Hope my birthday gram got there okay! It came out really cute I wanted to keep it myself- be a shame if it got lost. ..

Julia C messaged me to say she has received it and that she'll post pictures soon.
Thanks, x
My first birthdaygram is now in the post
Julia C should have received mine now, I sent her a mail 4 days ago but its still marked as "unread" so she may be on vacation. I'll check in with her again next week.
Pics of what I got from Libby:

Julia C's 10 items are in the post today!
I received Libby's items, she made me a bracelet from the buttons and beads (unfortunately its a teeny bit small) and a cute bunny doll from the fabric which is really well made, I wish I could sew as neatly as this!
I made Libby something similar, which she should get any day now, but its not as good a sewing quality as Libbys was
Next time i will try to be less ambitious- this is the lesson I have learned!
Will post pictures tonight.
I am interested again this year please. You already have my deets!
Thanks for organising again Libby!
Mines in the post to Libby today
Long overdue update from me: I received Julia C's package- lots of lovely bits- working on sending hers now (been really busy! But will hopefully get her package out soon)

I picked it up from the post office yesterday! Vicky made me some great items- i got a tiny triforce necklace, a lumpy space princess little feltie-so cute! Also a LSP notebook, which i cant wait to start using, and a Dangermouse shoulder bag. She also put in two massive bars of chocolate as an extra.

I havent received mine yet either, but I think its probably in the post office waiting for me.
The only thing I can think of though is perhaps finding a way so everyone gets a similar amount, so its a little fairer.
For example, some people who send out birthday grams all year round only got 1 or 2 items in return, where some got much more....
Perhaps just ensuring that everyone is commited to sending out internationally and sending out a birthdaygram for every birthday? You could create a list of people and keep on top of what was received, to make sure everyone sent one? And also perhaps send an overview to people so they know when and how many they expect to send so no one is caught out and has to flake...just an idea though.
Overall, its a really good idea though and it works pretty well- thanks for all your efforts thus far Libby!
