Question -- is there a dollar range for this swap? Or is it just for handmade things?

Susi 01/27/2007 #

hmm, when will we know partners? susi

Wish I could join (I'm in Canada)...my mailbox is sooo empty and I'm sad. I've mailed out 7 swaps and have only received 1 back so far. Perhaps next week my mailbox will fill up?

simplysarah 01/28/2007 #

Handmade only... I changed the send date just in case you needed more time...

if this goes good the next will be international...

pieces. sarah

Sarah, Could this not be US and Canada???

FunToScrap 01/30/2007 #

Would food or drink item be acceptable? Thanks for your time!!

fairykiss 01/31/2007 #

Is anyone else having a problem with getting the partners info??

lilmouse 01/31/2007 #

Swap-bot put in a new feature where the host of the swap has to click the space that says it's okay to assign partners now. It's so the hosts have a chance to make sure there are no problems before the swap begins. If the host doesn't click the button then swap-bot will automatically assign partners in 3 days, I think.

harleychick27 01/31/2007 #

I am unable to see my partners. I think Sarah has to initiate the patner assignments with swap-bot so maybe she hasn't done that yet?

lilmouse 01/31/2007 #

Kiki- Jinx. LOL! :*)

harleychick27 01/31/2007 #

:O)

fairykiss 01/31/2007 #

Nothing like squeezing a deadline :)

mutantpenguin 01/31/2007 #

Yeah... I'm all set to go except I don't know WHO my partners are... yikes!

Cainna 01/31/2007 #

Me too! It's my first swap, and I'm very excited to find out who my partners are. :-)

fairykiss 01/31/2007 #

I worry about making anything just yet for fear of allergies and dislikes. I hope we get our partners soon!! :)

user5824 01/31/2007 #

HI there, this is my first swap and I'm not sure exactly where I find my partners. Are they listed in my "messages"?

harleychick27 01/31/2007 #

Hi!

You just click on the line that states 'see the partners you send to' in the section at the top of the page that states 'As a member of this swap you can:'....That line will appear after partners are assigned.

We might need an extension of a day or two on this one! :O)

lilmouse 01/31/2007 #

I'm ready to send my envelopes, just need the addresses. :*) I can't wait!!!

FunToScrap 02/ 1/2007 #

Will we get a deadline extension since our partners are not assigned yet?

simplysarah 02/ 1/2007 #

Sorry guys!!! I forgot that I had to manually make it so you got yr partners addys... I am changing the send by deadlines, but send now if you want to. I've been at a friends for a few days without internet... so... here you go... get your partners...

1CrazyQuilter 02/ 1/2007 #

Hi crystal, Laurina, and Julie, I sent your packages today, I hope you like them.

lilmouse 02/ 1/2007 #

Thank you Sarah! :*)

harleychick27 02/ 1/2007 #

When I do errands this afternoon will mail packages to Pam (hi, Pam!), Jenna (yup, got your name again! :) and Jennifer. Hope you like!

Cainna 02/ 2/2007 #

I finally filled out my profile for the first time, just in case my partners want to look at it for inspiration. I'm so excited about my first swap; I've got everything picked out and ready to be wrapped. I will be sending my packages to Heidi, Stacy, and Sarah by Saturday!

simplysarah 02/ 2/2007 #

I sent mine out today to:

yooper hill hiedi ms amy o

Enjoy... hope you like.

simplysarah 02/ 2/2007 #

Is the 5th alright you guys??? or shall I change it???

let me know!

lilmouse 02/ 2/2007 #

I sent mine out yesterday afternoon. :*)

fairykiss 02/ 2/2007 #

I know that it is way late in the game to be asking such questions, but are these items supposed to be hand crafted?? I would hate to screw this up! LOL

harleychick27 02/ 2/2007 #

Hi fairykiss!

