Birthdaygram for Pam is on its way today 
Hello crafty friends!
I wanted your advice on something- I’ll be making some handmade goodies to sell at a charity event for Plan International, who do a wonderful scheme called The African School Project, which is taking place in Tanzania this year.
I’ve been asked to make some stuff to sell- the sale is 12th December so I’d like them to be gift type things, can you advise on easy, quick projects that I can make a lot of, and also can use spare/mismatched fabric for? (I can’t crochet or knit!)
Also, if you’d like to donate any homemade items for me to sell that would be greatly appreciated
We’re aiming to raise the £40,000 this year as a company, which as well as building a new school, will also provide teacher training, learning materials, play equipment, repair and replacement of hand pumps, toilets, and community awareness sessions and will help provide a fully functioning centre which will benefit children in the village for years to come. So on a side note, if you did fancy contributing to this year’s scheme, you can visit my friend Vanessa’s page to donate: https://www.justgiving.com/VanessaLecomte
Thanks in advance for your advice!

Really late posting my pic, sorry! I've had phone hell over the last 2 weeks, but its resolved now. Heres what Lauren sent me!
I agree with Kat/Libby- it seems to have gotten worse the longer the swaps gone on, and I think many people like me & Kat, have had all theirs arrive okay but had a lot of trouble receiving. Its put me off doing the swap next year I think, as theres just no way to guarantee everyone receives everything they should. It's no one's fault really, its just weird, as international swaps in general the last year have become more risky, I've noticed even experienced vets have been off the swap radar the last year.
You're welcome Kat.
@Joss- I never received from Lisa or Pam, both US- and Pam sent twice- so i'm wondering whether it might be the US postal service! And I never received yours either All EU and UK ones turned up okay as did the one from Sally in US, but hers was very late.
All mine have been okay, and I think all the UK girls have been okay with theirs being received, so it might be an internation thing. Such a shame..
Hey Lauren, I received yours yesterday I think, but haven't had a chance to open it yet, will post pics soon! Thanks
Yeah it should be mine You're welcome!
That bracelet is adorable!
Happy birthday for yesterday Joss x
Hi Mary, actually i received your today! It was posted on 20th Sep according to the stamp- so 5 days is not so bad for Euro delivery i think ^_^
Thank you for the lovely tea and candies, i especially love the card though.
I've not received anything further, its been nearly a month since my birthday so i'm guessing its not likely either.
Lisa, Pam, Mary and Joss's I do not have.
Lisa- dispatched 6 weeks ago, never arrived.
Pam- says she dispatched in time, not received.
Mary- dispatched late- not received.
Joss- Not sure if/when it was dispatched, not received.
Might just be me and you Lauren!
Thats a lovely idea, and I haven't done a swap in a little while- I'm in! How about we list our top 5 Roald Dahl books though?
