    well, since you included my little bunbuns in your post, it would be a shame for me to not join in! hopefully i will have better luck with this batch of buttons. those super sweet bunny buttons were lost along the way...all that arrived to the swap momma was a rudely opened envelope (and she still sent buttons back to me...how awesome is that?)!
    off to send in my info now...

    Oh I like this! It's very tempting, but I'm wondering if I can start a swedish subgroup to your swap group. Would that be possible? I have a swedish pattern blog where my friend and I have had swaps before.

    I'm not sure if I'm joining yet [my luck, I'll wait too long]. I have some buttons that I started a few months ago that need a home. I have no idea what to do with them. They're just super fun to make. Are there going to be more swaps if I miss this one?

    med nål och tråd – hej, that sounds like a wonderful idea! I will message you now x
