You’re welcome! I hope you had fun in the last swap you were in that I had organised 🙂

And now, my answers:

Fashionably preppy. I like classics with a twist on them.
Clutches at the moment. My life is so overrun with totes that I want a change.
Out with friends, picnics in the park (hey, it’s my swap and I’ll say that if I wanna :D), chilling out near water to swim in, SHOPPING!…
Ice cream.
Water and water based drinks: tea, coffee.

Hope you all have fun in my swap!

Here are my answers for the questionairre:
Your style: relaxed but a little funky.
What’s your kind of bag: I’m looking for a great tote at the moment – I have tons of these super cute little ones, but they’re not super practical.
Your ideal summer: Chillin, outdoor concerts, camping, beers on a patio in the evening and definately picnics in the park
Sherbet (made with water) or ice cream (made with cream)? tricky question – I think I have to go ice cream (cherry garcia is my fave!!)
Water or fizzy drinks? I am a diet coke addict so I guess that’s fizzy =D

just wanted to make things easier on my swap partner. I posted my survey in my live journal here: http://dlowewin.livejournal.com/40590.html

12. Michelle - March 16, 2006

Hello,
I am so excited about this swap! I can’t wait to get my wonderful PICNIC IN THE PARK!! Thank you so much for organizing this.

1. Your Style: My style is quirky,victorian,boho chic, with anything and everything “Anthropologie”
2. Your Bag Style: My bag style is definitely the hobo bag type. I also like anything with lace. I have to have something enormous to fit my life in it. I am also a lover of all found objects so they need to go in there too:)
3.Your ideal summer: I have two and couldn’t decide, so I gave you both—–1a.) I love it when it is not too hot, but warm enough to feel it all through your body. I love to be in a park with my family. My son’s playing and my husband and I reflecting on some silly subject, but too us it is as important as the theory of relativity. Finish off with ice cream and an evening drive with all the windows down feeling the beautiful air.
2.b) I also love 6am on a sunday either at a flea market or doing some of the best yard saling ever. Summer morning temps are perfect for me. Even if the afternoon is a scorcher, the mornings are always PERFECT!!! I love the thrill of the hunt. With my husband at my side(and childless of course:), sippin’ coffees, enjoying every bit of other people’s junk!!
4.Sherbet (made with water) or ice cream (made with cream)? I have a serious, insane love of chocolate soft serv with that hard dip(chocolate). I can’t get enough. I follow the ice cream man around and pretend it is for the kids:)
5.Water or fizzy drinks? Pepsi, Pepsi, Pepsi!!

Happy Swapping All!!

1. Your style: ecclectic, vintage, homey and cozy, very laid back

2. What’s your kind of bag: I’m not picky, every bag has a place in my heart

3. Your ideal summer: salt water, sunburn, sand in my toes, babies that smell like sunscreen, a great tabloid magazine, dancing with my girls in the kitchen, cooling off in our new pool (yeah!!!)

4. Sherbet (made with water) or ice cream (made with cream)? fruity sherbet (i’m lactose-intolerant, like you really wanted to know)

5. Water or fizzy drinks? water, please, but I love a great white wine spritzy sangria
