I'd also like to say that because of the way this swap is being run there is really no reason why someone couldn't join in even now...would just need to be finished by the mailing deadline (July 1st).

Mailing details: please pm me for my mailing address

Please include a half sheet of paper with your mailing address for me to tape on your return package.

Please label the outside of your package "NTS-#" (nature table swap-number of swap items inside) so I know to put it aside until the time of the Great Sorting...rather than letting my kids tear into it like they are accustomed to doing with packages.

And please chip in $5 toward shipping back to you. You can either send a check/mo/well concealed cash with your swap items OR paypal (funded only to Dannielle@NaturalPlaythings.com ..."swap shipping deposit" in subject line please") I have no idea what shipping will be although I am pretty sure it will be at least $5 each. After I have mailed everyone's packages I will post the differences. I'll refund for any that were less than $5....and I'll post if anyone owe's anything additional.

Also...please label your items with your name and username. People will want to know who made what. Please package items that are grouped and meant to be counted as ONE swap gift together in a ziploc or something. Basically, make it obvious for me so I don't worry I'm sorting wrong and feel the need to pm people double checking.

And, just a reminder...each swap gift should be valued at $7-9

Thanks!!

I'll keep you posted, but I *may* have to back out of this. I am so overwhelmed right now and not sure if I'll have time to get things done....

I'm so bummed but I have to back out:( I thought I brought all of the things I needed with me on vacation but I didnt (and can't get the stuff in time). Sorry:( Have fun!


J

Ok, Chris. If you can't just lmk so I'm not waiting for a pkg (thanks). Hope things slow down for you soon!

Jamie :( OK. Enjoy your vacation!

Dannielle, I had your address still in my paypal account. Mailed today just have to find the dc#-- its here somewhere . It's been an interesting morning lol.
-H

Dannielle.. sadly I must back out. I have not completed my swap items and I'm behind on shipping out my orders. I hurt my back last week and then broke my middle toe last night :( .. so I'm just a tad overwhelmed right now.

~Sherrie

{{{Sherrie}}} Hope you feel like yourself quickly!

And don't worry about our trade...take your time. I've got quite a to-do list myself. :)

Thank you Dannielle. our trade shouldn't be a problem. I may just need a little more time than expected but I'm looking forward to it :)

~Sherrie

Sorry ladies, I have to drop out.. lets do this again in tiem for holiday presents, K? ;)

I just have too much on my plate and not enough ready cash for a million dollars in postage...

sigh, but I surely will cry when I see all the goodies....

whew!! I thought today was the 1st, yeah one more day!:joker:

They have to ship by tomorrow right??
I have Moms Night out tonight and between now and then I have bug bars to make, LOL, but I'll try to get everything done in the morning.... Talk about last minute.
I'll keep you up to date if I can do it or not

so many mamas are dropping out...would extending it a couple days help...like til after the weekend maybe? I know I, personally, would rather extend it if it makes it more do-able. What does everyone else think?

well, if we waited till after the weekend I would have one for everyone done!!!
trisha

The longer we wait, the more I can make. LOL I don't mind waiting either.

can i join??? pretty please?

well, get busy, Anne-Marie!! ;) The more the merrier!!

Um...I'm trying frantically to find something I can do with materials available locally (ie not wool and felting needles rofl). If I come up with something I think is worthy and can finish it this week (highly possible with my grandmother and aunt watching Lauren) I might try to stay in...I'll let you know one way or another as we get to the 6th. I really really want to still do this!!:)

j

Oh sure, give me more time to waffle about what I'm sending. LOL. :p

Actually, it's a relief to see a little extra time.

Thanks,
Katie

working away:p
Jenn

THANK GOODNESS IT WAS EXTENDED! DH sent the wrong box. He switched my pile of "must go out today" and "can wait a day or two" Lol.-- don't know what I would have done with that many hedgehogs.
-H

i was hoping to have enough of my swap items for everyone, but it looks like i'm just going to have five :-(
oh well.... lol.

ummmm, danielle? i dunno if i can get to the post office tomorrow or not... would it be a huge tragedy if i mailed on wednesday?



also, i'm knitting root children/bulb babies..... i'd hoped to have them dressed in colorful floral themes, but they've taken a LOT longer than i anticipated (and i've got about a bazillion swaps/orders in progress too) so they're going to just be pretty plain... it'll be up to you and/or your kiddos to decorate them to suit your own themes. :D

well, phooey!!! :(

Even with the extension, I didn't get mine done. I should have known with doing so much over the holiday weekend and preparing for my usborne party this week, I'd be a bust.

