Maia
and I participated in a kid's flip flop swap. the 'rules' of the swap
were to send one pair of kid's flip flops to your partner's child and
also one beach item. maia and i finished our package and mailed it out
yesterday and today maia got hers in the mail. she was so excited.
barbara and her child sent maia a fantastic package. not only did it
include the flops and a beach item but some other items as well. each
one was carefully wrapped and a good part of the fun was opening the
box and then getting to unwrap each item.
A beach ball--just what maia has been wanting for the pool--was the 'beach item' in this swap.
The
flip flops were a pink--maia's favorite color (purple is second) and
had pretty beads that made maia gasp and say 'oooh mummy lookie!'
(that is a tiny blue sticker on her right leg--she's a little sticker
crazy)
this
is my favorite picture of the bunch. one of the extras included in the
package was a bottle of bubbles that was cleverly shaped like an ice
cream cone.
we both had so much fun participating in this swap that i hope there are more kid friendly swaps like this one. =)
