- you are welcome.
The swap will work like this;
I will give you a person to send to; this will not be a direct swap so they won't be the same person who sends to you.
You will need to find a mug/cup to send them, this could be from the charity (thrift) shop, from the sales, wherever, but no pressure to spend ££££'s. You can then go to town stuffing the little mug full of crafting lovelies. Ideally you will pop in at least one hand made item. Then you need to pack it up and post it to your partner by the end of February. This is to give all those who have a busy making time for valentines day a chance to join in.
So we know enough about each other to personalise the swap I'd like you to leave a comment on this post, if you'd like to join in, with
Your preferred drink e.g tea, coffee, choc, Gin.
The crafts you enjoy e.g sewing, knitting, beading, paper craft etc
I see no reason that this swap can't involve a crafter of any sort, please don't be shy!
If you have a 'no' reply' blogger account please also include your e-mail. I'd like comments by Friday please so that I can let you all know who you'll be swapping with next weekend.
The photo is my bestest mug, from Whittards, and the cupcakes were made by Simon and the children yesterday.
PLEASE NOTE: cup cake is not included in the swap.

Can I just say again that I love this idea!!
I am mum to three small people, I knit, do stuff with paper, sew and like to recycle stuff. I love stuff that is black or purple (or both). I like to read. I mostly drink peppermint tea but love it when my hubby is home to grind his special beans for the bestest coffee ever!!
Phew, is that enough Jen or do you need to know more! Only joking!!

I'm a sewer ... no, make that a sewist. I make sock monkeys and lots of them, but enjoy lots of other sewing too. I like appliqué too.
My favourite tea is ginger tea - I make it with freshly chopped ginger from the supermarket.
Jenny - do you have a button? I'm happy to help with that if you need a hand.

I drink tea, I like Whittards too so they may have a sale on still. I bought a nice blue and white on from them last year for £2.00. I am mainly into sewing, love fabric and buttons beads you name it. Visit my blog to get ideas etc. I intend to visit my partners whoever they will be.

I love to drink vodka, Baileys, Tia Maria, cocktails, but on a daily basis coffee is fave.
I'm another sewist (yay Kitty I've never liked sewer either lol). Fabric and fibre, buttons and braids, baubles and beads all float my boat. Any more info??? I do belly dancing and now morris dancing (honest!!).
OK I'll stop now.
Cheers Jenny for this.

My name is Michele, and I have teenagers, one in college. I am a Diet Coke lover but will drink hot chocolate in the winter. The rest of my family loves coffee. I sew, embroider, and crochet. Just check out my blog, and you'll know what I'm up to lately.
Good luck with the mug swap. Should I?..I might....
Oh no I know I just can't fit it in.
Maybe next time.

I like coffee and tea but if I have to choose it will be tea. Have been enjoying some 'Red White Fusion' blend I received at Christmas, tis yummy.
I create cloth dolls, love to bead, have delved into book making and will sew anything! I'm a new-this-year blogger but have been having a blast checking out all the cool-n-crafty blogs I find. I have a 14 yo DD and a DH who I tell everyone is my '2nd child'.
Best, Ani
My favorite material to work with by far is felt but i also love all things pink, purple and sparkly and i am also attempting to knit!
I'm going to go start thinking of things for the mug now!
love Sarah

I love tea and coffee, as well as hot chocolate. I love to try out new flavours.
I mainly scrapbook and make cards, although I am playing with sewing (hand stitching as can't afford a machine just yet!) and would like to learn how to crochet. I love buttons!!

My preferred drink is black coffee. I like all things old, vintage, and grungy. I can also be woo'ed with dark chocolate and anything sparkly. Resin is my medium of choice.

My drink of choice is tea. I love the stuff and am always looking for something fabulous to drink it out of.
I dabble in all sorts of crafts, but my heart belongs to paper. I love stationary!

If I'm too late, just let me know and I'll try and keep my eye open for any other swaps!
I love stitching, i'm a magpie for embellishments and buttons in particular!! Absolutely love fabric, and yes i spend ages stroking fabric and staring into the middle distance.
If i am too late, will look out for future swaps.
