Swaps #24-45: Oh wow it's been a while

So I haven't been updating for a while.. and that is my fault because I have been putting it off... So here is an update of the swaps that I have been in.

#24: Crazy for Knitting - Send some knitting supplies to one partner. I got mine and loved it. But the girl who I had hasen't recieved hers yet. And we had a couple of flakers. This was my first time hosting so yah. Not so hot. But I liked the idea of the swap.

#25 and #43: 7" granny squares - send two granny squares to two partners. I love making grannies. and it will be so much fun to put them together and say that they came from all over. I just wish I knew a different pattern

#26 and #33: Blank Notecard - Send some blank notecards to partners. I love this kind of swap. Simple and fun. Notecards are always needed.

#27: I am a Nerd - E-mail partners and tell them why you are nerdy. Here is what I sent:

The room quiets from the last speech and the brown haired girl looks around before standing up. It was her turn to speak and she knew it. She just hated talking in front of an audience. Someone once told her to picture them naked. That never worked, she just turned beet red.
The girl walked slowly to the mic, trying to gain her composure. She looked out at the group and smiled shyly. Clearing her throat she said, "Hello, my name is Janis. And I am a nerd." She combed her fingers through her shoulder length hair. "Now you might not believe me but I have a rather extensive list of reasons for you. Please hear me out." "First off there is the convention that I nearly wet my self over. I was at work, just flipping through the newspaper when I saw an add for this convention with LENOARD NEMOY!! There will be more people there but I am most excited over the fact that Spock will be an hour away from me. Plus the fact that I really REALLY want to go." She smiled out at the audience again, getting more confident with every word. "My second nerdy thing is my obsession with yarn, and not just yarn but any knitting or Crocheting thing. It is like crack for my soul. I cannot seem to get enough of it. I have a three drawer tupperware thing full of yarn and I always desire more." She began to think of another reason why she was a nerd but couldn't. "Well I guess that is about it. Thank you for listening to me." She held up her hand in a vulcan form, and said "Live Long and Prosper."

#28: Love Postcard - send a Postcard that signifies love. Such a cute swap. I really liked the PC i got.
