This looks cool but I'm not sure what a colorbox chalk pad is?

A color box chalk pad can be found at your local scrapbook store. It is shaped like an eye and is a liquid chalk pad. If you can't find these, look for a small brilliance ink pad. If you still can't find that let your partner know and substitute something good from their profile instead.

I hate to be picky, but may I request a colorbox pigment pad instead of a chalk pad from my partner? Mini-size is fine. I really love to emboss, and though I do have chalk inks I've found they don't stay sticky long enough for me to powder them!

If that's a no go, it's okay. I'll live :)

PS - totally addicted to the bits and bobs in this swap. Might go overboard. :) I <3 to scrapbook!!!!!!!!!!

Same as the above for me, if thats ok. I already have an extensive chalk collection, but I am severely lacking in the ink pad area. Thanks! I'm excited!

Does that make me odd? I've got several ink pads ('cos I've done embossing too - although I seem to mostly have blues, silvers and similar in both pads & powders!) but I'd never heard of nor seen chalk pads until here. And having looked for it online and in person, I've now seen them in the flesh!

Okie Dokie! Partners have been assigned! Have fun and please contact me with any questions!!

Also please note the difference in send by dates. I have given everyone an extra 10 days to find and send all your goodies. Hope this helps those who may have a harder time with a few of the items!

I'm so sorry to my aprtner Kassrose (who I just messaged) ... I've been thinking tomorrow was the 20th and yesterday the 18th for the last week, which affected another swap too :( The package will either be going out tomorrow lunchtime or first thing Thursday morning, depending whether I can get out at lunchtime tomorrow at work. It'll be going airmail so ETA within a week.

Feel so bad 'cos I've been getting everything else out in plenty of time!
