I was lucky enough to have spent my childhood growing up beside the seaside in the gorgeous seaside town of North Berwick on the East coast of Scotland. The beaches are wonderful and we spent lots of happy days down on the beach when we were children. Although I don't live there now, it is only a short drive away and we spend most weekends down in North Berwick visiting my Mum. It is lovely to be able to take my own children to play on the same beaches as I played on, and like most children, they like nothing better than building sandcastles and paddling in the sea.
The reason that I am rambling on about the seaside is that I have just signed up for my very first swap! How scary is that!! Rachel is organising a Seaside Swap and although I am little apprehensive about it I am also very excited too and am looking forward to the challenge of making and finding seaside themed things :O)

Good luck with the swap , looking forward to seeing what you make .
Lovely (but bracing) seaside where you are! Thanks very much for entering my giveaway. It's really nice to find someone who knows some of the shops I do. At first I was a bit sceptical about the crafts in the self aid shop - from the window going past they'd seemed neither traditional nor modern - sort of stuck in the 1980s. But when I got in I was really impressed! I adore rag rugs and I saw someone had made a thistle wallhanging using a tufted rug technique. Why on earth I didn't buy it for £12 I cannot imagine! But I'll be back in June, so I may just pop in again...
Oh swapping is fun, you will enjoy it!
love
