Flies from the swap

Post by fflutterffly » Wed Oct 12, 2011 10:25 pm

a package arrived with flies from the swap. I held my breath and open the tin. I was not disappointed.

Ariel - I know what you mean. I had the same reaction with all twelve packages of swap flies. I'd come home from work each day, hoping to see one of the packages in the mail. Kind of like Christmas morning... :D Thanks for participating.

I would jump on the chance to take pics of the set, but I am realistically not going to be able to do that. Fortunately for us...there are about 15 folks who in the past year cranked their macro skills up for just this kind of thing. Who's it going to be?

Howdy All;

During the Nemes Swaps both swap meisters took the photos ....
was under the presumtion that that was part of the job.