Yup, it's supposed to be a hand crafted item--one for each of your three partners. :O)

fairykiss 02/ 3/2007 #

Thanks for clearing that up... it's what I figured, but I didnt want to send something handmade if it was to be "supplies" or things of that nature. Thinking too hard about it I guess...

user960 02/ 3/2007 #

I got my package from Pam today -- or anyway, I found it in the mailbox today, but I haven't checked the mailbox in a couple days, so it may have been here earlier. ;) Anyway, it's here, and we started using the pin cushion right away. ;D Thanks!

mutantpenguin 02/ 3/2007 #

Well I sent my envelopes to BrendaLea, Theresa and Jackie in the mail on the 1st. There wasn't a specific "to swap" item listed so I apologize for nothing homemade. Hope you like it anyway!

rutabaga 02/ 4/2007 #

sent mine out and received one today :)

loves the labels... useful! thanks

fairykiss 02/ 5/2007 #

I just got some beautiful cards from Amanda H (sorry I don't know your swapbot name or even if this is the right swap??). Thank you so much, they will be put to great use.

As for my partners, I got everything done and ready to go. I just don't know if I can make it to the post office today with my kids because it is so freezing cold.... I will try really hard to though :)

lilmouse 02/ 5/2007 #

Fairykiss- I hear ya... it's 6 degrees here right now and with the windchill it's a whole -10 degrees, brr. It took a lot for me to even go outside to check my mail today, lol.

But I did check my mail and it was well worth it! Thank you Cainna and Amy for your wonderful packages to me, I love them!!!

1CrazyQuilter 02/ 6/2007 #

Hi Jenna,

Thank you for your wonderful package of 2 ATC's, my first ones! They are so nicely done, I just love them.

1CrazyQuilter 02/ 6/2007 #

Hi Jennpal,

harleychick27 02/ 8/2007 #

Thank you, OrcaSong, for looking at my profile and sending me a bookmark with a BUNNY on it!! :O)

simplysarah 02/ 9/2007 #

I got a lovely green and pink scarve from cianna,atc's from ann marie, and more atc's from goobearsmom.... I love my new scarve!!!! and of coarse I love my new atc's! I just started making atc's and only had one in my book besides my own, so these are not only lovely gifts, but my instant inspiration and a much needed addition to my book!

thanks a bunch!!!

also... I set up Just Do It #2...look for it!

simplysarah 02/ 9/2007 #

hey...

I could use an angel or two to finish up this swap...

piece! sarah

harleychick27 02/ 9/2007 #

Hi Sarah!

I have only received one item in this swap but I see only one person is marked as 'not sent'. So I think I should have at least one more item coming, maybe both, who knows. I'll let you know.

Thanks!!

harleychick27 02/10/2007 #

Hi Yooper!

Thank you so much for the great cards, I love them!!

fairykiss 02/11/2007 #

I got my 3rd package today! Thank you to all my partners!

I also heard back from one of the people I sent to. I'm so glad it made it to you and that you like it. I hope to hear from the rest of you soon... :)

fairykiss 02/12/2007 #

oops, one of the packages was for another swap! I guess I'm still missing one...

Prpldy 02/12/2007 #

Manda: Received the wonderful purple and green scarf! I love that you made it out of cotton and it matches my wionter coat perfectly! Thanks so much! You can count on it being worn a lot! I also liked the stitch you used...was it the butterfly stitch?

Lynn R.: Thanks for the stationary and the labels. Ca never have enough labels. I really appreciate them. Thanks!

BrendaLea in Southern Illinois

fairykiss 02/12/2007 #

prpldy, I'm glad that you liked it! To be honest I have no idea what stitch it was, but it was in the 2007 crochet a day calendar ;)

FunToScrap 02/12/2007 #

Most of the items I have been receiving are not handmade. Maybe there was a misunderstanding... I got glitter for something sparkly and a small notpad with a sparkly cover. It has all been fun to receive any way and thank you!

FunToScrap 02/13/2007 #

Please disregard the above comment! OOPS!

simplysarah 02/14/2007 #

***Its rather disappointing to see that some of you have marked 'sent' when you havent, or perhaps you sent really late?? thanks to all of you who completed this swap!!!

for those of you who havent yet recieved please contact me... and rate accordingly.

fairykiss 02/14/2007 #

I did get all 3 of mine! yay :) and so far I have heard from 2 that i have sent to. not bad at all!!

simplysarah 02/15/2007 #

so... for those of you who havent recieved from hiedi you will be recieving from elizabeth, a newbie who happens to be a friend of mine... I envy her work so I hope you enjoy it too... but you wont be able to rate her so rate your reall partners accordingly and Please thank elizabeth when you recieve. anyone else not recieve yet (that I havent talked to?)

FunToScrap 02/16/2007 #