Sorry ladies....
Maybe I can hit the next one

Lissa, no tragedy :) I planning to sort of wed the 14th...I've enlisted help :D I figured a week for pkgs to arrive was enough time...even if some pkgs got out a day or two late.

and no worries, there's no obligation to make something for everyone. I have a feeling that the number of participants will dwindle down even more before it's all said and done.

I've got a question for anyone who made stuff for *everybody* back when everyone meant 25 people. What do you want me to do with the extra stuff?? Divide it up differently if there's more than one per person? Send back leftovers to you with your package? Randomly disperse the extras? LMK :)

cool :D
thanks

Okay, mine REALLY went out today-- took it to the po myself dc# is 03033430000002310888
Dannielle, I'll get you some paypal by tommorrow since I forgot to stick some cash in the box (I'm such a scatterbrain)

As far as extras go-- there are 24 sets in mine-- random dispersal or dividing it up differently is fine since I kept two sets here for me and don't need more than that. Marchroses said something about her son studying them, so maybe an extra set for her?
-H

I only ended up making 10, but if the number doesn't end up being many more I could make a few more.
I did get it in the mail.:Dbig oops i too forgot to include money

hastings, will do :thumbsup:

Jamie...you gonna play? :cool:

trisha...I made 10 sets too. it'll work out just fine...you'll receive 10 different things in return. :)

But I have not PP you shipping yet because I am a loser waiting for funded to come it (**** the CC man Lol!)

I also did not label my offerings (but they are bagged) or number the box -- 30 lashes with a play silk lol. I DID mark the box NTS in the corner, however.

I will PP you in the next day or so. I have had TOO TOO much help form my toddler today concerning the whole swap and I am beat.

:::In my best Austin Powers voice:::

OOOH, Baby!

(yeah, it's getting late and I'm getting silly LOL!)

no worries...I won't be shipping pkgs out til next week sometime. I don't need the torture of having paypal in my acct that I can't spend. LOL!

I only got 3 things completed, but at least they're on the way. LOL.

Just pp'd you too dear.

Katie

finally got my postage paypal'd to you, but I am leaving on sat for two weeks, won't be able to see anything until I get back!

I won't have funded paypal until next week.. so I can either get a check in the mail to you or wait until next Wed.. let me know which you'd prefer :)

at this rate it might be next Wed before all the pkgs get here so I can sort (still waiting on quite a few)....so paypal next week would work fine. :)

I need to know what you want me to do with the extras...many mamas have dropped out. We're down to 15 total now. Did you want me to send what's left over from what you sent back to you or divide stuff up differently...or swap twice with the same person (for a different, yet similar item)

;peek: Did you get mine? Dh mailed it last week, it should be there by now. Oh I need to send you the dc # (he has it at work, but I'll call him and get it). And guess what, your check is still in my purse (I forgot to put it in the box :rolleyes: ). I'm just going to send paypal tomorrow.

I (think!!) i just mailed you 10 I can mail a few more so that I can swap with everyone!!!!
trisha

Shannon, nope, not here yet. Did it go parcel post? that seems to take a little while sometimes.

Trisha, the list of participants has dwindled to 14 now...you aren't that far off from swapping with everyone LOL!

Only waiting on a few pkgs now...hopefully I can do the sorting and get the pkgs back out by the weekend. :D

please take pity on me & don't get mad when i say that i have to drop out. i only have ONE item made, and dh is gone for 2 wks, and oldest ds is gone for 3 wks, and well, i'm out of excuses :(

don't throw things at me, k?

Well. looking at the list it looks like everybody gets 2 of mine lol! 24 sets was a bit much I guess. (If others sent more than what we ended up with, I'm more than thrilled to get 2 of whatever people sent if they don't mind double trading. If not, just giving everyone 2 or putting them in packages randomly is still fine with me.)
-H

I'm the same.. I don't really need any back - LOL. Divide up however you see fit :)

I'll send you three more, they can be for the ones that are picking up?

I'll have them in the mail tomorrow


trisha

I guess what I mean is that I want to give one to everyone!
